Rent a Car in Downtown Pilar

Pilar is a fast-growing city in Greater Buenos Aires, located approximately 55 km northwest of Buenos Aires city center along the Panamericana Highway. The city is an important business and shopping center with several shopping malls including Alto Palermo Pilar. A rental car gives you the flexibility to navigate the city's dispersed urban structure and reach neighboring cities quickly.

Via the Panamericana Expressway (Route 9) it takes approximately 45 minutes to Buenos Aires city center without traffic, but expect up to 90 minutes during rush hour. Pilar Premium Outlets and Paseo Pilar are popular shopping destinations that are easiest to reach by car. Tigre and its delta lands are just about 30 km east.
