The minimum rental is 2 days (48 hours). The vehicle is reserved with one day's rental as a deposit and the balance is paid upon delivery to your address within Medellín's metropolitan area.

What payment methods do you accept?

  • To be at least 21 (25 for premium cars; some top-end models require 28 to 30).
  • An original, physical, valid driver's license. A foreign license is valid as long as you have been in Colombia for less than 6 months — the latest entry stamp in your passport is proof enough.
  • A valid ID card or passport.
