Comfort and convenience at the best price
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in El Salvador, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in El Salvador and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to El Salvador on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Mercedes E Cabrio from us, starting at €81 per day and rented out by the popular company sixt in El Salvador. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Peugeot Traveller might be best - from €61 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, budget recommends opting for a business class car like Mercedes E for €41 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Opel Astra for just €18 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.
