A couple of Saturdays ago, two of my acquaintances and I decided to do a day trip to Punta del Este. The boyfriend of one of them agreed to rent a car and do the driving. He rented the car from ABC car rental and I believe he had to leave a large cash deposit: several hundreds of US dollars.
Apparently, the car was delivered to their address in Pocitos (a respectable residential beach area of Montevideo) on the Friday evening and overnight, someone tried breaking into the car. In the morning, when the vandalism was discovered, the rental company was called and they sent an agent around who drove the car away - minus the front passanger's window - and within a few hours, brought the same car back with the window replaced.
The rental company seemed nonplused about the event and the police were never called. It turned out to be a day of "if it could go wrong, it did go wrong". rental car in los angeles I am told that cars are reted with � tank of gasoline and you are supposed to return it with as much. We got on the toll road, just beyond the airport, and soon found the car's "empty" light flashing. We had to leave the road, after just paying the toll (50 pesos or $2.50) and got the car filled. Instead of taking the highway, we took smaller coastal roads which in itself was an interesting way of seeing the coast and the resort towns along the way: Atl�ntida, Peri�polis, Casa del Pueblo, to name a few.
Then, on the way back, later that day, we took the toll road and we were stopped by a police check. During the day, you're supposed to drive with the headlights on, which we weren't rental car in los angeles doing - there were signs along the road saying as much but everyone but the driver could read Spanish and none of us thought to inform the man behind the wheel. So, yes, useful co-pilots would be a good thing to have along with you. In keeping, during the routine police check it was discovered that in the mayhem of the morning's missfortunes, the rental agreement had been left at home. So, you need to remember to bring that along too. The policeman was obliging and let us go on with not even so much as a scolding.
The highway was beautiful and well maintained. I don't know about B.C. but the freeways in central rental car in los angeles Canada are usually jam-packed with half of the vehicles being 18 wheelers so this road looked virtually deserted in comparison ... except of course when you reach the toll booths. rental car in los angeles There are also occasional traffic lights on the toll road and a lot of collector road activity: motorcycles, bus stops, farm vehicles and people sitting alongside on the verge ... in lawn-chairs, if you will. When the traffic on the highway is the best show in town, that maybe doesn't say a lot for what's going on at home.
I am informed that most of the "Rutas Nacionales" aren't rental car in los angeles quite so splendid rental car in los angeles as the one leading to Punta del Este which might as well have been the yellow brick road to OZ for the city itself, when you arrive, is just as over the top and, in this instance, instead of the Wizard being the main attraction, it was Shakira performing at the Conrad Hotel - "Punta" is also refered to as "the other Uruguay" and it's easy to see why.
The drivers, apart from the motorcyclists, don't seem too crazy and there's rental car in los angeles a certain "flow" to the traffic that once you get accustomed to it, goes along at a respectable pace. Signage is so-so but then there aren't a lot of exits and communities to be brought to your attention and likley the locals know which intersection leads to "Grandma's House".
What does take some getting rental car in los angeles used to, and this seems generalised, even in the city, is the widely varying states of road-worthiness of a lot of the vehicles. I haven't seen the likes since the 1950s in rural SW Ontario: mufflerless contraptions with the doors and fenders held on with duct tape and twine, the ricketiest pick-ups this side of the former Soviet Union and a penchant for hauling all manner of junk, strapped precariously to any intact rental car in los angeles expanse of the chasis. Do you remember the opening sequence to the "Beverly Hillbillies"?
I think you get what you pay for here. I've not had any issues / accidents rental car in los angeles / prangs or overnight rental car in los angeles break-ins either but based on that experience I've not had any problems returning the car on a full tank.
...I used Dollar which has an office very close to the airport and a frequent shuttle rental car in los angeles bus. Prices were very fair for the 'economy' (that i rented). Be warned, if you want an automatic, they can be hard to come by and you pay more!! rental car in los angeles Comment #4
During the year after I had applied for residency rental car in los angeles and my application was "en tramite" I had several pulls by the traffic police. rental car in los angeles Luckily its my habit to cross to Buenos Aires and back on a regular basis to stock up on quality whisky and mild American cigarettes so I never came anywhere near the 6 month limit.
When I took the ferry in February, rental car in los angeles they only had French and mentholated ciggies so I emailed Snr Lopez Mena expressing my disappointment and giving him the date of my next excursion. When I crossed last Thursday there was a small hill of Camel Lights available and when I went to the check-out and spoke to the lad in my broken Espanol he asked me "Are you Snr McDonnell?" I admitted the fact whereupon he told me that Lopez Mena was sorry for the previous lapse and that he had orders to give me a generous discount on the Camels... only 40 U$S for 4 cartons.
rental car in los angeles Thanks Glen and Patrick. We have our flights in place for November and I won't worry about the driver's license since we will only be here for 3 weeks. 2012 will be a longer stay but I will keep the 3/6 month issue in mind for then.
What's rental car in los angeles with the hotels outside Montevideo where they won't respond to emails? Trying to book a hotel for 3 nights in Cerro Colorado, Florida Dept. Is there a special trick in arranging accommodations? Please share. Thanks! Comment #9
I'm a bit confused. My insurer covered me for 12 months for my car with a foreign drivers licence. All I did was fax over a copy of the license rental car in los angeles to them. I hope I'm insured now... Reply options Share your opinions, advice, questions or comments on this post. Be Heard: Forum reply options:
