  • Organize an email Price Drop Alert for your next vacation destination. You never know what sensational bargains will hightail it into your inbox;

  • You can often save yourself some dollars if your plans are flexible. Compare different days and dates and see what savings you can score;
  • Pickup and drop-off times typically need to be the same (e.g, both 10 a.m.) or you may be charged for a whole extra day;

  • Don't let the deal you want slip through your grasp. Book as soon as possible and zoom off with your dream ride.

What is the most popular rental car category in Ecuador?
If all you want is an engine and four wheels, go for an economy car. They're the most booked rental vehicle category in Ecuador. On top of all the standard features, they come with added advantages like fabulous fuel economy and lower rental fees. Slide behind the wheel of one and maneuver around Guayaquil and Quito with ease.Don't limit your adventures to the urban centers. Ecuador offers some dazzling scenery, such as shingle seashores, snowfields, and foothills. A car like a convertible will help you travel around them in style. These rental vehicles are ideal for visitors who'd rather enjoy the views with the top rolled down. Who doesn't love the sensation of the wind in their hair?
Should I get a luxury rental car in Ecuador?
Sometimes the journey is more significant than the destination, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you're about to head off on an epic road trip around Ecuador, a roomy SUV could be the answer. If you're hoping for the cheapest price possible and plan on sticking mostly to the city, an economy car is a smart pick. All you need to do is decide what'll suit you best, round up the troops, and start clocking up those miles.
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Ecuador?
In most cases, your car rental company will charge the amount of the fine to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may forward your contact details to local authorities so they can issue a fine directly to you.
