What types of cars can I rent in Machu Picchu?
Cost-effective, easy to operate and good on mileage, it's little wonder compact cars are the most booked rental category in Machu Picchu. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Machu Picchu?
You need to be at least 21 to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Machu Picchu. Take note that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Machu Picchu?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules may differ between suppliers, so it's a good idea to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Machu Picchu?
Visitors from the U.S. will feel right at home zipping around Machu Picchu — motorists here drive on the right.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Machu Picchu?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a ride that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Machu Picchu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Machu Picchu supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
