Bogota car rental — FAQ
Booking 2-4 weeks before your trip to Bogota usually gives you the best choice of vehicles and rates, especially around holidays and weekends. For peak travel periods like Christmas, Easter, or major events, it is wise to reserve 6-8 weeks ahead, as popular economy and SUV categories can sell out or become much more expensive.
Most Bogota rental companies release the security deposit within 7-14 business days after you return the vehicle in good condition, but the exact timing depends on your bank. Using special no-deposit / no-credit-card deals can help you avoid having a large amount blocked on your card in the first place.
The excess, or deductible, is the maximum amount you pay if the rental car is damaged or stolen. In Colombia, it often ranges from about COP 2,000,000 to COP 6,000,000, depending on vehicle class. The rental company covers costs above that. You can usually reduce or even buy down the excess by purchasing extra protection cover.
Most rental counters in Bogota require a major credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit. Some partners, however, may accept debit cards or cash when you choose special no-deposit / no-credit-card deals. Always check payment conditions in the offer details before confirming your reservation.
Average daily rates in Bogota for a small economy car typically start around COP 120,000–180,000, with compact and midsize models costing more. Prices vary with season, rental length, insurance options, and pick-up location. Booking early and being flexible with car category and dates can help you find a significantly better price.
At Bogota - El Dorado Intl. Airport (BOG), you will find well-known international car rental brands available in the terminal area, including Hertz and Avis, offering a selection of vehicles and services suited to both business and leisure travelers arriving in the Colombian capital.
Bookingcar lets you compare offers from multiple rental companies in Bogota on one platform, helping you spot better prices, inclusive packages, and flexible policies. Clear rental conditions, customer reviews, and 24/7 support make it easier to choose the right car, avoid hidden charges, and manage your reservation before and during your trip.
If you return the car late, most Bogota rental companies charge additional hours or a full extra day once you pass a grace period, plus possible penalty fees. Rates can be higher than your original price. If you realize you will be delayed, contact the rental company immediately to adjust the contract and reduce extra costs.
Safer options include paid car parks such as Parqueadero Centro Internacional, Parqueadero Andino near Centro Comercial Andino, and lots around Parque de la 93 and Zona T. Many shopping centers have secure multi-storey parking where you take a ticket at entry and pay at automated machines or a cashier before exiting.
In Colombia, most rental contracts do not allow you to drive across international borders with the vehicle, or they require special written permission and extra insurance. If cross-border travel might be needed, declare it when booking, as only some providers permit it and they may charge an additional fee or impose restrictions.
Standard limits in Colombia, unless signs show otherwise, are usually:
Cities and urban areas: 30–60 km/h, commonly 50–60 km/h
Rural roads: around 80 km/h
Dual carriageways and main highways: 90–100 km/h
Always follow posted signs, as limits can change near schools, tunnels, construction zones and in mountainous regions.
