Yes, there are, but there are very few. In some cities, there are some models and in others, the only option is to rent manual cars.
Yes, it is possible, but the distances are very long. The best is to fly to each destination and take the car you will use on those days at the airport. This way you will enjoy it more and it will be less exhausting.
To have internet you must buy a sim card from Argentina and charge it with money. However, there are some routes where you still won’t have good reception. The best thing is to have all the information you will need downloaded and analyzed the route and the stops you would like to make.
No, there are places where it is best to go with a full tank or even go with backup in the trunk, for example in Patagonia, where there are long deserted routes without fuel stations.

Argentina is the world’s 8th largest country, meaning that finding hundreds of different amazing and uncrowded roads won’t be a problem. The best part of your self-drive tour is the independence you will have, to stop whenever you like, have a picnic by the lake, no rush at all! Let’s explore our self-drive tours adventures!
Best destinations to self-drive in Argentina during holidays are:
Your self-drive tour can start on Salta, the jumping-off point for all travelers who seek to visit Northern Argentina. Stunning landscapes will surely join you on the road while driving to the Salt Flats known as Salinas Grandes. Another unique place you can visit is the world’s heritage of Humahuaca Gorge (Quebrada de Humahuaca, in Spanish), the picturesque towns of Maimara, Tilcara, Humahuaca and Uquía among other beautiful traditional villages. Still, Salta being your starting point, you can do your self-drive tour through Argentina’s Calchaquí Valley. Along the way, you’ll find pre-Colombian villages with colorful mountains as backgrounds, typical of Northern Argentina. You will also visit Cafayate, where you can taste their world-known Torrontés wine.
If Southern Argentina is calling you, self-drive tours in Patagonia’s Lake District is your top choice. From Bariloche to Villa La Angostura, driving through the Nahuel Huapi National Park, you will be able to visit Lake Traful, Valle Encantado, Los Arrayanes National Park and be stunned by their jaw-dropping beauty.
Snow-capped mountains along the way and pure air are some of the things you will experience on the road through Patagonia. In a 6-day self-drive trip you drive through Glaciers National Park to visit the Perito Moreno’s Glacier, or visit the wonderful village of El Chaltén, and go trekking in one of the many hiking trails. El Chaltén, the National capital of Trekking, offers all kinds of level hiking trails.
If you are looking for the whole Patagonia’s package, our 13-day self-drive tour is the one: El Calafate, El Chaltén, plus visiting Torres del Paine National Park to meet the iconic towers and hiking the most famous trail in the park that will take you to the base of the Cuernos del Paine (8500 f.o.s.l.). Last but not least, you will drive to the End of the World city, Ushuaia, where close encounter with penguins awaits. Not every day you get to self-drive to the End of the World, right?
Patagonia is the southernmost part of Argentina that goes from the province of Neuquén to Tierra del Fuego. Patagonia means nature, pure air, snow-capped mountains, uncrowded roads, turquoise water lakes, and encounters with traditions and local cultures. A totally perfect destination for self-drive tours as it has many beautiful attractions. It’s a dreamland for people who look for adventure but also for the ones who seek relaxing moments alone, with friends or with the whole family. Traveler ‘s favorite destinations in Patagonia are Bariloche, El Chaltén, El Calafate and Ushuaia.

We loved Argentina! The people were so very kind and the parts of the country that we saw are beautiful. We really enjoyed the food. (I’m going to try my hand at making empanadas). We went on many hikes and took tons of photos. All the hotels were very comfortable and clean. The staff at the desks were helpful and friendly. The hotel at Torres del Paine was extra special and a real treat. The car rental worked out very well. Being able to travel on our own schedule was so much better than being on a tour (which we had planned to do before Covid hit and Chile closed its borders). We can’t thank you enough for the planning and all the arrangements made for us. We had a truly memorable time in the beautiful Argentina.
We visited: Salta, Catchi, Cafayete, Salt -Flat, Purmamarca, Tilcara, Iguazú falls ,Buenos Aires. The whole trip was 100 % organized by Say Hueque . Everything was perfect, the hotels, guides, scenery, the whole itinerary. I would recomend this agency for self drive trips!
Our trip: Buenos Aires, Igauzu Falls, Salta, Huhuamaca Canyon/Valley, Purmamarca, Salt Flats. You will not find a better way to see these cities and sites, or any other place in Argentina than Say Hueque. Talk about worry-free, accomodating, flexible. Thay are simply the best. Highly recommend Say Huque!
We loved our 13 day trip to Patagonia! We visited El Calafate, El Chaten, Puerto Natales and Ushuaia. Our Travel Advisor from Say Hueque planned an organized and exciting trip for us with excursions to the Perito Moreno Glacier and Torres del Paine in Chile. We also got to walk with the penguins in Ushuaia. Our superior hotels and our rented car were very nice. Highly recommend this trip!
Say Hueque personalized an amazing 9 day trip to El Calafate, El Chalten, Argentina and Puerto Natales in January-February 2020, taking care of all the logistics (hotels, transfers and tours). We wanted a balance of independent travel and organized small group tours so Karen arranged just the right combination. My only wish is to have stayed a day longer at each town. We did our own day hikes from El Chalten and guided day hikes in Torres del Paine and a day tour to Perrito Moreno Glacier.
My trip was organized to the detail. All information was sent to me prior to my traveling. My trip lasted 7 days, visiting EL Calafate, Torres Del Paine and El Chalten. The trip to Patagonia was outstanding! I loved my road trip!
