Grab your suitcase, stroll out of arrivals at Punta Del Este Airport (PDP-Capitan Corbeta CA Curbelo Intl.), and pick up your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Maldonado, around 7 miles from the terminal, go for something small. A compact car with good handling will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with so many things to see, like the beautiful sandy shores of the surrounding area, you may want to make a few pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
