How can I get a cheap car rental in Santa Elena?

  • Use our clever filter tool to help steer you in the direction of the hottest car deals around — and then compare the prices;
  • Take advantage of our Price Drop Alert and stay up to date when prices fall for your location;
  • Search both airport and non-airport pickup office locations to be sure you're scoring the cheapest offer in town;
  • If you have some elbow room in your schedule, adjust your dates to find better prices on different days of the week;
  • See if you can keep your pickup and drop-off times the same. If you bring back your car at a later time than you picked it up, you might have to pay for an entire extra day;

  • The early bird catches the biggest worm, and also the hottest deals! Book as soon as possible to drive off with some great savings.

What is the most popular rental car category in Santa Elena?
It's always a nice idea to head out of the city, and if you do, you'll be richly rewarded. With shingle seashores, snowfields, and foothills to marvel at, Santa Elena offers plenty of day trip opportunities. A bigger vehicle like an SUV or a four-wheel drive will give you and your passengers more room for those longer scenic drives.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Santa Elena?
You'll be happy to hear that there's a great range of both high-end and economy rental vehicles on offer in Santa Elena. What you go for is largely dependent on how much you're willing to spend and what you're planning to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not grab a high-end SUV, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need something to get you around town as economically as possible, stick with an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).
What happens if I get a speeding fine while driving a rental car in Ecuador?
Generally, your rental company will bill the amount fined to your credit card. Alternatively, the company may share your contact information with the relevant local law enforcement agency so they can issue a fine straight to you.
