Depending on the places you plan to visit while in Cuenca, there are a few cars worth considering. If you plan on going for long drives past the rural areas of the city and its surrounding, an SUV is arguably the best option since they allow you to drive comfortably over long distances. An SUV will also be able to handle the rough terrain found on certain routes and has a large capacity for passengers and luggage, making it ideal for family trips.
The city has different speed limits applied to different roads depending on how frequently the roads are used and which speeds are deemed safe for drivers, pedestrians and other road users. For instance, when driving your car rentals on Cuenca city roads, you are required to maintain a maximumof 50 km/h (31 mph). However, if you’re driving on suburban roads and highways, you can drive to speeds as high as 110 km/h (68 mph). Please note that in areas where the speed limit has been posted on signs, that limit takes precedence over any other speed limit.
Parking your car rentals in Cuenca is anything but a walk in the park. Finding a parking spot in the city center can be a real pain since parking spaces are limited. Keep an eye out for parking attendants in blue jackets who will guide you on where to park and give you a ticket. Consider using parking garages instead of street parking, as they are more secure when parking overnight.

Pros:
Despite the language barrier they tried to communicate with us. When we ran into an issue we were able to reach customer service at night and they were able to send someone out to look at the car within 15 minutes. Once the mechanic determined that the car was unsafe to drive customer service was able to procure us a new car the next morning.Cons:
The issue with the car was that the brake pads had completely worn out to the point that the car was unsafe to drive. We should've never been rented a car where the brakes were worn out to that extent. That's a safety issue as we could've potentially fallen off a mountain since we were driving through mountainous roads in the Andes mountains. Instead of apologizing for the issue and offering us say an upgrade for a car or doing anything to apologize all they did was offer the exact same make and model (Chevy Spark) the next morning. On top of all that when we returned the car we were over the mileage limit. After some discussion they only knocked $30 off the total mileage overage charge. Given how poorly their cars are maintained I won't recommend using them despite their low cost unless you do a full inspection on their cars since if they're willing to rent you a car without inspecting something as important as brakes then you never know what else might go wrong with the car.2.0 Poor

Dec 2016
Cons:
Price will be considerably higher than your rate quote when you reserve on line. Quoted $98 in Cuenca online reservation. Paid $239 there, only after arguing that the agent in Quito said he would guarantee a rate in Cuenca (hand written quote) of $200, including 1,000km, and upgrade. He said to have them call from Cuenca if there was any problem. She would not call. Insurance MUST be taken out according to the agents in both cities, which adds $20 per day. Front tires on car rented in Cuenca were almost bald. Made me nervous since we would be traveling windy roads up and down hills. WILL not rent with Thrify again!Most popular car type | Full-size |

Some Cuenca car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Cuenca.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Cuenca car hire.
