About Renting a Car at Bariloche Airport

The airport is about 15 km east of the city center and is the starting point for countless adventures in the Andean lake landscape. Pick up your car right after landing and drive into one of Argentina's most beautiful regions.

From BRC, it takes about 20 minutes to drive into Bariloche downtown along RN237 with views of the steppe. North toward San Martín de los Andes along Ruta de los Siete Lagos is about 120 km, and south toward El Bolsón is about 130 km along the beautiful RN258. 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.
