RS AVTO car rental FAQ
A foreign driving licence, Russian ones included, is accepted for rental while you are in Argentina as a tourist for up to 3 months; if you stay longer than 3 months or if you live in Argentina, you need an Argentine licence.
Is RS AVTO an official rental company?
Yes. RS AVTO is CARGO MOBILITY SRL (CUIT 30-71948471-5). Every rental comes with a written contract, and the cars are insured.
Can I rent a car in Buenos Aires without a credit card?
Yes: instead of a credit card hold, RS AVTO takes a refundable deposit from US$500 at pick-up, depending on the car. Deposit by car: US$500 for Gol, Yaris, Prius, Polo, Pulse and Renegade; US$700 for Corolla, Innova, Spin and Ranger; US$1,000 for Hilux, Corolla Cross, Territory and Land Cruiser Prado; US$1,500 for Hiace. Most of the deposit is returned when you drop off the car, the rest after the traffic-fine check.
How much does it cost per day?
From US$35 per day for a VW Gol on a monthly rental and from US$45 per day for a Toyota Prius or Yaris on a rental of 30+ days. Short rentals cost more: a Prius or Yaris is US$65 per day for 3 days, the minimum rental. Prices are in US dollars.
What is included in the price?
Comprehensive insurance (in case of an incident you pay no more than the deductible), delivery and return within the city (CABA), a child seat and a second driver. The car comes with a full tank — please return it full. Tolls and parking are paid separately. In case of an accident or breakdown, call us first — we will tell you what to do next. The cars have a toll transponder, so you skip the toll queues.
What documents do I need?
A passport and a driving licence held for at least 3 years. The minimum driver age is 23.
How do I pay?
By credit or debit card, or in cash — a credit card is not required. The online booking prepayment can be paid by card via a payment link from the manager (Mercado Pago or Getnet) or in USDT. The deposit (from US$500, depending on the car) is paid at pick-up, in cash or by card. Currencies: USD, EUR, USDT, RUB and ARS.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pick-up.
Is there a mileage limit?
300 km per day, added up over the whole rental: 10 days give you 3,000 km to use as you like. Extra mileage is US$0.33 per km over the limit.
Can you deliver the car to the airport?
Yes: Aeroparque Jorge Newbery — US$50, Ezeiza — US$100. Delivery within the city (CABA) is free.
Where can I drive the car?
Yes: Uruguay and Brazil, and Chile with some of the cars. Any trip abroad must be agreed with us in advance, before you book. The cars are meant for public paved roads; for gravel roads (ripio) choose the 4×4 crossover.
Which languages do you speak?
English, Spanish and Russian.
Can I rent a car in Buenos Aires and drive to Uruguay?
Yes: Uruguay and Brazil are allowed, and Chile with some of the cars. Any trip abroad must be agreed with RS AVTO before you book.
