INTERNAL FLIGHTS

The small size of Uruguay deprives any sense of flying within the country. Even so, there are domestic charter flights operated by the airline Aeromas between Montevideo and Salto, Tacuarembó, Paysandú, Rivera and Artigas.

CAR RENTAL

The process is easy and practical. Most visitors can rent small utilities online and in advance for starting at €20 per day. To collect them, they only need a driving license from their own country and credit card. Driving is easy and usually not dangerous with some well built and well maintained motorways and local roads with few traffic lights but a good number of roundabouts and speed control speed bumps. Fuel costs around €1,35 per liter, this example for gasoline. There is a fixed toll for each passage on the motorways. It costs €2,60 for a conventional car.

TRUCK

Uruguay is served by a good number of buses operated by several competing companies. Most towns have their own terminal with departures to the closest or most important towns, invariably to Montevideo. Buses that cover longer distances are more modern, faster and more comfortable. The locals, on the other hand, make their routes with more stops and, in peak hours, they can be overcrowded. More information at OmniLines.

SHIP

The company buquebus operates ferries between Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo, in Uruguay and Buenos Aires, the Argentine capital. Other companies with this and other routes are the Cologne Express and SeaCat Cologne.

TAXI

They are modern and very functional. All have a meter and charge around €1,50 for each km traveled.

OTHER

Remises are a kind of taxis that are more equipped, sophisticated and with a more professional service than taxis. They can be booked in advance and charge around €1,30 per km or €15 or €16 per hour. They provide transfers from Montevideo to the airport for around €35. More information at By Remises e Airport Transfer
