Top tips for hiring a car in Lima

  • Lima is a glorious city filled with colonial history, monasteries, archaeological sites, and a sprawling metropolis for you to explore. Organizing a hire car will give you the opportunity to witness the wonderful landscapes and hills that surround Lima. Not only will a hire car give you the freedom to navigate your travel at your own pace, it will also open up the chance to experience an authentic slice of Peru within the rural villages and districts that surround Lima.
  • Jorge Chávez International Airport is located 11 km (7 miles) from Lima and is a major transport hub for South America. Use KAYAK to view the best hire deals from a list of major companies such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Thrifty at Jorge Chávez International Airport. Once you have organized your hire and collected your baggage, simply proceed to the Arrivals Hall, where you will find the counters of the hire agencies and have the car keys in your hand in no time.
  • Driving in Peru is unique and likely different from the conditions you have experienced elsewhere. The roads can be manic and drivers fight for every gap and angle. Understanding this before you arrive will hold you in good stead, so just be prepared to alter your driving nature and react to the new environment. The constant sound of car horns is also something you will get used to quickly -- a blast on the horn indicates that you are passing or approaching a nearby vehicle, rather than an indication of anger.
  • Lima has a population of almost 10 million and of course the city’s roads reflect this. Congestion is common throughout the majority of the day, with afternoon and evening periods the worst time to be driving. If possible, try to avoid driving after 3pm and look into finding secure parking where you can leave your car and have opportunity to explore the city via public transport and walking.
  • Book your rental car in Lima at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Lima are around 60% cheaper than other car types, on average

The car was not ready, and we were not offered a reqsonable alternative. They did offer another car, but it costed four times the one we had booked. They provided a car at night, 14 hours later, not the yaris we had booked, but a corrolla. We had to pay for the upgrade, even if it was not our fault. Moreover, we booked the car for ten days, and since the vehicle was late, we tried to reduce it to a 9 day rental. Thye told us they could not change our original reservation. Brief, they can do what they need at your expense, but you have no flexibility at all. They do not honor reservations. If you want to rent a car at this place, make sure they do have the car (call in advace) . Even when they did not have cars available, their webpage allowed us to make new bookings for the same day...

I rented a car at least a week before getting there. My original rental was for 11:00pm. Because of a flight delay, I didn't get to the airport until 2:00am. At that point, I went to the counter. He saw my name, but said no cars were available. I explained that it wasn't my fault that the plane was late. He said he didn't know what to say. He got in at midnight and no cars were available. Of course, that means, my car was gone as of midnight.

this was the worst experience renting a car ever. They closed the office before pickup- the next day I spoke to several representatives for another pickup- they TRIPLED the price of the rental- never again- not with Hertz, nor with Kayak...you guys suck.

I went with Hertz because I thought a big company like that would not have hide the fees and I would pay what I was quoted. After waiting over an hour to pick up my vehicle and denying all other extras and fees, my $100 rental car somehow turned into $180 rental car. After returning the vehicle, checkout took another 45 minutes and they kept trying to tack on additional charges the whole time. I would stay away from renting with them.

Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and thorough.

Cons:

I understand the road restrictions with the odd/even numbered plates. We were told that we would have an odd numbered plate, which worked well for us because of the driving we needed to do on a particular day. However, they gave us an even numbered plate, which really messed up our day.

Pros:

Friendly and honest staff

Cons:

I had serious difficulty finding the location to drop off the car. In fact, it was closed although Alamo claims to be opened 24 hours. I managed to leave the car at the designated place and have the clerk at the desk arrange for the checkup. I did make my flight, but it was a stressful experience. The staff was really friendly.

Oct 2016

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and courteous. The car performed well with no problems.

Cons:

Pick up took an Hour! Although this was due to their not being able to process American Express that day - not really their fault - it was their banks's. At least the representative provided options. The car was advertised on kayak as a manual transmission but I received an automatic ... which was a little disappointing as a was looking forward to driving a stick shift ... but probably it was more practical in the end. If you are thinking of driving in Lima ... the guidebooks are Right! DON'T DO IT! Craziest drivers Ever!... at least get the insurance. Thankfully nothing happened to us.

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was in almost perfect condition. With one small downside.

Cons:

We've booked the cheapest car but for it you should leave 5000$ frozen if you're not 26. We did not find that info on the web site. So we end up on more expensive rental. The car that we rented was very sensitive to noise. If the noise was really loud the alarm enabled. Otherwise car was perfect.

Rental price was only a 'base price' in which local taxes were added. In addition the car reserved was not available (they overbooked) and the upgrade to another car was not free. In the end more than double the price of the original rental agreement was demanded and the staff at the airport were not helpful or accommodating, borderline rude.

This was the worst car rental experience I have ever had and would never rent from Dollar or Hertz (their counter administrator) in Lima airport. They did not have our reserved car available when we got there in the evening. Their staff, (she told us her name was "Elizabeth"), refused to upgrade us to the next larger available vehicle as would normally be the practice; instead they gave us a smaller car, and charged us the same rate as for our larger reserved car, claiming that the rate for the smaller vehicle had gone up since we had made our original reservation! Then, they doubled the price of the rental by insisting that our U.S. auto insurance coverage would not be acceptable unless we allowed them to reserve an $8000 line on our credit card. If we paid them for a lower but still not complete level of coverage through Dollar, they would reserve a $1000 line on our credit card. That way if there was any damage to the vehicle, they would take it directly from us and we would have to deal with our insurance company to get reimbursed when we returned to the U.S. The only way to avoid using up credit on our own card was to pay them for separate coverage at the counter. This doubled our rental cost. The rental car agent at the counter next to Hertz/Dollar told us that what Hertz/Dollar was doing to us was illegal. We were stuck and paid for the insurance add-on. Avoid Hertz/Dollar at all costs in Lima!
