About Renting a Car in Argentina

Argentina is a country made for road trips. The legendary Ruta 40 runs nearly 5,000 km along the Andes, from Patagonian glaciers to the northern altiplano. Pick up a car in Buenos Aires and head to the gaucho pampas, drive through Mendoza's vineyards, or explore the prehistoric forests of Patagonia. Distances are vast — but that's the point.
