KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in San Salvador

  • San Salvador is a large city and contains a dense population and crowded streets. If you choose to travel via public transportation, you will miss out on some of the area's most popular activities and scenery. With a rental car in San Salvador, you can reach places outside of the city like the beautiful Lake Llopango or the impressive rock formation La Puerta del Diablo (the Devil's Door). Other stunning vistas, volcanoes, and national parks are within a short driving distance of the city's outskirts. Be sure to keep your options open by renting a car when you visit San Salvador.
  • Travelers should head to the terminal's eastern side inside the El Salvador International Airport for their car rentals in San Salvador. The car rental counters are located near the Delta and American Airlines counters. Many of the common car rental companies are represented at the El Salvador International Airport, including Budget, Alamo, Avis, and Enterprise. It is a good idea to get your San Salvador car rental at the airport because the airport is a 40min drive from San Salvador itself.
  • Driving in San Salvador is very similar to driving in North America. Drivers drive on the right side of the road, seatbelts are required, and phone use while driving is prohibited. The city often has lots of traffic, not just during rush hour. However, during the hours of around 6am to 9:30am, traffic can slow to a crawl. The same can be said in the late afternoon and evening. The most congested areas are near the city center, which generally has lots of traffic—visitors should expect delays when traveling here.
  • One element of driving in San Salvador that should be noted is that the city does not always warn of speed bumps. Drivers should be cautious that they do not hit a speed bump in the road that can damage the rental car. At times, San Salvador can have wet conditions, and drivers should make sure to drive safely during storms. However, San Salvador's streets are well-maintained, and traffic laws are simple to adhere to and follow.
  • Small rental cars in San Salvador are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in San Salvador

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in San Salvador?

    The type of car visitors choose for their trip depends entirely on the purpose of the visit and the group's size. However, San Salvador is known for its traffic, and therefore, we recommend smaller vehicles for whatever your group size. The smaller the car, the easier it will be to weave in and out of traffic, and you will have less stress from any congestion on the roads. Whatever the reason for your visit, look for a smaller vehicle to meet your needs.

  • What’s the speed limit in San Salvador?

    Drivers can trust that in El Salvador, the speed limits will be roughly 25 to 35mph in the city and 55 to 70mph on the major roadways and freeways. However, drivers should be aware that El Salvador uses the metric system, and speed limits will be in kilometers per hour. The most common speed limits will be around 40km/h and 90km/h, roughly 25 and 55mph, respectively.

  • Where are the best places to park in San Salvador?

    Parking in San Salvador can be a challenge. You should plan where you will be able to park your vehicle ahead of time. Many locations provide parking, including hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions.

The Hyundai they gave us was not a new model, and it’s battery died after three days. Alamo responded by bringing us a Nissan Kick replacement, but it took more than two hours to get it to us. Aside from that, the staff were friendly and helpful.

The entire process was quick and easy! A driver picked us up at the airport in a shuttle and took us to where they store the cars. The car was clean and in excellent shape. The guy who gave us the car gave us all the essential information. I got exactly what I reserved. The return process was also quick and easy. 10/10.

The do not honor their quotes and try to charge you more for insurance. I brought my certificate of insurance form my credit card. They did not even want to look at it. They are scammers. I went somewhere else got a nice car for less.

We made reservations for our family trip. A few days before they decided to let us know they decided to take a whole week off for Easter vacation. 🙄 Who does that in the travel industry?! Anyway, told us they would switch our reservation to the airport. Thought that would be ok and thought we'd have our original reservation honored for what we paid. Landed at the airport, went to Budget, and they not only didn't honor our reservation, they also were trying to make us pay TRIPLE the amount of money we paid! Are you kidding!! YOU CHANGED OUR PLANS AND NOT HONOR THR PRICE!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Ruined the start of our vacation. Do not go with them! How ironic they take a week off for a religious holiday but don't hold up to the values. If I were everyone, I'd not go with them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ After wasting some time on our vacation, we found another car company who took better care of us. I don't recommend Budget at all.

They pulled some tricks that I don’t appreciate. First, they didn’t have the car category I booked. Unprofessional, but turned out to be not a big deal. Then, they didn’t accept the third party Kayak RentalCover coverage, so I had to pay twice as much to get their coverage. Last, they made me place a credit card hold of over $1000. This is unheard of. If I didn’t buy their insurance and stuck with my third party, it would have been an hold of *over $10,000.* Yes, seriously. The car ran well, was clean, and otherwise check-in and check out was fine. I will not be using Europcar again.

I was told I HAVE to get the premium insurance otherwise my deposit would be $26,000!!The receptionist kept on showing us in Spanish, I asked to have it shown in English, she did. And I was able to select no insurance, but it needed managers passcode. So I clicked back, and selected the lowest coverage and it was allowing me to choose how much deposit, $5000! At the return, they charged me $0.01 to release my deposit, which still has not been release. The car itself was comfortable, the people on the other hand, I feel they are shady.
