CAR RENTALS

To rent a car in Uruguay residents of many countries (including the United States) need only their driver's license, passport and credit card; only residents of certain countries must obtain an International Driver's Permit. Most of the cars in Uruguay are manual transmissions, which means that vehicles with automatic transmissions are more expensive.

DRIVING

Driving in Uruguay is very similar to European driving. Many intersections are marked only with yield signs. If you don't see a sign, treat it as a yield. If you see a stop sign ("Pare"), it means stop, please, stop, probably because it's a blind intersection or that someone was run over there. Headlights must be turned on at all times while moving. Uruguayan law requires drivers to keep both hands on the steering wheel while moving, which means you cannot use a handheld cell phone while driving. The speed limit ranges between 75 km/h to 110 km/h on most intercity highways, with 90 km/h standard on most stretches.

TAXI

Taxis and UBER in Uruguay are safe and affordable.

REMISE

Remise is a private sedan service, known for being more confortable and professional than a taxi service. Drivers can speak English and wear suits.

BUS

Uruguay has an extensive internal bus system. Non-local/departamental buses leave from Tres Cruces station, which also serves the international buses. The buses are frequent, safe, comfortable and many companies serve the same routes.
