Renting a Vehicle

As a means of transportation within and just outside the gates of Buenaventura, you will need a rental car during your stay. We recommend using the National Car Rental in Rio Hato. Located within the same shopping center as the Super 99 grocery store, the location is only minutes from the entrance of Buenaventura. 


IMPORTANT INFORMATION


  • Closes at 5 pm on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. Make sure to double-check your arrival time if you're arriving from the US on Saturday, to ensure you can make the pick-up time. Occasionally, Judith (our concierge) can arrange for an employee of National Car Rental to wait a few minutes after closing on Saturday afternoon, should you be a few minutes late, but this is NOT a guarantee. 
  • If you arrive after office hours on Saturday, you will have to pick-up the car on Monday. National does offer a pick-up service and will be happy to come to Casa Teca to pick you up. 
  • National will also pick up the car from Casa Teca at the end of your stay.

Driving direct from PTY Airport

Although there are plenty of rental car options to choose from at the PTY Airport, unless you are very familiar with driving in a foreign country, we discourage you from doing so. 


If you are considering renting a vehicle from the airport, please give us a call before you do, so we can discuss some of the differences and things you will want to be made aware of.
