Car Hire Peru
They say you haven’t seen South America if you didn’t go to Peru. And they’re right. There is no other country in the whole continent that’s virtually bursting of ancient heritage, unique landscapes and kindness in greeting tourists like this one is.
Attractions are so many and diverse you could never get bored. Lima, Trujillo and Arequipa offer a mixed traditional and modern perspective but most of the important visiting sites are located outside of them so going out of these cities is a must. If you’re an ancient history passionate, you must not miss the famous Machu Picchu citadel, the Nazca Lines, the Santa Catalina cathedral or the Cuzco archeological site – labeled the most important archeological site in both North and South America. Locals will generally treat you kindly, not being shy to share their lifestyle and tradition with you. Wild life attractions are too many to count; though not to be missed is the drive up to the Amazon River, the Titicaca Lake and definitely the Arequipa canyons and volcanoes. Overall, the amazing landscapes will not leave your sight at any time, so be prepared to stop and at least take a picture you’ll proudly remember years after.

As all other South American countries, Peru is a developing country and even though its economy is rapidly growing there are some inherent inconsistencies from an infrastructural standpoint. However, the heart of the country can be easily visited by taking the long Panamericana which crosses the whole country from North to South and two other partially paved roads, the Carretera de la Sierra and the Carretera Marginal de la Selva.
There are 5 international airports your can travel to, the most important being, of course, the one in Lima (The Jorge Chavez International Airport). Once arrived, in each of these airports you will find car hire services provided by renowned players in the business. If possible, get an AWD. Why? There are so many places you can explore only by taking steep roads; you’d miss a lot of Peru if you don’t. Prices typically start from $40/day for an economy car and $100/day for an AWD SUV. Keep in mind, that most car hires have manual transmission, so, unless you’re familiar with a clutch pedal, you should strive to find a car equipped with an automatic transmission. As usual, you’re requested to drive up to a certain mileage per day, but here you get around 200 miles for free – more than enough to get you from one attraction to another and back, eventually. Of course, you can exceed this limit by paying a small fee, depending from a company to another. Gas prices are generally around $6.50/gallon.
