What Should I Do If I Get Into an Accident with My Rental Car in Argentina?
If you have an accident in your MDZ rental, first ensure everyone's safety and call the police (911). Document the scene with photos and exchange information with the other party. Do not admit fault. Contact your car rental company's emergency line immediately to report the incident and follow their specific instructions for filing a report and handling repairs.
عرض التفاصيل
What Should I Know About Refueling My Rental Car in Argentina?
Most rental cars from MDZ use 'Nafta Super' (unleaded 95). Always confirm the correct fuel type for your vehicle. Gas stations ('estaciones de servicio') are often full-service, and a small tip for the attendant is customary. To avoid high fees, adhere to the 'full-to-full' policy by returning the car with a full tank. Refuel when possible, as stations can be infrequent outside of major cities.

Renting a car at MDZ is straightforward with major agencies available. Key considerations include mandatory local insurance, potential cross-border fees for Chile, and the benefits of an SUV for winery and mountain routes. Always carry your license, passport, and rental documents while driving. Book in advance for the best rates and availability.

Mendoza Self-Drive Essentials

Everything US travelers need to know about renting cars and hitting the road in Argentina's wine country

Can I drive in Mendoza with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Your US driver's license is valid in Argentina, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. Argentine police often request an IDP for foreign licenses, and your insurance may be invalid without it. Get an IDP from AAA before departure ($20 for English translation). Without an IDP, you risk fines of 1,000-5,000 ARS and potential vehicle seizure.
How do I pay for toll roads in Argentina, and is a transponder worth it?
Most Argentine highways (Rutas Nacionales) charge tolls (peajes) ranging from 200-1,500 ARS per segment, paid in cash (pesos or USD). Transponders like TelePASE are NOT widely compatible with rental cars and require Argentine bank accounts. For a typical Mendoza wine region loop (30-50 km), tolls run about 500-1,200 ARS total. Carry exact change in pesos to avoid hassle.
What's the fuel situation like? Will I have trouble finding gas stations?
Gasoline (nafta) is widely available in Mendoza province, but fill up before heading into wine country or toward the Andes. Stations are sparse on mountain roads (Ruta 7 toward the border). Argentina uses premium unleaded (Nafta Premium, 95 octane) and regular (Nafta Super, 93). Most rentals run on regular. Full-to-full tank policy is standard—return it empty and you'll overpay at predatory counter rates.
I'm planning to drive to Aconcagua or the Andes in winter. Do I need snow chains or winter tires?
Yes, from May-September, snow chains are mandatory on Argentine highways approaching mountain passes (including Ruta 7 to Uspallata). Temperatures drop to -10°C at altitude, and roads can ice over without warning. Many rental companies prohibit taking standard sedans onto mountain routes in winter—opt for an SUV and confirm chains are included. Summer (December-February) is generally safe for all vehicles.
Will I get hit with a 'young driver surcharge' at 23, and what's the minimum age to rent?
Most Argentine rental agencies set the minimum age at 21, but drivers under 25 pay a 'conductor joven' surcharge of 150-300 ARS per day on top of the base rate. This can add 2,000-5,000 ARS to a week-long rental. Some agencies (Hertz, Avis at Mendoza Airport) may refuse to rent to under-23s during high season. Book early and confirm the under-25 policy before you arrive.
Is it safe to drive on Mendoza's wine country roads? Any wildlife hazards?
Mendoza's wine routes (Maipú, Luján, Uco Valley) are generally well-maintained and safe for tourists. The main hazard is wandering wildlife—guanacos, foxes, and rabbits cross rural roads at dawn and dusk. Striking a large animal can total a rental. Drive at reduced speeds outside urban areas, especially on unpaved vineyard roads. Avoid night driving on Route 40 (Ruta 40) as road markings are poor and trucks don't use headlights.
