Buceo is a little way out of downtown Montevideo, so it’s likely you’ll be doing a fair bit of driving. If you’re going to use Buceo as a starting point to discover the city and its nearby areas, rent a smaller set of wheels. There’s nothing like a mini for maneuvering into those tight downtown parking spots. Alternatively, if you’re moving away from all the hustle and bustle and bright lights, go for something with a larger engine and more room to move. Not many tourists regret splashing out that little bit extra on a full-size or a premium car.

You’ll be glad to know that there’s a huge range of luxury rentals in Buceo. What you go for will depend on what you’re willing to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to indulge yourself, why not pick up an elite SUV, or perhaps a flashy mid-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you just need a car to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, you’re better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t break the bank).

Subject to the time of day, you should be able to find a car spot fairly easily. Some advice — before walking away from your car, take a good look at the signage. The last thing you need is a nasty fine while you’re on vacation!
