Quito car hire

If you are planning to stay only in Quito, then we recommend an economy compact car that will be easy for navigating the city. If you plan to travel the mountain roads for a trip outside the city, we recommend a four-wheel drive, like a full-size or intermediate SUV for your car rental in Quito, which will make you better prepared to deal with any sort of conditions that may come up.

The speed limits in Quito vary considerably depending on what type of road you’re driving on. On urban roads, the driving speed limit is 60km/h (40mph). On the perimetry roads, it is 120km/h (75mph). When driving on straight highways the speed limit is 135km/h (80mph) and on curves drops down to 75km/h (45mph). Speed cameras are common in Quito, will automatically record fines and submit a request of payment to your rental company.

Keep in mind that it’s rather difficult to find parking in Quito. We recommend that you use your Quito car rental to travel larger distances and parking your car at your hotel whenever possible if they have a secured parking lot. There are usually guides on the streets who will help you find a parking place and keep an eye on your car while you are gone. They will be expected to be tipped around $0.50 for their service. There are typically paid parking garages at malls and large shopping centers as well.
