Between $320.000 and $1.200.000 COP per day, depending on the vehicle. That rate already covers SOAT and full coverage insurance, up-to-date maintenance and delivery wherever you are. The only things you pay separately are fuel, and tolls if you leave the city.

Rates per vehicle and how far each one goes
The daily price is only half the story: a cheap car that drinks fuel can end up costing more than a higher-end one on a long trip. That is why we publish each vehicle's fuel economy next to its rate.

Questions about pricing
Our rates run from $320.000 COP per day for an executive sedan up to $1.200.000 COP for an armored SUV. That price already includes mandatory SOAT insurance, full coverage, up-to-date maintenance and delivery in Medellín or at the airport. The minimum rental is 2 days, so the lowest total to get started is $640.000 COP.
The daily rate includes the vehicle with SOAT and full coverage insurance, current maintenance, and free delivery and pick-up in Medellín, the metro area and José María Córdova airport. Fuel and tolls are paid separately if you leave the city. We do not charge for kilometers driven.
It depends on the vehicle and how much you drive. With regular gasoline at $16.211 COP per gallon and diesel at $11.601 COP (mayo de 2026), a sedan doing about 50 km per gallon spends roughly $97.266 COP over 300 kilometers, while a large SUV can double that. The calculator above estimates it with each car's real consumption figure.
The daily rate is flat no matter how many days you rent: we do not run tiered discount tables, so the price you calculate is the price you pay. For long stays, message us and we will look at your case.
