Córdoba Car Hire & Driving Guide

Essential tips for renting and driving in Argentina's second-largest city

Can I drive in Córdoba with my UK licence, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

UK licence holders can technically drive in Argentina with their full UK licence, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and often required by rental companies. Obtain your IDP from the AA or RAC before departure—it costs around £5.50 and takes a few days. Some rental agencies may also request a certified English translation of your licence. Don't risk being turned away at the counter.

I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much is it?

Yes, drivers under 25 typically face a young driver surcharge of approximately 200–350 ARS per day (roughly £0.15–£0.25 at current rates). This can significantly inflate your rental cost over a week. Some agencies set the minimum age at 23, so always check terms before booking. Budget an extra £10–£20 per day if you're under 25.

How do I pay tolls on the autopistas around Córdoba?

Most toll roads in Córdoba accept cash (Argentine Pesos) and sometimes credit/debit cards at booths. Avoid tolls marked 'Solo Efectivo' (cash only). Carry small denominations as change is often unavailable. Toll costs are modest—expect around 50–150 ARS per segment of highway. Avoid using foreign credit cards at tolls where possible, as汇率 fees apply.

Are the mountain roads around the Sierras de Córdoba safe for自驾游?

The Sierras de Córdoba offer stunning scenery but include winding, narrow mountain roads with hairpin bends. During summer (December–February), occasional flash floods can occur on unpaved sections. In winter, some high-altitude roads near Villa Carlos Paz may require snow chains—check conditions with your rental company. Drive cautiously on Route 38 and the road to Traslasierra Valley, especially after rainfall.

What fuel does my rental car need, and will I find petrol stations easily?

Your rental will likely need nafta (unleaded petrol, typically labelled 'Nafta Super 95' or 'Infinia'). Diesel (gas oil) is also widely available. Petrol stations are plentiful in urban Córdoba but can be sparse in rural mountain areas—always refuel when below half a tank. Argentine fuel prices are government-subsidised and cheaper than the UK, currently around 150–200 ARS per litre.

What happens if I get a traffic fine or need roadside assistance?

Traffic fines are typically issued on-the-spot or sent to the rental company's address. Never pay cash directly to police officers—request an official receipt. For breakdowns, dial 0-800-222-8000 (Automóvil Club Argentino) or use your rental company's emergency number, usually displayed on the windscreen. Keep all documentation and photographs of any damage to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.
