Winter Exploration

SUV

Built for Snow & Rugged Terrain

Ushuaia's winter brings snow and ice to mountain roads. An SUV with AWD provides the traction and stability needed for safe driving on routes like the RN-3 highway and access to Tierra del Fuego National Park.

المزايا الرئيسية

  • All-wheel drive for icy and snow-covered roads
  • High ground clearance for uneven terrain
  • Spacious interior for cold-weather gear and luggage

ملاحظات مهمّة

  • Book early during winter months (May-August) as SUVs book up quickly

  • Insurance with winter coverage is highly recommended

Adventure & Off-Road

Pickup Truck

Conquer Patagonia's Untamed Trails

For travelers heading to remote areas like Lapataia Bay or the Beagle Channel's less-accessible viewpoints, a pickup truck offers the durability and capability to handle gravel roads and rugged paths that smaller vehicles cannot.

المزايا الرئيسية

  • Heavy-duty suspension for rough gravel roads
  • High payload capacity for outdoor gear
  • Ideal for accessing remote camping and hiking sites

ملاحظات مهمّة

  • Secondary roads may lack signage—download offline maps
  • Fuel stations are sparse outside Ushuaia—fill up before long trips
  • Some roads require 4WD; verify your rental agreement

City & Scenic Touring

  • Fuel-efficient for urban and coastal touring
  • Smooth driving on well-maintained RN-3 highway

ملاحظات مهمّة

What Do I Need to Know About Refueling a Rental Car in Argentina?
When refueling your car from USH, understand the local fuel types like 'Nafta Súper' for standard unleaded. Most gas stations are full-service, so an attendant will pump the fuel for you. While credit cards are accepted in Ushuaia, it's wise to carry Argentine Pesos, especially when traveling to more remote areas. Always confirm your rental's fuel policy, which is typically 'full-to-full'.

Ushuaia Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and car rental FAQs for the world's southernmost city

Can I drive in Ushuaia 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. The IDP serves as an official translation and is often required by rental agencies, especially when your license lacks Spanish text. You'll also need your passport. Get an IDP from AAA before departure—it costs around $20 and is valid for 1 year. Without it, you may face delays or be denied a vehicle.
I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?
Yes, drivers under 25 typically pay a "young driver surcharge" of roughly $15–$25 per day in Argentina. Some agencies set the minimum age at 21, while others require 23–25 for certain vehicle categories like 4x4s or SUVs. Book early and confirm age policies directly with the rental company, as discounts for under-25 drivers are rarely offered.
What are the road conditions like? Do I need snow chains in winter?
Route 3 (Ruta Nacional 3) along the coast is generally well-paved but winding, with steep grades near the city. From May to September (Southern Hemisphere winter), icy patches and snow are common, especially on the RN-3 north of Ushuaia and the RN-40 toward Chile. Snow chains are mandatory on many mountain passes during winter—rental agencies usually provide them, but confirm this at pickup. Rental 4x4 vehicles are highly recommended for winter travel.
Is fuel easy to find? What type of gasoline does Argentina use?
Ushuaia has several gas stations, but fuel options are more limited outside the city. Argentina uses "nafta" (gasoline) and "diesel"—unleaded gasoline (95 octane) is widely available. Gas stations in central Ushuaia are open 24/7, but those on remote stretches of RN-3 may close at night. Fill up before heading to remote areas like Tierra del Fuego National Park. Most stations accept credit cards, but carry some cash as backup.
Are there toll roads near Ushuaia, and how do I pay?
The RN-3 and RN-40 approaching Ushuaia do not have toll booths. However, if you drive toward Punta Arenas, Chile (via the Carabinieri border crossing), the Argentine side is toll-free but Chile has toll booths ("peajes") on the route to Punta Arenas. Carry Chilean pesos or use a card. Within Ushuaia city, most urban roads are free, though some downtown parking areas charge small fees.
What insurance should I buy? Can I rely on my credit card coverage?
Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Argentina—rental agencies include basic coverage, but verify the minimum coverage amount (usually very low, around $30,000–$50,000 USD equivalent). Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) for higher coverage is $10–$20/day extra. Credit card CDW coverage often excludes Argentina or requires you to decline all agency coverage first—check your card's policy. For peace of mind, purchase the agency's full coverage package ($20–$35/day) which typically includes theft, damage, and windows/tyres.
