Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Guayaquil including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on April 19, 2024.
  • Car rentals in Guayaquil are ideal for exploring the Ecuadorian port city and surrounding areas. It’s a more convenient travel option, especially if you have more luggage, and you can travel to various places with limited access to public transportation. Guayaquil has several popular attractions and destinations to explore with your rental car. You can drive to Machalilla National Park, home to diverse ecosystems, including dry forests, beaches, and the famous Isla de la Plata, or head to Salinas, a popular beach resort town on the Pacific coast.
  • If you’re visiting Guayaquil, you’ll fly into José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE), approximately 3.1 miles from the port city. Different car rental agencies are available onsite, including Avis, Enterprise, Localiza, Budget, Thrifty, and Hertz. The car rental counters are in the Arrivals Hall, Ground Floor. Opening schedules vary per agency on weekdays and weekends. The drive to downtown Guayaquil from the airport is about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the traffic. Follow the signs for Avenida de las Américas, the main road to downtown Guayaquil.
  • Road conditions in Guayaquil vary widely. Primary roads in the city are well-maintained, while others are in a sorry state, especially in residential areas and on side streets. Driving in Guayaquil can be easy and challenging at the same time. You’ll encounter high human and motorized traffic in the city center. Some sections of the port city have narrow streets, so drive cautiously through these areas. Slow down as you drive through the city center, and watch out for pedestrians.
