Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Papaplaya car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans change. That's why we give your money back on the majority of prepaid reservations if you advise us at least six hours prior to the pickup time. Don't forget to double-check your rental agreement — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Papaplaya?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top choice for many visitors to Papaplaya. With excellent mileage and easy handling and parking, they're perfect for travelling around the city. A compact car is roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a little extra style and comfort. Want something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Papaplaya?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and above can rent a car in Papaplaya. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Papaplaya?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Papaplaya?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Peru — the same side as in the U.S. Driving around Papaplaya won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Papaplaya?
Yes, and you can find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll show you terrific offers from various trustworthy suppliers.
Where can I find a Papaplaya car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Papaplaya outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
