Unlock the real Northern Argentina

Jujuy Airport is the premier starting point for discovering the high-altitude wonders of the Andes. With a rental car, you can reach the picturesque village of Purmamarca in just over an hour to witness the sunset over the Hill of Seven Colours. For history enthusiasts, the ancient ruins of Tilcara are roughly 90 minutes north. If you seek the surreal landscapes of the salt flats, Salinas Grandes is accessible via a breathtaking drive over the mountains, all easily reachable from the terminal.

One Way Rentals from Jujuy Airport

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.

Driver Age Requirements in Jujuy

Can I rent a car in Jujuy 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 Jujuy if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Argentina. While some providers may have upper age limits for certain models, most standard rentals have no additional fees or restrictions.

What is the best time of year to explore Jujuy by car?

The winter months (June to August) are popular for their clear skies and vibrant festivals, though nights are cold in the fells. Spring (September to November) and Autumn (March to May) offer pleasant temperatures and spectacular light for photography. Summer (December to February) can bring occasional rain, but it is the time of the famous Andean carnivals—your provider will be happy to help you plan accordingly for seasonal conditions.

Essential Tips for Driving in Argentina

In Argentina, it is legally mandatory to drive with your headlights on at all times, including during daylight hours. While routes around Jujuy are generally free, we recommend checking your route on arrival and asking your provider about any specific local tolls, as they will be happy to help. Carrying snow chains is recommended if you plan to travel through high-altitude passes like Cuesta de Lipán during the winter or when local authorities indicate. It is important to confirm the specific equipment provided with your rental at the desk; 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.
