Car Rental in Ecuador - New Market Study Published

Car rental companies in Ecuador continued to benefit from the Quito government’s traffic restriction plan known as pico y placa. Under this scheme, 20% of vehicles are prohibited from driving through central Quito on weekdays during peak traffic hours depending on the last number of the car’s licence plate. In 2014, traffic was restricted between 07.00hrs and 09.30hrs, and between 16.00hrs and 19.30hrs. Drivers who violate this policy face fines, causing many affluent car owners to rent vehicles on the day that their own car is banned. The practice of renting was so common that there were occasionally shortages of rental cars in Quito at certain times of the day on specific days of the week. The practice of renting a car to evade the pico y placa scheme especially benefited small, independent car rental companies that were able to undercut the prices of international chains. In May 2014, the fine was lowered but the decrease in the fine did not seem to lower interest in car rentals.
