KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Guayaquil
- Car rentals in Guayaquil provide safer and easier access to attractions throughout the city. You will also have greater access to nearby suburbs and residential areas in case you are staying outside the downtown area. If you only speak English, the bus or taxi system might be confusing. With a rental car, you will be able to explore at your own pace and reach the suburbs.
- José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) offers Guayaquil car rentals at counters in the Arrival Hall, the main entrance into the airport terminal. The airport is just outside the downtown area on Avenida de las Américas, so you will have easy access to the city once you pick up your vehicle from the lots, which are within walking distance of the rental area.
- Roads in Guayaquil can be crowded, but you will be able to navigate them safely and successfully if you stay alert and pay attention to the traffic around you. Use your turn signals early when you need to change lanes and know the route you are going to take before you leave your hotel or residence. If you only speak English, consider learning a few common directional questions in Spanish in case you get lost while you are traveling and need directions from locals.
- Rush hour in Guayaquil can occur from around 6am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm, with busy roads common throughout the day. Check the traffic before you leave and give yourself extra time if you plan to travel during rush hour. There is a heavy amount of rainfall between January and April, which may slow traffic and cause accidents. If you get caught driving in heavy rainfall, use caution and turn on your headlights.

FAQs about hiring a car in Guayaquil
What type of car is recommended for driving in Guayaquil?
The recommended car rentals in Guayaquil include compact or economy cars, as the narrow and crowded streets of the city center can be difficult to navigate in a larger vehicle. This will also help you maintain a reasonable gas bill, should you decide to travel further outside the city. If you anticipate driving in a heavy amount of rainfall, such as if you are visiting during the rainy season of an El Niño year, consider renting an intermediate or standard SUV to ensure a higher vantage point as you navigate the city streets. With a better position to see past oncoming headlights and heavy rain, this can make your driving experience safer.
What’s the speed limit in Guayaquil?
In urban regions of Ecuador, the speed limit is consistently 50km/h (30mph). If you are unfamiliar with using the metric system, you would benefit from learning some common conversions before your trip to ensure you understand the speed limits and distances on posted signs. On highways that pass through the city or nearby, the speed limit is 90km/h (55mph). As you reach more rural areas, highway speed limits can increase up to 110km/h (68mph). Always carry your passport, license, and rental car information while you are driving.

Samuel, Dec 2019
Pros:
Pick up and drop off were easy, the staff was friendly, and the vehicle was fine and as expected.Cons:
The cost of the vehicle ended up roughly doubling what was expected due to: 1.) insurance coverage - granted I get that.. 2.) The limit on the number of kilometers you could drive for free.. this wasn't clear at all on the reservation - likely buried in the fine print somewhere. I had to purchase unlimited kilometers as an extra thing, which I think is kind of ridiculous..1.9 Poor
