 | | Car Rental in Medellín: Practicalities and Safety | There are no car rental agencies at José Maria Córdoba Airport but you can easily arrange for a car to meet you there, whether you intend to drive yourself or use one of the chauffeur-driven vehicles, which are popular in the city and recommended by many tourist agencies. Because Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport is centrally located, it is easy to find a car rental agency right there, or you can travel further into the city along the central freeway for more options.
You need to have an International Driver's Licence or a Columbian licence to drive in Medellín. Many local agencies overlook this but beware, as it may affect your insurance. All rental vehicles are marked as such, which unfortunately means tourists can easily be identified by criminals, so it is inadvisable to drive outside the city at night. Fortunately Medellín has plenty of secure parking lots.
Driving can be difficult at peak times, but if you are patient and careful it is unlikely that you will run into any problems. | | | | | | |  | | Compare Cheap Car Rentals Deals | | |
