Pros: Car was quite good & comfortable.
Cons: Over 3 hours lost during renting a car - nobody waiting at the airport, very slow service &... Booked car was not at the airport but 1 hour away :( They didn't give me miles for rental as promissed.

Good car and economic
Pros: Economy and maneuverability. Car handled well for driving in Lima

Worth the money
Pros: The car was comfortable, was relatively new and was somewhat economical.
Cons: It takes the rep too long to do the paper work upon arrival to check in. Upon check out it takes them even longer to get to the car to receive it and then you have to go to the terminal to finish the whole process. It's too much of running around just for the process.
4.4 Okay

Paid twice the quoted price.
Pros: Cleanliness and quick drop off.
Cons: Last time with Avis. I had been quoted $44.50 USD for the rental. When I arrived at the airport for the pickup, they told me I'd have to pay $85.76 USD. I wasted about an hour trying to tell them that was unacceptable and had to pay almost double what I was quoted in the end.

Didn’t have our car, and did nothing to fix it.
Pros: Liked absolutely nothing. Avis customer service was no help. They said that it’s not really Avis in Peru, so they can’t do anything about it. So, nothing really good about it.
Cons: When we arrived they took a few minutes, and told us that they didn’t have our car. Then they would do nothing about it. To top it off, they haven’t refunded our reservation, even though we had to go to another agency to get the SUV we needed. I ALWAYS rent through Enterprise, and I guess there is a reason. Avis was awful and absolutely no help. It was a bit more insulting since I had reserved the car seven months in advance. Don’t rent from Avis.
4.4 Okay
7 Feb 2020
Pros: the lack of communication with the avis office at the airport, well the office is not at the airport, is located at front of it, was a long walk and i was with my mother, she's 70 years old, the other big issue that i had was the i got the car insurance with you ( kayak and priceline ) and because of that they had to put a hold on my credit card of $5,000 because for them i didn't have insurance cause i was doing the insurance with you guys a third party. overall you shouldn't sell them like they are locate at the airport cause they don't and do something about the car insurance policy, really disappointed.
9.2 Excellent
27 Sep 2016
Overall great expirience
Pros: The car was in almost perfect condition. With one small downside.
Cons: We've booked the cheapest car but for it you should leave 5000$ frozen if you're not 26. We did not find that info on the web site. So we end up on more expensive rental. The car that we rented was very sensitive to noise. If the noise was really loud the alarm enabled. Otherwise car was perfect.
8.8 Excellent
22 Oct 2016
Good company. Good value.
Pros: The staff was friendly and courteous. The car performed well with no problems.
Cons: Pick up took an Hour! Although this was due to their not being able to process American Express that day - not really their fault - it was their banks's. At least the representative provided options. The car was advertised on kayak as a manual transmission but I received an automatic ... which was a little disappointing as a was looking forward to driving a stick shift ... but probably it was more practical in the end. If you are thinking of driving in Lima ... the guidebooks are Right! DON'T DO IT! Craziest drivers Ever!... at least get the insurance. Thankfully nothing happened to us.

Very friendly staff, difficult to find drop-off
Pros: Friendly and honest staff
Cons: I had serious difficulty finding the location to drop off the car. In fact, it was closed although Alamo claims to be opened 24 hours. I managed to leave the car at the designated place and have the clerk at the desk arrange for the checkup. I did make my flight, but it was a stressful experience. The staff was really friendly.
7.2 Good
15 Aug 2019
Pros: The staff was extremely friendly and thorough.
Cons: I understand the road restrictions with the odd/even numbered plates. We were told that we would have an odd numbered plate, which worked well for us because of the driving we needed to do on a particular day. However, they gave us an even numbered plate, which really messed up our day.

Bad costumer service
Pros: Value
Cons: When pickup they try to force you to buy insurance claiming is mandatory but is just optional. Cars are full of scratches and when you return the car they will try to find one not marked at the pickup to ask you for a tip. Be careful.

Poor service and surprise additional costs
Cons: Rental price was only a 'base price' in which local taxes were added. In addition the car reserved was not available (they overbooked) and the upgrade to another car was not free. In the end more than double the price of the original rental agreement was demanded and the staff at the airport were not helpful or accommodating, borderline rude.

Pros: The staff tried to help sometimes but only with the drop-off.
Cons: At pick-up the price suddenly went up with 400 dollars (for 9 days, wich is insane!) The car was clean but there was something wrong with the engine since it was barely capable of getting uphill (we had to push the car) but at Hertz they said it was all perfectly fine. Gave the car back after 7 days

JUST DON'T RENT FROM HERZ......
Pros: Nothing.....
Cons: My confirmed reservation wasn't in system. I had to wait 1-2 hours to give me an another car. I booked a car for 15.8$ plus19% Global Allianz insurance. The new price in office was 66$ plus 1100$ excess, plus only 300 km & no thief protection. They said me that the G. ALLIANZ is not good and next time i mustn't book it and i must to pay for a full insurance from Herz. Of course i said not and i found a new rental near to Herz.

Beware
Pros: Nothing
Cons: BEWARE. Cars are not ready at quoted time. When we arrived, other customers had been waiting for 2+ hours. They try to scam you into buying their insurance, which is not required (read the other reviews for this location on Google maps); then, they insisted if we didn’t buy their insurance they had to but a $10,000 USD hold on our credit card. We called them out on their scamming, the woman at the counter laughed at us. We canceled, used their WiFi to book with Budget a few blocks away, and rented without hassle from them instead.

Cons: Staff dinged me for not having 7/8ths gas in the car. However, I returned the car at the exact level of gasoline as when I picked it up. Instead they told me it wasn't enough and charged me anyway. Take a photo of your fuel gauge when picking up

Pros: Hertz in Lima did not honor the reservation I had made on Kayak. At the 6517 Avenida Javier Prado Este, La Molina location reservation #J2482495213, they said they did not have a reservation for me. I showed them my Kayak confirmation and they said sorry they had no more cars and their was nothing under my name. At the Hertz215 Pasaje Tello, location,Conf. #J2484735202 they said they had my reservation but could not honor the price I had reserved it for on Kayak for $130 but they charged me $380.
Cons: Honor the reservation I made with Kayak.

Charged more than they should have
Pros: The car was clean and nice.
Cons: Pick-up- we were forced to purchase "mandatory" insurance that more than doubled the price of our entire rental. Drop-off - The agent first tried to charge us extra for miles, because he said we only paid for 2 days of a rental. I had pre-paid for 3 days, and had to show him the confirmation twice, where it was clearly written "3 Days". After he couldn't charge me for extra miles, he tried to charge me an extra fee for picking up and dropping off at a different location, even though I had specified (and paid!) for that when making my reservation. Drop-off took well over 45 minutes - I have never had a car rental drop off take so long or have them try to charge us for so many bogus charges.

Top tips for hiring a car in Lima

  • Lima is a glorious city filled with colonial history, monasteries, archaeological sites, and a sprawling metropolis for you to explore. Organizing a hire car will give you the opportunity to witness the wonderful landscapes and hills that surround Lima. Not only will a hire car give you the freedom to navigate your travel at your own pace, it will also open up the chance to experience an authentic slice of Peru within the rural villages and districts that surround Lima.
  • Jorge Chávez International Airport is located 11 km (7 miles) from Lima and is a major transport hub for South America. Use KAYAK to view the best hire deals from a list of major companies such as Alamo, Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Thrifty at Jorge Chávez International Airport. Once you have organized your hire and collected your baggage, simply proceed to the Arrivals Hall, where you will find the counters of the hire agencies and have the car keys in your hand in no time.
  • Driving in Peru is unique and likely different from the conditions you have experienced elsewhere. The roads can be manic and drivers fight for every gap and angle. Understanding this before you arrive will hold you in good stead, so just be prepared to alter your driving nature and react to the new environment. The constant sound of car horns is also something you will get used to quickly -- a blast on the horn indicates that you are passing or approaching a nearby vehicle, rather than an indication of anger.
  • Lima has a population of almost 10 million and of course the city’s roads reflect this. Congestion is common throughout the majority of the day, with afternoon and evening periods the worst time to be driving. If possible, try to avoid driving after 3pm and look into finding secure parking where you can leave your car and have opportunity to explore the city via public transport and walking.
