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.
