What our clients say about driving Argentina
Every journey through Argentina brings its own stories. Below are reviews from travellers who collected their vehicles in Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Bariloche, Salta, El Calafate, and Ushuaia during 2026. Each voice reflects a real experience - the gravel of Ruta 40, the climb to mountain passes, the wildlife of the Valdes peninsula, and the practicalities of paperwork, deposits, and final returns.
Collected a Toyota Hilux at Ezeiza and drove straight to El Chalten via Ruta 40. The truck handled every ripio section without hesitation - low range on the climb to Lago del Desierto made all the difference. Contract was clear, damage inspection thorough, and the voucher had all the local contact details. Returned the vehicle in El Calafate with no issues. Highly recommend for Patagonia routes.
Picked up a Renault Duster in Mendoza for a week in the Andes. Drove to Aconcagua park via Ruta 7, then Valle de Uco, then back through Uspallata. The high clearance was essential on the dirt track to Vallecitos. Paid the booking advance online with a debit card, settled the balance at pickup with cash. Staff arranged the Chile crossing permit in advance. Everything as promised.
We reserved a Fiat Cronos for a Buenos Aires to Bariloche road trip with stops in Santa Rosa and Neuquen. The sedan coped well on paved autopistas and the Circuito Chico loop. Booking process was simple, voucher arrived immediately, and the local company delivered the vehicle to our Palermo hotel. Return inspection at Bariloche airport took ten minutes. Very satisfied with the whole arrangement.
Rented a Ford Ranger in El Calafate and drove to Perito Moreno Glacier and up to El Chalten. Truck was solid, tyres good, and the part-time 4WD worked perfectly on washboard gravel. Only minor issue was a long queue at the Ezeiza counter when we landed - took about forty minutes to process everyone. Once on the road, no complaints. Patagonian wind is fierce but that is geography, not the vehicle.
Collected a Volkswagen Amarok at Salta airport and headed straight into Quebrada de las Conchas. Drove to Cafayate, then Cachi, then looped back via Cuesta del Obispo. Ground clearance and torque were vital on unpaved mountain switchbacks. The rental company marked every scratch on the contract so there were no surprises at return. Professional service from start to finish.
Booked a Chevrolet Onix for a coastal trip from Buenos Aires to Pinamar and Mar del Plata. Compact car, good fuel economy, handled Ruta 2 and Ruta 11 without trouble. 4Drive sent the voucher within minutes of payment, and the local supplier was waiting at Aeroparque with keys and documents. Balance paid with a debit card on collection. Smooth experience all round.
Picked up a Toyota SW4 in Puerto Madryn and drove to Peninsula Valdes for whale watching and penguin colonies at Punta Tombo. The SUV had permanent all-wheel drive and plenty of space for camera gear. Gravel roads around Puerto Piramides were no problem. Contract included all excess details and local emergency contacts. Returned the vehicle in Trelew with full marks on the checklist.
Reserved a Nissan Frontier in Ushuaia for exploring Tierra del Fuego National Park and the off-road trails near Lago Fagnano. Pickup truck handled mud, roots, and steep inclines without complaint. Low range engaged cleanly when needed. The voucher specified that balance could be paid by cash or card - we chose cash. Staff checked the vehicle carefully before and after, noted everything in writing. Excellent transparency.
