Car Rental in Mendoza – Local Car Hire Since 2003

You only need:

• To be 18 or older.

• A valid driver’s licence and a national ID, passport or other identification.

• A credit card in your name (VISA, Mastercard, Naranja or another; foreign cards are accepted), for the security deposit.

Every rental includes 200 km per day. If your trip needs more kilometres, contact us before you book so we can quote the right option.

When you pick up the car, we place a hold on your credit card as a security deposit: it is not a charge. The hold is currently ARS 600,000, or ARS 800,000 for the Chevrolet Spin and the VW Amarok. These amounts may change; we confirm them when you book. The hold is released 48 hours after you return the vehicle. If you add the insurance upgrade, the amount is lower.

Don’t worry: you can keep 100% of the amount paid as credit, which can be used for a future reservation.

Read our cancellation policy.

A rental day equals 24 hours starting from the pickup time indicated in the reservation. Our office is open every day from 9 am to 8 pm. Outside those hours, handover is self-service: we leave you the car, the keys and instructions.

Yes. You can arrange 24/7 pickup. The office is open every day from 9 am to 8 pm; for pickup outside those hours, agree the procedure with our team in advance.

You can pay in cash, in Argentine pesos or foreign currency (US dollars and other currencies, at the blue exchange rate); by credit or debit card, including online with Stripe; with Mercado Pago, Prex or Pix (Brazil); by bank transfer from Argentina, Chile, the United States (ACH) or internationally via SWIFT; and with cryptocurrencies: USDT, USDC or Bitcoin. Bank transfer and crypto payments get 5% off the rental. Ask about other digital wallets: we aim to make payment as easy as possible. For the security deposit you need a credit card in your name (it is a hold, not a charge).

Yes. We can deliver the car wherever you prefer and also pick it up at the location you choose, around your schedule. This service has additional charges depending on distance.

Yes. You can use the car outside Mendoza, and every car in the fleet can cross into Chile. The crossing permit costs the equivalent of one rental day.

All our cars are insured: if the car is damaged, you never pay more than the security deposit. You can also upgrade your coverage for a daily fee (currently ARS 20,000), which lowers the deductible and the security deposit from ARS 600,000 to ARS 400,000. For the Chevrolet Spin and the VW Amarok, it goes from ARS 800,000 to ARS 600,000. These amounts may change; we confirm them when you book. The upgrade is optional and gives you extra peace of mind during the rental.

Yes. You can add as many additional drivers as you need, at no cost. Each additional driver must present a valid licence and identification. (Most rental companies charge extra for this; at MDZ it is included.)

Fuel is the customer’s responsibility. We deliver the vehicle with a specific fuel level, and it must be returned with the same amount.

At pickup we review the vehicle together: interior, exterior, dashboard, mileage and fuel level (it must be returned with the same level). You may take photos or record videos during the process, but they are only valid if taken in the presence of our staff.

If the violation is the driver’s responsibility (for example speeding or illegal parking), payment is the renter’s responsibility. If the issue is due to an error on our part (for example a missing fire extinguisher, documentation or valid insurance), we take responsibility.

If we find a forgotten item, we will notify you and store it for 30 days so you can pick it up or send someone to collect it. We do not offer shipping or delivery.
