Finding Your Rental Car Representative

Meet and Greet Service

Navigate the Airport: Chachoan Airport is a compact, regional facility, which makes it very easy to navigate. Unlike major international hubs, you won't find a large, separate "Rental Car Center" with rows of counters. The process here is much more personal.
Find Your Representative: After deplaning and collecting your luggage from the baggage claim area, proceed into the main arrivals hall. Instead of looking for a branded desk, look for a car rental representative waiting just past the baggage claim exit, holding a sign with either your name or the logo of the car rental company specified on your QEEQ voucher.

Important Note on Operating Hours

The hours for rental services at ATF are almost always tied directly to confirmed flight arrival times. Representatives are not stationed at the airport all day. It is absolutely essential that you verify the specific supplier and their contact information on your QEEQ rental voucher. If your flight is delayed, use the local phone number on your voucher to inform the company of your new arrival time.

Getting Your Keys: The Smooth Pickup Process

Once you've connected with the rental agent, they will guide you through the paperwork and then escort you to your vehicle, which will be parked just outside the terminal building. The process is efficient, but it's crucial to have all your documents ready to go.

Connect with Your Agent
Find your rental representative in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name or the rental company logo.
Complete the Paperwork
Present your required documents and complete the rental agreement with the agent.
Inspect Your Vehicle
Walk around the car with the agent and note any pre-existing scratches, dings, or scuffs on the rental agreement paperwork.
Drive Away
Once paperwork and inspection are complete, you're ready to hit the road and explore Ecuador!

Required Documents

Valid Driver's License

Your valid, unexpired driver's license from the United States.

International Driving Permit (IDP)

Your Passport

Required as a primary form of identification.

Credit Card

The physical credit card used for booking, in the main driver's name, with sufficient funds for the security deposit.

QEEQ Booking Confirmation

Have your voucher ready on your phone or as a printed copy with all vital rental agreement details.

Your Quick Checklist

To ensure everything goes perfectly, keep these key points in mind before and during your pickup.

Key Takeaways

Look for a Person, Not a Place
Expect a "meet and greet" service in the arrivals hall. A representative will be holding a sign with your name or the rental company's logo.
Your Voucher is Key
Double-check your QEEQ voucher before you travel. It has the exact name of your rental supplier and their local phone number, which is critical if your flight is delayed.
Have Documents Ready
Keep your passport, driver's license, IDP, and the credit card used for booking in an easily accessible place.
Inspect Your Vehicle
Before you drive away, walk around the car with the agent and note any pre-existing scratches, dings, or scuffs on the rental agreement paperwork. Taking a few photos with your phone is also a great idea for your own records.
