Car rental Neuquén Province

In Argentina, we drive on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to what you're used to in the UK. Remember to stay alert, especially at junctions, and get comfortable with your vehicle before hitting the open road.

Speed Limits and Traffic Rules

The general speed limit in urban areas is 40-60km/h, while on rural roads and highways it ranges from 80-130km/h. Seatbelts must be worn at all times and using a mobile phone while driving is strictly prohibited. Unlike in the UK, priority is given to the right side at intersections unless otherwise signposted.

Road Trips and Attractions

Neuquén offers some of the most captivating drives in Argentina, with panoramas of snow-peaked mountains, lakes and ancient forests that unfurl as you meander its routes.

The Seven Lakes Route

An absolute must-drive route goes from Villa La Angostura to San Martin de los Andes, passing by seven remarkably beautiful lakes. A rental car gives you the freedom to explore these vistas at your own pace.

Dinosaur Discovery

A journey to Neuquén wouldn't be complete without visiting the Dino Project at the Museum of Paleontology.

Currency and Culture

Although credit cards are widely accepted, carrying some Argentine Peso might be handy for parking and smaller establishments. Be prepared for the siesta culture where businesses close in the afternoon, similarly to Spain, but very unlike most parts of Britain.

The Argentinean Weather

The weather in Neuquén can vary greatly due to the vast landscapes, from the hot arid deserts to the cold Andean peaks. Pack for a variety of conditions no matter when you travel.

Car Class Recommendation

For buzzing around the city, a compact car will serve your needs. However, an SUV is recommended if you plan on taking the scenic routes to enjoy Neuquén's impressive landscape.

Embrace the thrilling journey that awaits you in Neuquén, Argentina, and relish the freedom a rental car affords you. Forge your own path, and marvel at the beauty of this uniquely varied province.
