Car rental at the Jorge Wilstermann International Airport

Located just 13.7 km from the city of Cochabamba, the airport's location makes it the perfect starting point to explore Bolivia's beauty.

Car Rental Stations at the Airport

The airport hosts several renowned international car rental companies. Here you'll find Hertz, Avis, Budget and Europcar to name a few. Just head to the arrival hall after collecting your luggage and sign up for the vehicle that best suits your journey.

Recommended Car Class

Given the diversity of Bolivia's landscape, from urban cities to mountainous areas, we recommend renting a compact SUV. It offers comfort for city driving and the necessary power to traverse Bolivia's beautiful off-road sceneries.

Gas Stations Near the Airport

Ready to hit the road? Don't forget to fill up the tank. Luckily, there are several gas stations within a 5km radius of the airport. One of the closest is YPFB, about 3 km from the airport.

Accessibility and Driving Routes

The airport is well-connected to major routes and cities in Bolivia. Driving to Cochabamba takes roughly 25 minutes via Route 4/E-10. The picturesque city of Sacaba is just a half-hour drive via Route 4/E-712. Planning on exploring more? Santa Cruz is a long but worth-it 8-hour drive via Route 7.

Currency

The local currency is the Bolivian boliviano. You'll find currency exchange facilities at the airport itself. Most car rental and gas stations accept credit cards too.

Surrounding Cities and Attractions

While Cochabamba itself offers many attractions like Palacio Portales and Parque de las Aves Agroflori, don't miss out on other surrounding gems. If you're historically inclined, head to the ruins of Incallajta and if you're up for some nature adventures, Parque Nacional Tunari is just a drive away.

Climate

The region enjoys a subtropical highland climate. Summers are wet but winters are comfortable and mostly clear. Although the weather is fairly consistent, pack your clothing accordingly.
