How to get the best car hire deal in Manta Airport

Here's everything you need to know to hit the road happy after you've touched down in Manta Airport. 

How to find a cheap car hire deal in Manta Airport (MEC)

  • Start your adventure off right with a cheap Manta Airport rental car. With prices averaging R 993 a day, you're on the road to better value. From small cars to full-size models, we'll help you pick the right rental for less.

  • September is the cheapest month to rent a car in MEC. With average daily rates of R 686, you're riding easy with savings like these.

  • Here's the secret to booking at the right time. Four weeks in advance gives you the best shot at finding a cheap MEC rental car.

  • Grab your wheels from Europcar, Keddy By Europcar or Goldcar, some of the most popular providers at Manta Airport.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Manta Airport car hire policy, whether with Europcar or any other supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in MEC. Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one branch to another, which means you can lock in some fantastic one-way prices.

  • Cut down on fuel costs by picking a car hire in Manta Airport with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up additional charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and select 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you explore without limits.

  • With a MEC car hire, you're the boss when it comes to where you go. If central Manta is the first place you're exploring, it's around 5 kilometres south-west of the airport and a journey of roughly 10 minutes.

  • Don't need a set of wheels right away? Consider picking up a car hire in Manta instead of at the airport. That way, you won't be paying for days you don't use.

  • Travel smarter when you rent a car in Manta Airport by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a GPS unit to be your trusty co-pilot, or reverse cameras that make parking feel effortless.

Good to know

  • Age requirements can vary by company (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Ecuador may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the best setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Confirm whether you need to add one to your MEC car hire reservation.
