 Peru Car Rental Mini Guide 

Driving in Peru can be an adventure with diverse terrain ranging from coastal highways to mountainous roads. Road safety varies, so caution is key. Lima, the capital, has congested traffic, while Cusco offers narrow, winding streets. The Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima is the main gateway, with a 30-minute drive to the city center.

For exploring Peru's diverse landscapes, consider renting a sturdy SUV or 4x4 vehicle, especially if you plan to visit the Andes or the Amazon rainforest. In urban areas, smaller cars are more practical due to traffic and limited parking. Always adhere to local traffic rules, and keep in mind that road conditions can change quickly, so it's wise to check the weather and road conditions before embarking on your journey.
