When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Argentina vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Argentina are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Buenos Aires, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Highways connect large cities only, and the majority of small towns are connected to each other by two-lane paved roads that locals call «rutas». These roads are not distinguished by good lighting. Moreover, in addition to cars there are many buses and trucks on such roads.
Some towns can be reached by dirt or gravel roads only. In this case foreign drivers should think about the route carefully in advance. It would also be a good idea to purchase a detailed map of local roads before the trip.
Drivers should be particularly careful when purchasing fuel. It is recommended to fill the tank as soon as there is an opportunity because at some roads and road sections petrol stations are very rare.
