What to do while in Quito

Quito offers a rare combination of historic architecture with stunning natural beauty. Take some time to explore the historic city center, which is considered one of the best-preserved in the entire world and protected as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Then climb into your vehicle to explore deep into the Andes Mountains. Make time for the drive to Pichincha, an active stratovolcano that sits near the iconic city.

Winter in Quito

Thanks to its proximity to the equator, you will find that winter in Quito is similar to summer in terms of accessibility and outdoor activities. With slightly cooler weather, you can take a tour of historic buildings such as Basilica del Voto Nacional, Catedral de Quito, or Carondelet Palace. All of these are in the historic city center. Take some time to window shop and sit down for a coffee outside their many cafes and restaurants.

We rented a car for almost 3 weeks (Oct/Nov 2024). The service was excellent. Fernando was very helpful and transparent about the options and costs. The car we received was very clean and well-maintained. We didn't have any issues with the vehicle at all. This was our first time renting a car in Quito, and we were initially concerned after reading reviews of other car rental companies. Fortunately, we made the right choice by going with SIXT. They are very professional. After returning the car, there were no unexpected charges, which seems to be a common problem with other companies in Ecuador. We highly recommend SIXT-Ecuador.

The best rental car experience I've had. If you're lucky enough to interact with Cristian you'll be treated to one of the most efficient and pleasant customer service offerings.The car was in fantastic shape -- strong engine and impeccably maintained -- and, again, phenomenal attendance from the staff.

5.0

We had an easy and hassle-free experience. We read reviews of this place before deciding on renting a car (was unsure of renting in Ecuador at all) and it's true: Carolina is incredibly helpful and kind, and no worries if you don't speak Spanish. The car was in fantastic condition and the process was smooth. We were able to take pictures of the car before taking off, and are very happy that we chose to rent with this company. Thank you Carolina!
