We focus on quality, not quantity. At Jorge Newbery Airport (AEP), we partner with hand-picked national and local trusted companies. Most car rental desks are conveniently located inside the main terminal building, specifically within Section A2. After completing your paperwork, your vehicle is typically waiting in the dedicated on-site car lot just a short walk outside the terminal. We actively monitor service levels at Aeroparque to ensure a stress-free experience. If a provider's standards drop, we remove them from our site.
We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the "Paris of the South" at your own pace.
Jorge Newbery Airport is the most central arrival point for the capital. With a rental car, you can reach the parks of Palermo or the historic streets of Recoleta in just 10-15 minutes. For a scenic escape, the river delta of Tigre is roughly 40 minutes north. If you wish to venture further, the planned city of La Plata—famous for its stunning cathedral—is just an hour's drive south, all easily accessible via the city’s major highway network.
At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Jorge Newbery Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the city streets, a spacious SUV for a family trip to the fells and outskirts, or a premium vehicle for a comfortable drive along the coast, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
Pick up your car at Jorge Newbery Airport and drop it off in Ezeiza, Córdoba, or Mendoza. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore Argentina’s vast landscape without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your South American road trip.
Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.
Can I rent a car in Buenos Aires if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically start at 21 depending on the car group.
Can I rent a car in Buenos Aires if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Argentina. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain luxury models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.
The shoulder seasons of Spring (September to November) and Autumn (March to May) offer the most pleasant weather and spectacular city blooms. Summer (December to February) is hot and vibrant, while winter (June to August) is milder but perfect for city exploration—if you plan to head further south or into the mountains, your provider will be happy to help you plan for winter conditions.
In Argentina, it is legally mandatory to drive with your headlights on at all times, including during daylight hours. While many roads are free, specific highways around Buenos Aires operate a toll system; we recommend checking your route on arrival and asking your provider for the latest details. Snow chains are often mandatory in mountainous regions during winter or when local authorities indicate. If you plan to travel through mountainous passes, it is important to confirm the specific equipment provided with your rental at the desk. Compliance typically requires carrying approved anti-skid devices such as snow chains; your provider will be happy to help you plan accordingly. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
