  • Make sure you have the necessary documents when you get to the rental counter. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds for the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • If you've never driven in Colombia, be aware that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.

  • Make sure you stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 95kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • In Colombia, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to drink, get someone else to do the driving or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.
