KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in San Carlos de Bariloche
- San Carlos de Bariloche is a beautiful Argentinian city nestled in a national park in Patagonia. The city rests on the banks of the glacial Nahuel Huapi Lake and in the shadow of mountains like Cerro Bella Vista, Cerro Otto and Cerro Catedral. Car hire in San Carlos de Bariloche is the ideal way to explore the city itself and the vast region that surrounds it. You can stick to the lush mountains, lakes and national parks of Patagonia or venture out into The Patagonian Steppe, Argentina’s largest desert.
- San Carlos de Bariloche Airport (BRC) has a single terminal for all incoming and outgoing international and domestic flights. Also known as Teniente Luis Candelaria, the airport has some kiosks, like Avis, Alamo and Europcar, offering San Carlos de Bariloche car hire from the arrivals hall of the terminal building. Companies like Modena, Rentacar and Hertz offer free shuttles from the airport to their hire facilities.
- In San Carlos de Bariloche, and indeed in all of Argentina, there are some specific driving rules you must be aware of. You’ll need to obtain an international driver’s licence to be able to hire a vehicle, and you’ll be driving on the right side of the road and overtaking to the left. Once you’re on the road, you must keep your low-beams on at all times, even during the day. Remember to flip the lights off every time you exit the vehicle so you don’t run the battery down. Finally, if you’re bringing the family along, children under the age of 10 must sit in the backseat.
- Police checkpoints are relatively common in Argentina. If you’re approaching one, slow down and watch to see if the officer indicates for you to pull over. They don’t stop every vehicle, so take your time, pay attention and only stop if the officer indicates for you to do so. They will want to check your travel documents, ID and insurance papers. So, if you’re planning on arranging car hire in San Carlos de Bariloche, it’s important to have all your documents in order and within reach in the vehicle.
- Book your rental car in San Carlos de Bariloche at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in San Carlos de Bariloche
What type of car is recommended for driving in San Carlos de Bariloche?
Small, economy vehicles are a great choice for car hire in San Carlos de Bariloche. They offer excellent fuel efficiency and are able to handle wet road conditions, making them particularly ideal for autumn and winter travel, as this is when Bariloche gets most of its rainfall. If you’re travelling in a group, bringing a lot of gear or simply wanting a bit of extra oomph to get up the winding track that leads to Cerro Tronador, an SUV might be a more suitable option.
What’s the speed limit in San Carlos de Bariloche?
In Argentina, you’ll find a range of speed limits to suit the traffic conditions. Residential areas like Anagasti and San Francisco have a 40 km/h speed limit. On the more urban streets, like Avenue Exequiel Bustillo, the speed limit is usually 60 km/h, but you must keep an eye out for speed signs and adjust your speed accordingly. On the autopista (highways), you can get up to 100-120 km/h, but once again, this will be dictated by the signs you see along the way.
Where are the best places to park in San Carlos de Bariloche?
You will find on-street parking in San Carlos de Bariloche. However, the city centre is quite compact, so if you’re staying in a hotel like Puerto Pireo or Villa Huinid Hotel Bustillo that offers free, secure parking, it’s often more practical to walk to the local shops and along the waterfront.

Dec 2019
Cons:
After showing up and filling out all the needed paperwork to pick up my reserved rental car it took about an hour to receive the car because they had to wash it. For that amount of time I would it expect it to be clean. It was not. They didn’t have the car size I reserved so they gave me a smaller car. Didn’t tell me beforehand just drove out with a small car and gave to me. After such a wait I took it. No discount. I paid the price of a larger car. The car was old had over 300,000km on it and felt as though it would break at any moment. No a good experience2.0 Poor
Nov 2017
Pros:
Location of drop off.Cons:
A car Chevrolet Corsa model was an unconfortable way of transport especially when you travel longer distances. The dust enter into car, the bags, the dash and everything was dusty. For the type of roads of Argentina, you need a car who has sixth rear when you reach 100 km per hour. This car was very unstable because off problems of design. We spent a lot of money in gasoline, like it was a SUV!! I think if that Hertz pretends hiring cars a that price, Hertz should offer better cars in each category. Adicionally, personal staff was rude and sounds pity.9.6 Wonderful
May 2017
Pros:
No hassles, drama. Fast and streamlined pickup/dropoff procedure, attentive and well informed checkin clerk. Rate as advertised, permit to visit Chile (extra) added about 10 minutes to the pickup process. Better to book online, this locks in the rate, avoiding many of the local idiosyncrasies, such as playing with restricted mileage. My rate included unlimited mileage. The office I went to, does indeed accept credit cards.Cons:
Car was attacked by a mob of street dogs in Chile. In the future will yell loudly at them. They can be quite vicious and cause serious damage to the car, especially anything that can be pulled off. The spinning wheels seem to set them off. Car rental in Argentina is considerably more expensive than any other place I have been to, yet Bariloche is in fact one of the cheaper places to rent in Argentina, and is anywhere from 60/100% more expensive than Chile. By North American standards, rates, deductibles are extremely high, with a lot of questionable practises not up to international standard. It is gratifying to note that Hertz Argentina by and large keeps to international standards.Europcar
