Renting Car
Hey Folks.! I got a problem, I`m traveling to colombia for the first time. Im traveling Dec/04. very excited, can't wait to get there and enjoy that marvelous country.(anyways) My main concern is my transportation... I would like to know if any of you guys know where can I rent a decent car in Bogota for about 1 month.(low-profile car.) Please dont tell me Budget or Dollar because I cheked already there and it's like renting a car in South Beach, F.L. Very Expensive.
Thanks for the help.

Personally, I would recommend Taxis. There's plenty of them and they are not too costly.

Cars here are expensive Car rentals are expensive because cars are expensive. There's not a whole lot you can do to get around that. You might get a better deal locally, though, than through the corporate websites because the local reps are enabled to bargain in ways the others aren't.

Yo.....take the bus or a cab. Its really simple to get around the city this way. If you rente a car, not only will it be expensive but it will also be a hastle when it comes to parking. Its very much like NY, there is no where to park. You could also hire someone to drive you around. I went to Colombia last year and was going to rent a price but after seeing the prices I decided not to. My family suggested I hired one of their friends who had a Taxi to drive me around. It wasnt that expensive but at the end I decided to experience Bogota like a local, using the bus.

Forget renting a CAR Again,, forget it, do NOT get behind the wheel of a CAR. Absolutely not necessary. Now you've been told,, after that,, ignorance,,, becomes, well,,, no longer ignorance.
