¿Qué necesitas para alquilar un coche en Asuncion?

Alquilar un coche en Asuncion es bastante cómodo, pero puede haber algunos requisitos específicos, especialmente para los conductores extranjeros.

Forma de identificación: A valid physical national photo ID (Japan, Turkey, or Paraguay) must be presented at the counter.
Permiso de conducir: Main and additional drivers must present a full, original local driving licence with no major endorsements. The licence must generally be held for at least 1–3 years, depending on vehicle/supplier (check voucher or full T&Cs for the exact requirement). Photocopies, scans, or digital-only licences are not accepted.
Notas: For some Japan rentals, an original Japanese driver’s licence is required (a MyNa Menkyo alone is not accepted) and ETC rental may be unavailable. In Turkey, old-format licences issued before Jan 1, 2016 become invalid as of Oct 31, 2025; a new-format licence is required at pick-up.
Tarjetas aceptadas: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required in most cases. Accepted cards vary by offer and can include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Diners, Discover, and UnionPay. Some offers also allow cash or debit/‘deposit’ cards (mainly Visa/MasterCard/AMEX debit) for payment or deposit; check your specific confirmation. E‑voucher or printed voucher may be required for some deals.
Requisitos de edad: Typical allowable driver age ranges across offers are approximately 18–80, with most common bands between 20–75. Some suppliers require higher minimum ages (21, 22, 23, 24, or 25) or lower maximum ages (60, 65, 70). For certain offers, young drivers incur extra fees, for example: age 21–26 or 20–23 may pay about EUR 5 per day (reference: $5.92/day). Some offers also list senior driver surcharges (e.g., 75–80, fee to be confirmed). Always refer to your specific booking for the exact age limits and any young/old driver supplements.

Permiso de conducir: The main and any additional drivers must provide a full, original driving licence with no major endorsements, usually held for at least 1–3 years depending on the offer. Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + IDP issued under the 1949 Convention (or other International Driving Permit), carried together, in original booklet form (IDP is a translation only).
• Original driving licence from certain countries with official Japanese translation (e.g., Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Slovenia, Monaco, Taiwan, Estonia) issued by JAF, ADAC, ALADDIN, or relevant embassy/consulate, where applicable.
• Original Hong Kong licence + IDP (where stated).
• Original South Korea Driving License (English version with translation on back), where explicitly accepted.
• Original US, Canadian, or Australian licence (for specific Turkey offers only).
• GCC Driving License (for specific Turkey offers only) or combinations explicitly listed on your voucher. Photocopies or scanned copies are not accepted.
Notas: In Japan, the IDP must be 1949‑Convention, A6 booklet format and match the vehicle category; an entry stamp/seal may be required if using automated immigration gates. For some Japan offers, IDP holders from the Philippines must also bring their Philippine passport and licence. For Switzerland, Germany, France, Belgium, Monaco, Slovenia, Taiwan (and sometimes Estonia), only authorized Japanese translations (e.g., JAF, ADAC, ALADDIN, embassies/consulates) are accepted. In Turkey, driver’s licence, passport, and IDP may need to be issued in the same country for some offers.
Forma de identificación: A valid passport must be presented at the counter.
Tarjetas aceptadas: Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are generally required for deposit and/or payment. Depending on the offer, accepted brands can include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB, Diners, Discover, and UnionPay. Some suppliers also accept cash or debit/‘deposit’ cards (Visa/MasterCard/AMEX) for payment or deposit; always check your voucher. An e‑voucher or printed voucher is required for some offers. Where stated, you may need printed proof of insurance (Collision/Theft and Third‑Party) from your credit card issuer or insurer.

Paraguay Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental advice for Asunción and beyond

Can I drive in Paraguay with my US license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?

Your US license is valid in Paraguay, but an International Driving Permit (IDP) is highly recommended. Police checkpoints (retenes) are common outside major cities, and an IDP serves as an official Spanish translation. The IDP costs about $20 and is valid for 1 year. Renters must be at least 21 years old; drivers under 25 typically pay a young driver surcharge of $10–$15/day.

Are the roads outside Asunción safe for self-driving, especially at night?

Major highways (Ruta 1, Ruta 2, Ruta 7) connecting Asunción to Ciudad del Este or Encarnación are paved and generally well-marked. However, rural roads lack lighting and may have potholes, wandering cattle, or slow-moving vehicles at night. Avoid night driving on secondary roads—assaults and carjackings have been reported on isolated stretches. During rainy season (October–March), some roads flood; check conditions before departing.

How do police checkpoints (retenes) work, and what documents do I need?

Retenes are routine police stops, especially on highways leaving cities. Carry your passport, driver's license, IDP (if applicable), rental agreement, and vehicle registration. Officers typically check documents and may inspect the trunk. Stay calm, keep hands visible, and don't bribe officers—it's illegal and can result in arrest. Fines for minor violations (e.g., expired registration) are usually $20–$50 if paid on the spot.

Should I rent a gasoline or diesel car, and where do I fill up?

Most rental cars in Paraguay run on nafta (gasoline/petrol), with diesel less common in passenger vehicles. Unleaded gasoline (95 octane) is standard at stations like Petrobras, Shell, and Copetrol along major routes. In Asunción, gas stations are abundant. In rural areas, fill up before leaving—some stations close by 10 PM. Fuel is paid in guaraníes or US dollars; credit cards are accepted at major stations.

What's the parking situation in Asunción, and how much does it cost?

Street parking in central Asunción costs 2,000–3,500 guaraníes per hour (about $0.25–$0.50) during business hours (8 AM–8 PM). Private lots charge $1–$3/hour. Avoid parking on streets overnight—vehicle theft is common. Many hotels and shopping malls offer free parking. When street parking, look for blue-and-white meters or attendant booths.

What insurance do I really need, and will my US credit card cover me?

Basic liability insurance is mandatory in Paraguay. Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) with a $1,500–$3,000 deductible is strongly recommended—road conditions and lack of emergency services make accidents risky. Many US credit cards provide secondary CDW coverage if you decline the rental company's coverage, but verify before your trip as claims can be cumbersome. Third-party liability with at least $50,000 coverage is advisable. Note: CDW does not cover driving on unpaved roads in some rental contracts—read the fine print.
