KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pereira

  • Pereira makes a great base for exploring western Colombia. By booking car hire in Pereira, you'll be able to visit Manizales in just over an hour and the Los Nevados National Park in around 3 h 20 min. You'll have a lot more options with your own car, particularly as there aren't always public transport connections between cities and other attractions. If you're visiting some of Colombia's most crowded cities, like Bogotá, you may want to park outside the city and then use the public buses inside the city.
  • Matecaña International Airport (PEI) in Pereira is the best option for visiting the city. Most companies offering car hire in Pereira are located in the main terminal adjacent to the Arrivals hall. There are also a few companies located outside the airport. However, they generally offer a shuttle service from the airport to their offices. It generally takes just 15 minutes to drive from the airport to the city centre.
  • If you're planning on making road trips to major cities such as Bogotá or Medellín, be aware of the Pico y Playa rule. Aimed at combating congestion, this scheme restricts vehicles with certain licence plates from entering on particular days. It usually pertains to the final number, so make sure you know your hire car's licence plate. Keep some cash on hand to pay at toll booths, known as "Peajes". Some routes do allow automated passes, but you'll need to check that your vehicle is able to use them.
  • When using car hire in Pereira, Google Maps doesn't always have the most accurate up-to-date information on routes and traffic. Waze is usually a better alternative when driving in Colombia. Generally speaking, it's a good idea to factor in some extra travel time, especially early in the morning. Traffic jams are common in the cities and tend to start early (generally, 06:00 to 08:00 and 15:00 to 20:00). In rural areas, you may encounter poor road surfaces that require slower driving. You'll need to stay aware at all times, with bikes commonly straying outside their lanes. You can also expect pedestrians to cross at any time, even on motorways.
  • Book your car hire in Pereira at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Pereira are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

    The vehicle you choose when booking Pereira car hire will depend on where you plan on spending most of your trip. If you plan on mostly driving in the city or between cities, a smaller vehicle will be best for navigating the busy traffic and one-way streets. If you plan on using your car for travel into more rural areas, then a 4x4 may be more suitable. Bear in mind that driver services are widely available, so you can consider using these for any one-off situations that your vehicle won't fit.

  • What's the speed limit in Pereir?

    In built-up areas, the speed limit in Pereira is usually 50 km/h (about 30 mph), but it can be as low as 30 km/h (roughly 19 mph). Outside cities, it's generally between 90 km/h (around 56 mph) and 120 km/h (roughly 75 mph) on motorways. On other roads, the speed limit generally goes up to 80 km/h (approximately 50 mph). These days there are plenty of cameras around to catch speeding, so stick to the limit and avoid the fines.

  • Where are the best places to park in Pereira?

    You'll find on-street parking and underground car parks throughout Pereira. Generally, parking is not regulated by the local government, so prices will vary. Parking throughout Colombia is generally charged by the minute. You might purchase a ticket from a staff member or from a machine. If you plan on using public transport within the city, it may be best to leave your vehicle at your accommodation.

Was charged to wash the car after drop off, this should be standard protocol and included in any rental, not an additional cost to the customer.

First of all I had a hard time to figure out where was Hertz, since there is no sign and it is under a local rental company that don’t even have a Hertz Sign. Then there is extra fees at time of Pick up. They give you an option to pay for them to clean the car when you drop it off or if you decide to turn it in dirty then the clean up fee is more. Also when I did the reservation, I order an Automatic car and they gave me a a stick shift. When I went inside to tell them they didn’t give me an automatic, they wanted to charge me more which they did. At time of return they came to get the car outside and had a total different contract showing I supposedly rented the car for 1 day and needed to go pay for two more days, Until I showed them the original contract showing that I had rented the car from May 27 till May 30th. Then all of sudden it was ok and I didn’t need to pay for the extra two days. The y tried scamming me to many times and it is not trust worthy. I prefer to pay for the car when I do the reservation to avoid paying extra, like I did. I reserved an automatic car for 3 days for $122.00 but at the end I had to pay a total of $186.00. I did ad full coverage which it was an extra $10.00 a day which it would have been $152.00 but I had to pay $186.00.

Because the UI is so bad (each time I searched, it changed the month), I ended up booking March instead of February (my dates in February corresponded to the same days in March). The Sixt agent told me he didn’t have the car I ordered so he couldn’t change the booking (I have photo evidence of the car being on the Sixt lot), but instead he hired me a small car for one night to get the the hotel and then I came back and picked up a different car that he arranged from another company and had to pay cash. I have contacted Kayak with evidence that the booking was cancellable, but I haven’t been able to contact Sixt through the number on the booking, nor e-mail, nor the website to cancel or even change the booking. Kayak are taking an age to do anything, so I’m reporting the booking charge on my credit card as fraud.

I was forced to take a rental insurance, even though I already have one worth my car insurance company, so they made me pay extra for that (else, they would charge 5k to my credit card). Everything else was OK, but that was really distasteful.
