Bariloche Airport (BRC) welcomes you with 19 rental agencies in the arrivals hall - the widest selection in all of Patagonia. The airport is about 15 km east of the city center and is the starting point for countless adventures in the Andean lake landscape.

With 19 rental agencies on-site, it's worthwhile to compare prices directly in the terminal, but always book online in advance during ski season (June - September) when cars run out quickly.
