Car rental Mendoza Province

The Mendoza Province, nestled on the eastern side of the majestic Andes, is Argentina's premier wine region and an adventurer’s paradise. Whether you relish the adrenaline thrill of white-water rafting or prefer to unwind by exploring vineyards or admiring the stunning landscapes, Mendoza is the place for you.

Driving in Mendoza Province

Understanding the Road Networks

Traveling through Mendoza Province comes with its challenges. Unlike the orderly grids familiar to most Brits, the city’s streets often have irregular intersections, making navigation a bit tricky. Hence, it might be best to use a GPS.

Priority on the Roads

Do note that unlike the UK where the right-hand side has right of way, it's the opposite in Argentina. This 'Prioridad a la derecha' rule gives priority to traffic approaching from the right.

Speed Limits

Urban areas generally have a speed limit of 40-60 km/h, while non-urban roads have limits of 100-130 km/h. Do watch out for local signs, though, as these can vary.

Choosing the Right Mietwagen

A compact class car is a great option for city tours, particularly if parking is an issue. However, if you plan to venture out into the countryside, a 4X4 could better handle the rugged terrains.

Exploring Mendoza's Treasures

The Wine Routes

No visit to Mendoza is complete without touring its world-renowned vineyards. Rent a car and take the wine route, visiting vineyards like Catena Zapata and experiencing wine tasting sessions.

Awe-Inspiring Landscapes

The province boasts stunning landscapes, dominated by the snow-capped Andean range. Mt. Aconcagua, the highest peak outside Asia, is a favorite among trekkers and can be accessed by car.

Experience the Argentine Culture and Cuisine

From the traditional Argentine barbecue, Asado, to the dance of passion, Tango, Mendoza offers a rich cultural experience to immerse yourself in.

Wrapping Up

With unparalleled landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and unforgettable wine tasting tours, a trip to Mendoza Province, navigated at your own pace with a rental car, promises to be a trip of a lifetime. Happy travels!
