Caracas Car Hire

The capital of Venezuela, Caracas sits in a valley with the imposing Mount Avila looking over it and providing a great spot to get away into nature for tourists and locals alike. The city itself is vibrant and bustling, and with very cheap fuel, car hire in Caracas is very popular.

Caracas car hire businesses operate largely in the centre of town, but thankfully for those arriving on cheap flights to Caracas the airport is also located right in the city centre. Therefore while car hire from Caracas Airport is available, it's even easier if you find your Caracas hotels first then seek out the cheap Caracas car hire nearby.

Places to visit in Caracas

Venezuela is hugely proud of Simon Bolivar, thus the museum at his birthplace, a well preserved colonial building, is very popular. If your tastes in architecture are more modern, visit the World Heritage Site of the Universidad Central de Venezuela, designed by Carlos Raul Villanueva in the 1950s and 1960s. Whilst there cross the road to the Jardin Botanico to see Latin America's tropical plants and trees. When city life becomes too much, take the car to Mount Avila which is located just to the North of the city for great views of Caracas, or take the cable-car ride to the summit.
