Driving Your Car Hire in Ecuador

  • Drivers must be a minimum of 19 years old to rent a car in Ecuador with Sixt.

  • The national speed limit is 55mph which lowers to 30 mph in urban areas.

Travelling Around Ecuador in Your Car Rental

  • Drive Ecuador's Spondylus Route hugging shimmering Pacific coast stretching 530 miles from the Esmeraldas in the north to nudge the Peruvian border. Explore the archaeology of Educador's pre-Columbian cultures, the shrimping village of Pedernales and chilled beach resorts. The road is an official tourist route so it's well maintained.
  • Slide straight from the seat of your cushioned rental car into an Andean adventure. Wind your way between the lush jutting Andes and stumble upon tucked-away villages and breath-taking vistas.
  • Quito Old Town is the capital of Ecuador and teeming with bedecked market stalls and steamy bars. Pose in front of 17th century facades and mingle with the locals in the heart of the Old Town, where handsome churches run into sun-kissed plazas.

We rented a Peugeot sedan for 7 days in Quito. The car was immaculate, in excellent condition, we drove about 400 mi around Quito and to Mindo. The car performed very well. The whole process renting and returning the car went very smoothly and Fernando checked us in and out. Very professional and well-informed. We did end up adding a day and that went smoothly as well.
