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.

Why on earth would you want to rent a car when you can go anywhere you want door to door by taxi for around $4-5?

I would tend to agree with Poorbutsnappy, for almost anywhere.

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.

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.

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.
