KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in La Paz
- Renting cheap car rentals in La Paz has a number of advantages over alternative transportation options. Firstly, it allows for greater flexibility in terms of exploring the city and its surroundings, without having to rely on public transport schedules or routes. Additionally, using La Paz car rentals can be more cost-effective than hiring a taxi or using ride-share services if you plan to visit multiple destinations. Rental cars also enable you to visit places like the nearby Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), the archaeological site of Tiwanaku, the Yungas region, and Lake Titicaca.
- La Paz El Alto International Airport (LPB) is the main airport serving the city of La Paz, Bolivia. The airport is located approximately 7 miles southwest of the city center of La Paz. There are several rental car companies located at the airport, including Avis, Hertz, Europcar, and Localiza. These rental car offices are located in the main terminal of the airport, which is Terminal A. There is no airport shuttle specifically dedicated to the car rental offices, but travelers can easily walk from the airport terminal to the car rental offices located in the same building.
