Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.

  • You'll discover Armas Plaza and many more amazing attractions in Piura. From Arenal, it's about 56 kilometres away.
  • Your next pit stop? Make it Tumbes, which is around 161 kilometres away. Plaza de Armas is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Arenal?
You have to be at least 21. But there are some age-related requirements you should keep in mind before locking in your Arenal wheels. If you're a younger driver, most rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the sorts of cars you're able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Arenal?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find an Arenal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find an Arenal supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
