CumbayĆ” is a few miles outside of downtown Quito, so we imagine youāll be doing a fair bit of driving. If youāre planning to use CumbayĆ” as a base from which to explore the city and its surroundings, opt for a smaller car. Thereās nothing like a compact for maneuvering into those tight downtown parking lots. Alternatively, if youāre moving away from the bright lights and slow traffic, book something with a little more power and storage. Not many travelers regret splashing out that little bit extra on a premium or a full-size car.
