Car Hire Quito International Airport

Quito is the capital of Ecuador and is voted the official highest capital city in the entire world. Formerly known as San Francisco de Quito, it is served by the major Quito International Airport, which is the link for the city to the outside world.

It first started as a Kingdom in 850 AD and today it has grown to house about two World Cultural heritages and the headquarters to the Union of South American Nations. The city is also home to the famous Andes Mountains, one among the many attractions you will find in the country.

Tourism

Immediately you arrive at the airport, secure your own car rental which you can travel while in the city. There are plenty of international car rental companies within the terminal to give you a good rate. When you are ready and set for the adventure, here are some places you should stop by and take a peek.

• The Old Town - it is loved because of its chic Spanish layout which puts the market area right in the middle of the town. Though earthquakes have frequented Ecuador, the town still remains standing and as you hunt through in the Quito International Airport rental, you will discover these hidden gems; Palacio Presidencial and Palacio de Gobierno.
• Souvenirs at La Ronda - how else will your folk back at home know you were in Quito. La Ronda is part of the colonial buildings that were constructed from dried bricks. The colonial buildings were repossessed and renovated and the ones in La Ronda specialize in selling souvenirs of all sorts. Two other colonial houses you should visit in the area include Casa de Benalcazar and Casa de Sucre.
• Town Markets - the major markets in the area are Otavalo and Cotacachi. There is so much you can get here like textile on sale, clothing, fresh meat and vegetables, fruits, home furnishings everything! You will probably need to park your car hire nearby if you are planning to come out of there with loads of baskets.
• Cotopaxi National Reserve - in the valley of volcano south of Quito is the Cotopaxi National reserve. Quite a drive in your rental but the trip will be worth it once you come face to face with cougars, Llamas, the Marsupial mice, Andean Foxes and lots of birds.

There is more you can find in the amazing city of Quito if you just make that choice of booking your flight to Quito International airport.
