Prices and availability for Salta come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Salta is the base for Argentina's northwest, and almost everything worth the flight is a drive away: the Quebrada de Humahuaca to the north, the Cuesta del Obispo climbing to Cachi, and the Quebrada de las Conchas down to the vineyards of Cafayate. Tours run these routes, but a car lets you stop at every viewpoint and stay the night in the villages. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices for Salta airport and city pick-ups.

Renting a car in Salta: common questions
Do I need a 4x4 for the Salta region?
For the paved loop to Cafayate and the Humahuaca valley a compact is enough. The Cuesta del Obispo has gravel sections, and Ruta 40 between Cachi and Cafayate is rough gravel with river crossings after summer rain, so a higher car or 4x4 is the sensible choice for that stretch. Check the conditions shown per car about gravel-road use.
When should I visit and how does the altitude affect driving?
April to November is the dry season with clear skies; January and February bring afternoon storms that can wash out gravel roads. Passes to the puna and the Tren a las Nubes road climb above 4,000 metres, so take it slowly, carry water, and expect the engine to feel sluggish up there.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Salta, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
