- What it's really like driving in Argentina
We finally made our last video in our Argentina series! It’s been a long time coming but in this video we answer all your questions about hire/rental cars in Argentina. We have driven in quite a few different areas of the country during our tour in 2022 and we know the size of the country and driving at altitude can be daunting.
We hope this video helps to answer any concerns you have and helps you to make the right choice for your travels. It’s not all been smooth but it’s certainly an incredible adventure!
Thank you for watching and if there’s anything we didn’t cover, drop a line in the comments and we’ll reply, we read them all!
Join us next time as we leave Argentina and arrive in our second country of our South American tour, we start by exploring the capital city Santiago in Chile.

A British couple from just outside London, England. We got married in 2018 and decided instead of a honeymoon we’d travel the world together. We saved money and travel points, quit our jobs, rented our house out and boarded a one way flight in 2020. We started this TH-cam channel to share our experiences with friends, family and anyone who plans to travel to the places we’re visiting. We leave TKT tips/facts in our vlogs and blogs to give information that we wish we’d had before visiting. We hope you find our content fun & useful :)

Thank you so much to all of you for watching and supporting our channel! We’ve had an incredible time in Argentina and hope that our 40+ videos of our travels can help you to plan your way around.
Join us as we continue our travels throughout South America! 👍🏼😍
April is a good time?
@@dudyteitlebaum1169 it was a great time of year, not too hot or cold.
Just got home from five weeks in Argentina. We used your videos as my framework. With the exception of the glacier I’m pretty sure I did even more than you. Thanks for all your help. I left salta in a rental to travel on route 40 and went down to San Miguel in the Tucuman province before turning around and heading back up and it was an amazing part of the trip. After BA I went to Montevideo for a week and then flew north to Panama for a week before making my way back to the states. I found those two last stops were a great way to end the trip
Thanks for all the help.
Wow, that sounds great! We’re so glad you had an awesome trip and that you found our videos helpful. It’s such a beautiful country! We still have a lot more to share from the rest of South America coming up! ☺️
P.s. Next time you need to put Perito Moreno on your list! 😉
Craig likes driving, like me. And in Argentina, correct side of the road! Lol…I’d be so lost driving in Britain!
Argentina is like New Jersey. All full service gas stations. Until last year, it had been decades since I’d ever seen a fuel attendant!
Britain is particularly tricky with the small roads, it might be the reason we find everywhere manageable! You’d adjust to the left within a few days but it’s confusing when you get back home to switch again 😅
Well done guys. Best of luck to you both.
Thank you, best of luck to you too!
Fantastic advice as always 👍
Awesome video guys, greetings
Thank you ☺️
I am British married to an Argentinian girl for 20 yrs … never been further than BA, Santa Fe, Cordoba …. We pledge to explore! Thanks.
How lovely, you’ll have the best time exploring the country it’s incredible!
We have rented cars in Costa Rica and a few Caribbean Islands. Thankfully Skylar is willing to drive on the other side of the road and on pretty treacherous roads.
You've shared some really great tips for hiring a car in any destination ...along with some very specific to Argentina.
Skylar also does the video walk around...just in case 😆 Downloading maps has saved us several times!
We have done some crazy drives that we’d have never managed without the help of offline maps, they’re so good!
As Brits we have had to accept that we’ll often have to drive on the other side as it seems most countries drive on the right, great that Skylar is up for the challenge too ☺️
@@TideKnotTravellers offline maps are so worth the time it takes to download for sure!
You two sure have been on some crazy drives, but they have taken you to some absolutely incredible destinations.
Thanks guys !you great
Thank you so much! 😊
I’m Argentinian my wife is English we moving back to Argentina soon your videos are great , help my Sue to make her mind up , next time you can come to mar del plata to visit us !❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To date we've only ever rented cars in Canada and the US. I don't think I'd be able to drive on the other side of the road - I'd be too nervous. But my husband probably would be fine. The roads there look rather dodgy in areas - but I can see the benefit of driving on your own. I also would be soo impatient haha. Good tip on downloading your maps too.
You’d be fine in Argentina/South America as they drive on the right too, but yes some of the terrain is pretty nuts 😄
They have taken roads where I would not put my car, for those who like adventure go on those roads, and for those who want something quieter there are also asphalt roads.
Hello there, I watched your Argentina and Patagonia videos, and you are amazing, very helpful. Can I book tour with local operators while I am there or I should book before I go. Really appreciate your answer.
Hello, thank you so much. Would recommend to book when you’re there as there are so many in the main square plus you can negotiate and pay in cash to save some money. Hope you have a great trip!
Hi you two, very helpful video ! For how long did you rent the car and was it easy to pay in cash ? Also can you recommend a car rental in Bariloche ?
We only rented a car for a day or two in each city as prices are high. Yes it’s easy to pay in cash, everywhere expects and accepts cash in Argentina. We show the hire car place in the first few minutes of this video: th-cam.com/video/wl9Dx_i0P0Y/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dmKrZ73zKqZo33XZ they were great. We walked around to half a dozen different car hire places and went back to this one.
Great video thanks. I'm trying to get my brother to do a road trip round Argentina. What's the attitude to Brits like there? I wasn't thinking to driving about flying a Union Jack but still, its a worry.
We actually felt very welcome all across Argentina, we were a little worried as we were walking through Cordoba and seeing all the 40 years since Isla Malvinas (Faulkand Islands) signs and many statues depicting that time. We thought maybe some might hold a grudge towards Brits but everyone we met seemed welcoming and so friendly. I think the govt narrative is maybe quite different to the people who seem very forward thinking and treat people on an individual basis, at least in our experience.
did the rate you quoted include insurance? Would you drive or can you drive to Tierra del Fuego. I love to drive as well. thanks!
The rate we quoted was just for the hire, we didn’t take out the extra insurance because we have cover through our travel insurance (also car hire is already so expensive in Argentina)
It is possible to drive to TDF however it is not straightforward or very affordable, we looked into it and found flying from Buenos Aires to be more affordable. It is so expensive to hire a car and deliver it back to a different city/region so all of our hire cars in Argentina have been for a day or two and returned to the same place.
In an ideal situation we’d love to have bought a van ourselves and driven around for months 🙌🏼
Hope that helps, are you heading there soon?
thanks for the prompt reply! I hope to go there this February. Was hoping to rent a simple camper van.@@TideKnotTravellers
at 1:12 - can you share the FB and WhatsApp group where the solo travelers have been joining to share the cost of car and get ride?
It’s been a little while now but it’s the main Argentina travel group on FB run by a lady called Erin (that should help you find the right one) we’re not in the whatsapp group anymore but you can ask about it in the FB group and someone should send it to you.
