Valid Driving Documentation: Ensure you have a valid driving license from your home country, and if it's not in Spanish, bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) as well. These documents, along with your passport and rental agreement, should be with you at all times when driving.
Understand Local Driving Laws: In Uruguay, you drive on the right-hand side of the road. Be aware of local driving customs and laws, such as speed limits, which are strictly enforced, and the requirement to have headlights on even during the day on national roads. Also, the use of seat belts is mandatory for all passengers.
Select the Appropriate Vehicle: Consider your travel plans when selecting a rental car. If you're planning to stay mostly in cities like Montevideo or Punta del Este, a compact car might be more convenient. For rural areas or if you're planning to explore the countryside, a vehicle with higher clearance or 4WD could be better suited to the terrain.
Insurance Coverage: Check the details of the insurance provided with your rental car. In Uruguay, it's advisable to have comprehensive coverage that includes third-party liability, theft, and damage. Make sure to understand your liability in the event of an accident and whether there's a deductible.
Inspect the Vehicle and Plan Your Route: Before leaving the rental agency, thoroughly inspect the vehicle for any existing damage and ensure it's documented to avoid any disputes when returning the car. Familiarize yourself with the vehicle's features, especially if you're not used to driving a car with manual transmission, which is more common in Uruguay. Plan your route ahead of time, particularly if you're travelling to more remote areas, as GPS signals can be unreliable. Also, consider downloading offline maps or purchasing a local SIM card for navigation.
