KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Guayaquil

  • Car rentals in Guayaquil provide safer and easier access to attractions throughout the city. You will also have greater access to nearby suburbs and residential areas in case you are staying outside the downtown area. If you only speak English, the bus or taxi system might be confusing. With a rental car, you will be able to explore at your own pace and reach the suburbs.
  • José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) offers Guayaquil car rentals at counters in the Arrival Hall, the main entrance into the airport terminal. The airport is just outside the downtown area on Avenida de las Américas, so you will have easy access to the city once you pick up your vehicle from the lots, which are within walking distance of the rental area.
  • Roads in Guayaquil can be crowded, but you will be able to navigate them safely and successfully if you stay alert and pay attention to the traffic around you. Use your turn signals early when you need to change lanes and know the route you are going to take before you leave your hotel or residence. If you only speak English, consider learning a few common directional questions in Spanish in case you get lost while you are traveling and need directions from locals.
  • Rush hour in Guayaquil can occur from around 6am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm, with busy roads common throughout the day. Check the traffic before you leave and give yourself extra time if you plan to travel during rush hour. There is a heavy amount of rainfall between January and April, which may slow traffic and cause accidents. If you get caught driving in heavy rainfall, use caution and turn on your headlights.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Guayaquil for ₹ 1,860 or less
  • Small rental cars in Guayaquil are around 33% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Guayaquil

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Guayaquil?

    The recommended car rentals in Guayaquil include compact or economy cars, as the narrow and crowded streets of the city center can be difficult to navigate in a larger vehicle. This will also help you maintain a reasonable gas bill, should you decide to travel further outside the city. If you anticipate driving in a heavy amount of rainfall, such as if you are visiting during the rainy season of an El Niño year, consider renting an intermediate or standard SUV to ensure a higher vantage point as you navigate the city streets. With a better position to see past oncoming headlights and heavy rain, this can make your driving experience safer.

  • What’s the speed limit in Guayaquil?

    In urban regions of Ecuador, the speed limit is consistently 50km/h (30mph). If you are unfamiliar with using the metric system, you would benefit from learning some common conversions before your trip to ensure you understand the speed limits and distances on posted signs. On highways that pass through the city or nearby, the speed limit is 90km/h (55mph). As you reach more rural areas, highway speed limits can increase up to 110km/h (68mph). Always carry your passport, license, and rental car information while you are driving.

  • Where are the best places to park in Guayaquil?

    You should plan to pay for parking throughout downtown Guayaquil, with rates ranging from about $1 to $3 per hour, depending on the time of day and proximity to downtown amenities. You’ll find street parking and many parking lots available at these rates, and you can expect to pay in US Dollars.

Car was old and broke down. We never got a full sized SUV. When they bought the replacement out, they charged me more and it was a standard. They did not give any concessions for the downtime we had all day.

I was quoted a price and paid the insurance online prior to arriving. The agent then tells me the insurance I bought isn't good enough and I had to purchase theirs and they held a $1,000 deposit as well which they charged me $500 for a tiny scratch on the bottom bumper. Worst rental car experience ever I'll never use europcar again

It was ok. But when it was my turn at the counter another client was having problems and the staff was too rude with them to the point to ignore the client. I personally explained them their concern but the staff continued to be rude towards them. I think they don’t have a policy for the guaranty. I called in advance to ask how much it will be and they told me between $200 - $700 but when I was there they asked me for $1500 for an economy and small car. I told me about my phone call and they told me they will “help me” with $1000. Once you are there and need the car you have no more options. The car had a humidity smell… but with the hours stopped.

The price advertised is not the real price when you get there. Every where we travel we can use either our insurance policies or our credit cards insurance benefits. Here they charged us way more money because they denied to accept our insurance. We got the car anyway cause we arrived at the airport at 3:00 in the morning and we’ve been told that it’s dangerous in Ecuador to get cabs.
