Car hire in Punta del Este offers numerous advantages over alternative transport options. While there are buses and taxis available, public transport may not reach some of the best places to visit, such as Casapueblo and La Barra. By hiring a car from reputable companies, like Avis or Europcar, you'll have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Plus, Punta del Este's unique road system allows for scenic drives along the coastal Route 10. Public transport options can be limited and infrequent, making car hire in Punta del Este the preferred choice for convenience and accessibility.
When considering car hire in Punta del Este, if you have decided to fly in, you'll be landing at Laguna del Sauce Airport (PDP). Once you arrive at the airport, you'll find the car hire desks conveniently located in the Arrivals Hall. Major companies like Budget and Hertz have their counters together on the immediate right-hand side of the Arrivals gates, while others, such as Europcar, have separate locations on the far right-hand side of the terminal. The car park where the car hire vehicles are located is called "Aeroparque Internacional Laguna del Sauce". It's just a short walk from the terminal building, and signs will guide you there.
Driving in Punta del Este offers a positive experience with well-maintained roads and a good road network. However, it's essential to be cautious of pedestrians in bustling areas like Avenida Gorlero and Rambla General Artigas. Cyclists are commonly found along Playa Mansa and Playa Brava.

A unique element of driving here is the scenic coastal route, Rambla Williman, which offers breathtaking views of the ocean while driving. Another driving feature you might encounter is the presence of horse carriages on the roads, adding a touch of charm to the city's atmosphere.
Rush hour in Punta del Este typically occurs between 8:00 to 10:00 and 18:00 to 20:00, with increased traffic on major roads like Avenida Roosevelt and Avenida Italia.

The publication prices are a lie. When I show up to pick up the car, they force me to take out expensive insurance otherwise they won't give me the car. I had to go to another company. Unpresentable liars
