Poorbutsnappy says on Jul 8, 2008, 11:38: tejas... the cheapest rental en Medellin is about 150.000 pesos a day for a small economy car. The gas prices are very high. There is a risk of being carjacked or the car stolen if you ever park it on the street. Parking is tough. Drivers are crazy. Colombia tierra querida, himno de fe y armonía!... 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Mononoke28 says on Jul 8, 2008, 13:40: Don't forget that that is the fee with very few km. They add extra, a lot actually, per km you go over. We called 3 different places in Medellín and a few more in Cali and just a trip to El Peñol would have cost us over $250 USD. Not worth it. Diana 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Mononoke28 says on Jul 9, 2008, 09:08: You can also go to the Terminal del Norte, hop on a bus to El Peñol/Guatapé for like $15.000 pesos and still have a great time. Diana 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

rhydewithdis says on Jul 9, 2008, 10:01: There are a bunch of rental places on Av. Poblado (Cr. 43a) on the right side as you make your way to San Diego. There is one block with at least 4-6 of them. If you can make your way there, you can drop in to each and see what their rates are. They said I couldn't play football I was too small / They say I couldn't play basketball I wasn't tall / They say I couldn't play baseball at all / And now everyday of my life I ball. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
