KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in David

  • You should consider renting a vehicle from one of the car rentals in David if you are planning to take an extensive tour of the town. This is because, moving from one attraction to another with a rental car is relatively more convenient and comfortable than using public transport. Also, you can decide to take road trips to towns neighboring David, such as Quiteno, Bagala, Alanje, Mata del Nance, and Los Algarrobos. Reaching these towns with a rental car will be faster than boarding a bus, which is likely to make many stops along the way.
  • Flights to David are received at Enrique Malek Airport (DAV). Several car rentals in David have locations at this airport, which saves you the hassle of finding a car once you land. Agencies for rentals, such as Budget, Alamo, Avis, Thrifty, Sixt, Dollar, and National, are conveniently located at the airport terminal. Although the counters for the David car rental agencies are in different locations, you will not need a shuttle to access them.
  • Driving around David is quite easy, as the major roads are properly maintained and free of potholes. However, you should be alert when driving on the mountainous stretches of road between David and Almirante, as it can be dangerous when going around bends. Also, be on the lookout for pedestrians, as it is not uncommon for them to cross the road without a proper assessment.
  • Like many big cities, traffic in David may be tight during rush hour, which is typically when people are traveling to and from work. The first wave of traffic occurs in the early morning between 6:00 am and 9:00 pm, and the second wave in the evening between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm. The first wave affects roads heading into the CBD, while the second wave mostly affects roads that head into the neighborhoods.
  • Book your car hire in David at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in David are around 36% cheaper than other car types, on average

Dave, Feb 2025

BUYER BEWARE! Although my car insurance covers rentals as well as my credit card, I bought the daily insurance through Kayak since I read that it covers anything my insurance doesn’t. I was told on my itinerary that I would only have to pay for the daily car rate at the counter. LIES! I had to purchase ANOTHER insurance plan at the counter for some “third party” cr*p. So my rental cost me FOUR times what I was offered online through Kayak. NEVER AGAIN.

Pros:

The staff wasn't helpful and we asked for a refund before even renting the car.

Cons:

The information on their website is inaccurate and misleading.
