For those who wish to brave the bumpy Bolivian roads on their own, cars are available for rent in larger cities. Try near (or at) the airport for services such as Avis, Budget, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz and National Car. There are local companies as well, but it might be best to stick with a national chain.

You don’t need a car if you’re just sticking around the city, but if you’re looking to roadtrip, this is definitely a possibility. Note however, It’s a good idea to apply for an international driver’s license before you leave home, and also make sure your traveler’s insurance covers costs relating to car rental. If it doesn't, check to see what the rental company provides.
