About Renting a Car at Mariscal Sucre International Airport
Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) is Ecuador's largest airport and the gateway to the country's capital, Quito. With 13 rental agencies, you have the best selection in all of Ecuador right at arrival. The airport is located 37 km northeast of Quito's downtown, approximately 45 minutes' drive via the E35 highway.
