Alquilar un coche

Rent a car

Pratique

Significado

To hire a vehicle for a period of time.

🌍

Contexto cultural

Most rental cars are manual. If you can only drive automatic, you must book well in advance. The word 'carro' is used instead of 'coche', and 'rentar' instead of 'alquilar'. Renting a car to drive through Patagonia is common, but distances are huge. Check for 'kilometraje ilimitado' (unlimited mileage). Spanglish often influences this, with 'rentar' being the dominant form due to the English 'rent'.

💡

Check the fuel policy

Always ask if it is 'lleno-lleno' (full-to-full) to avoid extra charges.

⚠️

Manual vs Automatic

In Spain, automatic cars are rare and more expensive. Double-check your booking!
