The city rests on the banks of the glacial Nahuel Huapi Lake and in the shadow of mountains like Cerro Bella Vista, Cerro Otto and Cerro Catedral.

Also known as Teniente Luis Candelaria, the airport has some kiosks, like Avis, Alamo and Europcar, offering San Carlos de Bariloche car hire from the arrivals hall of the terminal building. Companies like Modena, Rentacar and Hertz offer free shuttles from the airport to their hire facilities.
In San Carlos de Bariloche, and indeed in all of Argentina, there are some specific driving rules you must be aware of. You’ll need to obtain an international driver’s licence to be able to hire a vehicle, and you’ll be driving on the right side of the road and overtaking to the left. Once you’re on the road, you must keep your low-beams on at all times, even during the day. Remember to flip the lights off every time you exit the vehicle so you don’t run the battery down. Finally, if you’re bringing the family along, children under the age of 10 must sit in the backseat.
Police checkpoints are relatively common in Argentina. If you’re approaching one, slow down and watch to see if the officer indicates for you to pull over. They don’t stop every vehicle, so take your time, pay attention and only stop if the officer indicates for you to do so. They will want to check your travel documents, ID and insurance papers. So, if you’re planning on arranging car hire in San Carlos de Bariloche, it’s important to have all your documents in order and within reach in the vehicle.

FAQs about renting a car in San Carlos de Bariloche
What type of car is recommended for driving in San Carlos de Bariloche?
Small, economy vehicles are a great choice for car hire in San Carlos de Bariloche. They offer excellent fuel efficiency and are able to handle wet road conditions, making them particularly ideal for autumn and winter travel, as this is when Bariloche gets most of its rainfall. If you’re travelling in a group, bringing a lot of gear or simply wanting a bit of extra oomph to get up the winding track that leads to Cerro Tronador, an SUV might be a more suitable option.
What’s the speed limit in San Carlos de Bariloche?
In Argentina, you’ll find a range of speed limits to suit the traffic conditions. Residential areas like Anagasti and San Francisco have a 40 km/h speed limit. On the more urban streets, like Avenue Exequiel Bustillo, the speed limit is usually 60 km/h, but you must keep an eye out for speed signs and adjust your speed accordingly. On the autopista (highways), you can get up to 100-120 km/h, but once again, this will be dictated by the signs you see along the way.
Where are the best places to park in San Carlos de Bariloche?
You will find on-street parking in San Carlos de Bariloche. However, the city centre is quite compact, so if you’re staying in a hotel like Puerto Pireo or Villa Huinid Hotel Bustillo that offers free, secure parking, it’s often more practical to walk to the local shops and along the waterfront.
