With cheap car hire in Ushuaia, you will have to decide what vehicle is best for you depending on your itinerary. Trips into the mountains may require a car with better handling and power yet will still need to be quite small in size. Choose a sturdy medium-sized 4x4 for more adventure-based days out. If you are remaining local, you will do fine with a small compact car, as most people park on the streets, making smaller definitely better for manoeuvring through winding streets and lanes.

Ushuaia has a slightly higher speed limit than you may be used to, but unless you are comfortable driving on the right-hand side of the road, it is advisable to take it slow until you are confident. When driving in an urban area, you can drive at 70 kph legally. In more suburban areas, you can push it to as much as 110 kph, and when on the motorways, you can drive at 130 kph.

Ushuaian drivers park their cars wherever they can get a spot, and the sides of the roads are fair game. There are some large car parks, such as the Estacionamiento on Int. Jorge Garramuno Avenue, but if you can park at your hotel or daily destination it would be advisable to do so. Alternatively, look for street parking, even if it means parking a block or two from your plans that day.
