Ushuaia Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and car rental FAQs for the world's southernmost city

Can I drive in Ushuaia with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
Your US driver's license is valid in Argentina, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended. The IDP serves as an official translation and is often required by rental agencies, especially when your license lacks Spanish text. You'll also need your passport. Get an IDP from AAA before departure—it costs around $20 and is valid for 1 year. Without it, you may face delays or be denied a vehicle.
I'm 22—will I pay a young driver surcharge, and how much?
Yes, drivers under 25 typically pay a "young driver surcharge" of roughly $15–$25 per day in Argentina. Some agencies set the minimum age at 21, while others require 23–25 for certain vehicle categories like 4x4s or SUVs. Book early and confirm age policies directly with the rental company, as discounts for under-25 drivers are rarely offered.
What are the road conditions like? Do I need snow chains in winter?
Route 3 (Ruta Nacional 3) along the coast is generally well-paved but winding, with steep grades near the city. From May to September (Southern Hemisphere winter), icy patches and snow are common, especially on the RN-3 north of Ushuaia and the RN-40 toward Chile. Snow chains are mandatory on many mountain passes during winter—rental agencies usually provide them, but confirm this at pickup. Rental 4x4 vehicles are highly recommended for winter travel.
Is fuel easy to find? What type of gasoline does Argentina use?
Ushuaia has several gas stations, but fuel options are more limited outside the city. Argentina uses "nafta" (gasoline) and "diesel"—unleaded gasoline (95 octane) is widely available. Gas stations in central Ushuaia are open 24/7, but those on remote stretches of RN-3 may close at night. Fill up before heading to remote areas like Tierra del Fuego National Park. Most stations accept credit cards, but carry some cash as backup.
Are there toll roads near Ushuaia, and how do I pay?
The RN-3 and RN-40 approaching Ushuaia do not have toll booths. However, if you drive toward Punta Arenas, Chile (via the Carabinieri border crossing), the Argentine side is toll-free but Chile has toll booths ("peajes") on the route to Punta Arenas. Carry Chilean pesos or use a card. Within Ushuaia city, most urban roads are free, though some downtown parking areas charge small fees.
What insurance should I buy? Can I rely on my credit card coverage?
Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Argentina—rental agencies include basic coverage, but verify the minimum coverage amount (usually very low, around $30,000–$50,000 USD equivalent). Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) for higher coverage is $10–$20/day extra. Credit card CDW coverage often excludes Argentina or requires you to decline all agency coverage first—check your card's policy. For peace of mind, purchase the agency's full coverage package ($20–$35/day) which typically includes theft, damage, and windows/tyres.
