If you stay in Cartegena, this kind of car is perfect. It’s a small car and streets here tend to be very narrow. Especially in the old part of the city.

Verified travelerSept 2023

Driving is rough here but I'm use to this style of Driving as I've driven in many countries like this. Im a very experienced driver in 3rd world countries. Not for everyone.

Verified travelerJul 2023

My major recommendation for driving in Cartagena is to be patient! If you take your time and allow the area to guide you on the road and through Old City, you will find a pleasant Automotive sightseeing Journey, without ever having to leave your vehicle. Do not let personal indiscretions interfere with your curiosity to explore Cartagena. Alamo gives you a wonderful opportunity to have a proper fitting car, that is respective to the roadway and navigating throughout Old City. Again I stress, have patience on the roadway and you'll be fine!

Perhaps the best reason to rent a car during your time in Cartagena is the fact that they offer the most efficient means of getting from place to place. This is particularly the case if you want to enjoy some time at the beach. For example, Playa Blanca is just 28.7 km (17.8 miles) away from Cartagena and is a quick and simple trip via car.
Planning to rent a vehicle during your time in Cartagena? For travelers whose flights are landing at Rafael Núñez International Airport, the hire car desks are located in the National Arrivals Hall.
It is very common for pedestrians to jaywalk in Cartagena, especially on smaller urban streets and in residential areas. Drivers should make sure to keep their eyes open for jaywalkers, particularly when traffic is moving slowly or when you are in a popular section of town with many pedestrians around. This applies doubly to the old colonial area, as it is one of the tourism hubs in the city.
Rush hour in Cartagena is moderately serious, especially in central areas of the city. Typically, drivers can expect the morning rush hour to go from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. most mornings, and for the afternoon rush hour to start up shortly after 4:00 p.m. and cool down by around 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. 90A is one of the main roads to dodge during rush hour, especially around Chino, as it can become quite congested and backed up with traffic.

My experience with Alamo was absolutely terrible. When I arrived to pick up my rental car, I was informed that they had given it away to someone else, despite my confirmed reservation. The representative was rude, unprofessional, and showed no regard for proper business practices. When I explained that I had a valid reservation, he dismissively told me I should have contacted them in advance. However, my reservation clearly stated that no additional confirmation was required. Even after showing him the proof, he simply shrugged and said, “I gave the car away—nothing I can do.” His attitude was completely unacceptable, demonstrating a total lack of customer service and accountability. This was an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience.

When arrived to Cartagena they just told me they didn’t have any vehicles available, recommended me another local rent company and I ended up paying more for a smaller and different vehicle than the one I initially reserved. On top of that, I had to pay for a new cover and the company that initially was covering (Rentalcover.com), don’t have any customer service and there’s no way to obtain a refund for that service that they never provided. I would definitely not recommend Alamo or Rentalcover.com, one sucks and the other one is a total scam.
