Insurance covers third-party liability and significant accident damage — it does not cover situations that are purely the renter's responsibility. The deposit is fully refunded unless one or more of the following apply:

• Smoking inside the vehicle — all cars are strictly non-smoking.
• Police fines — any traffic or parking fine received during your rental period.
• Returning with less than a full tank — vehicles must be returned with a full tank, exactly as received.
• Missing equipment — all accessories, documents, and items must be present at return.
• Deep cleaning — standard cleaning is always included at no cost. We only charge if the car requires specialist cleaning, for example removing chewing gum from upholstery or seats.
• Serious scratches or dents — we never charge for minor scratches as that's prevalent in Paraguay, even in Asunción. Deductions only apply to clearly avoidable, more significant damage.

In all other cases your full deposit is returned to you promptly after the rental ends.

That's it

When we didn't ask for payment, we had 35% of people who reserved but never fulfilled their booking and we ended up with a car not rented out which loses us money. We are flexible, so please do write to support if you're not sure or not you need a car.

Yes. You can drive to Foz, Brazil with any car that has a license plate, for a $50 fee.

You can also visit Argentina, Brazil, or Uruguay, but we charge a higher fee depending on the destination and the paperwork required. Contact support for details.

For visiting other countries, you'll need a Paraguayan Cédula and a Paraguayan driver's license. If you have the Cédula, we can help you get a driver's license.

If you damage the car we will deduct the cost for the damages up to the deposited amount.

You choose the pickup and the drop-off separately when you book, and each one can be any of these:

• Life Recoleta — San Roque González de Santacruz 390, Asunción. Free. Open in Google Maps
• Totem — Totem Café de Especialidad, Asunción. Free. Open in Google Maps
• Silvio Pettirossi Airport — we meet you in the arrivals area. $20. Open in Google Maps
• Your own address in Asunción — your hotel, flat or office. $20. Paste a Google Maps link or type the address when you book.
• Anywhere else — message us on WhatsApp and we'll agree the spot and a small fee.

Every option shows a Map link on the booking page, so you can check exactly where you're meeting us before you pay.

Yes. The pickup and the drop-off are chosen independently — collect the car at the airport and leave it at Life Recoleta, or the other way round, whatever suits your trip.

The $20 delivery fee applies per handover, not per booking. So:

• Free spot at both ends (Life Recoleta or Totem) — no fee
• Airport or your own address at one end only — $20
• Airport or your own address at both ends — $40

Whatever you pick is shown with its price on the review page before you pay, so there are no surprises.

We can still meet you — there's an out-of-hours charge of $3 for every hour away from our office hours of 08:00–18:00, rounded up, and it's counted separately for the pickup and the return.

Some examples:

• 07:30 or 18:30 — $3
• 06:30 or 19:30 — $6
• Late night and early morning are the most expensive, up to $21 around 01:00

08:00 and 18:00 themselves count as office hours and cost nothing. If both your pickup and your return are out of hours, you pay for each one. The exact amount for every time slot is shown in the dropdown when you pick your times, so you can compare before choosing.

Yes — choose Custom Asunción area for your pickup, drop-off or both, and give us the address. You can paste a Google Maps link or just type it. Delivery within Asunción is $20 per handover.

Outside Asunción, send us a WhatsApp message — we're flexible within reason and will quote you a small fee for the trip.

Q: What does your free insurance not cover? A: Our free insurance covers the rental, except if the driver is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or if there is severe negligence.

You pay the security deposit in cash when you pick up the car, in US dollars or Paraguayan guaraníes.

Guaraníes are accepted in any condition.

US dollars have to be clean and undamaged, because banks and shops in Paraguay routinely refuse dollar bills in poor condition. We can't accept dollar bills that are:

• Torn or ripped, even with a small tear
• Heavily folded, with deep creases
• Scratched, marked or written on
• Old series — printed before 2009

If you're not sure about your dollars, exchange them at your bank before you travel, or pay in guaraníes at the current exchange rate.

No. Every rental has unlimited mileage — there is no per-kilometre charge, ever. Drive as far as you like within the countries your rental covers.

Yes, and it applies automatically — you don't need a code:

• 7 days or more — 10% off the rental
• 14 days or more — 20% off
• 28 days or more — 30% off

The discount comes off the rental itself; delivery and any out-of-hours charges are not discounted. A referral code comes off on top of it.

Three ways:

• Card — paid online, confirmed straight away
• Bitcoin
• Guaraní bank transfer

With bitcoin or a guaraní transfer you tell us you've sent it and one of our team confirms it by hand, so your booking shows as pending for a short while rather than confirming instantly. If you'd rather pay another way, message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange it.

At the end of the rental, once the car is back and checked over.

You tell us at pickup where you want it sent — cash, a bank transfer, Wise, Revolut, USDT or bitcoin — and we return it the same way. 90% of our clients get their full deposit back. The deposit is there to make sure the car is taken care of, and deductions are made for things like scratches, dents, missing parts, missing fuel, cleaning or traffic fines.

Full to full. The car is handed to you with a full tank, and you bring it back full.

If it comes back short we charge $3 per litre missing, taken off your security deposit. There's a filling station near every one of our handover spots, so topping up on the way back is easy.

Yes, both.

• Child seat — up to three per booking
• Dog cage — one per booking

Each is $3 a day, capped at $30 per item, so on a long rental you never pay more than the cap. Add them at the Extras step when you book, and we'll have them in the car when you arrive.

Fines and traffic violations during your rental are your responsibility, as the contract sets out.

Fines in Paraguay are recorded against the driving licence at the Traffic Department, and they can reach us after you've returned the car. Anything outstanding when your deposit is due back can be deducted from it.

Yes. Give us your RUC or tax ID and we'll invoice the rental to it.

You can enter it at the last step of the booking, or tell us any time before the invoice is issued. It never changes what you pay — the price is the same with or without one.
