My husband and I will be traveling to Argentina at the end of December for our honeymoon. When we are in Bariloche I would really like to rent a car - we like to drive around to different towns, and see the lakes and so on (Also because we will be there over Christmas, I thought it would be good to have our own car). I can not find any rental place that has automatic cars - except one place quoting $150 a day for an SUV!
Any help at all would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Automatic gears are rather uncommon in Argentina and you may well be unable to get a better rental than what you already found, particularly over the Christmas holidays.

He will probably see this thread and reply to your question. Otherwise, you can e-mail him, because that is what he posts his e-mail address for.
Have a wonderful honeymoon in our country, sharbear84.
Sharbear, congrats on your marriage. AVR is correct, I believe I can help you out with an automatic. Please send me your excat dates and I will get you a quote.
Suerte, SS
I realize this is an old thread but my wife and I are in a similar situation where we will be visiting Bariloche, Argentina next month and are looking for an automatic car rental for a few days. Any advice/ help would be appreciated. Thanks.
The answer is the same as four years ago.
At best, it will be expensive.
Have a great time in our country.
