TRAVEL IN ECUADORHere you can find information about how to travel in Ecuador: Rent-a-car - Bus - Taxi - Plane
One possibility to travel in Ecuador is to rent a car. Most of the streets are in good conditions during the whole year and gas is cheap (about 1,10 USD per gallon). But bear in mind that Ecuador´s system of road signs is rather poor. Car rentals can be found in big cities, such as Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca. To rent a car you need an international driving license, a credit card and your passport. Prices for renting cars vary considerably. Prices for renting a car, size of a Renault Scenic, cost about USD 82 per day or USD 532 per week, without driver. These prices include total insurance with unlimited kilometers. Moreover, recommended car rentals have a 24-hour emergency hotline-service and provide you with road maps. Inquiries are welcome and will be transferred to car rentals.
Buses are by far the cheapest and most important means of transport in Ecuador. All cities are connected by public transport, so you can reach all important tourist destinations without problem. Prices for overland journeys are extremely convenient- ranging from 1$ to 10$.
Taxis constitute a good alternative to be used within the city and in its surroundings. However, you should always ensure that the taximeter is turned on, and if not, you should agree the price with the driver in advance.
National flights are also reasonably cheap; you can book directly at the local airports or in the airline offices. Soon you´ll find here main connections, flight-times and prices of TAME, one of Ecuador's largest national airlines, Icaro Express and AeroGal. |
