The rental company
Motor Home Time, from small campervan to family low-profile
Among the rental companies present in Argentina, Motor Home Time stands out for the breadth of its range. It includes the Charito campervan for two, the four-berth Pampero, 4x4s with rooftop tents (Puma, Patagonia RTT), a camper unit on a 4x4 pick-up (Patagonia Camper) and the Aconcagua low-profile, which accommodates six people.
The network has 9 departure cities. In Buenos Aires, the depot is at kilometre 41 of Autovía 2, outside the city. The other departures are spread between the North (Salta, at the airport, Iguazú, Córdoba), the Andes (Mendoza, Bariloche) and Patagonia (Trelew, El Calafate, Ushuaia).
CoolDrive has only observed offers with limited mileage from this rental company. The excess varies by model: €1,500 for the Charito, €2,000 for the Puma and Patagonia 4x4s, €2,200 for the Pampero Evo and €2,500 for the Aconcagua.
Our verdict: a good choice for finding the right vehicle size for your group, with moderate excesses on the small models. On the other hand, limited mileage weighs on long Argentine itineraries, all gearboxes are manual and the fit-out of some models remains basic: compare them before choosing. The cancellation and security deposit terms deserve a careful read.

Our view
Motor Home Time: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Motor Home Time is ideal if…
- You are travelling as a family or with friends as six: the Aconcagua offers six seats and six berths
- You are travelling as a couple and a simple campervan like the Charito is enough for you
- You like sleeping in a rooftop tent and driving a 4x4 off paved roads
- You are flying into Salta and want to collect the vehicle there
- You prefer a moderate excess: €1,500 observed on the smallest model
Motor Home Time is not ideal if…
- You are planning very long distances, from Salta to Ushuaia: mileage is limited
- You can only drive with an automatic gearbox
- You want to depart from Puerto Madryn, Río Gallegos or San Martín de los Andes: Ruta Sur offers departures there
- You want to pick up the vehicle in central Buenos Aires: the depot is outside the city
- You expect a premium finish and an automatic gearbox
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Motor Home Time
-
Work out your mileage before booking
The Motor Home Time offers observed include a mileage allowance. In Argentina, a three-week loop easily exceeds several thousand kilometres. Estimate your route, compare it with the allowance stated in the offer and look at the price per extra kilometre: this is often what makes the difference to the final budget.
-
4x4 or 4x2: start from your itinerary
The name of each model shows whether it is a 4x4 (Puma, Patagonia) or a 4x2 (Charito, Pampero, Aconcagua). For paved roads and large cities, a 4x2 is fine. If you are aiming for the tracks of Ruta 40 or the Andean passes, a 4x4 is more reassuring. Check the drivetrain in the vehicle sheet.
-
Think about the wind with a rooftop tent
With the RTT models, you sleep on the roof, in a tent to be unfolded every evening. It is quick once you get the hang of it, but in Patagonia gusts and the night-time cold can catch you out. If you are travelling in the southern spring or autumn, the Patagonia Camper unit offers more comfortable shelter.
-
Plan your arrival at the Buenos Aires depot
The Buenos Aires depot is located at kilometre 41 of Autovía 2, in Centro Agrícola El Pato, far from the centre. Plan a taxi or a transfer, and check the vehicle handover times in your confirmation. If your trip starts elsewhere, a direct departure from Salta, Mendoza or Ushuaia avoids this journey.
-
Read the cancellation terms
The cancellation and security deposit rules are specific to the rental company and may be stricter than you imagine. They are shown in the offer details: take the time to read them before confirming, and put your questions to our experts if anything remains unclear.
What travellers ask
Your questions about Motor Home Time
How much does a Motor Home Time hire cost in Argentina?
Based on 15 days, the prices observed by CoolDrive in October 2026 put the Motor Home Time campervan from €110 per day in July and October, with a median of close to €270. For an Aconcagua low-profile, allow at least €282 per day and a median of around €375 to €380, mandatory fees included. Your dates give the exact price.
Which Motor Home Time model should you choose?
For two and on paved roads, the Charito is the simplest. The Pampero offers four berths for a small family. For 4x4 adventure, the Puma and the Patagonia RTT sleep in a rooftop tent, while the Patagonia Camper adds an enclosed camper unit. The Aconcagua accommodates up to six travellers.
Is mileage unlimited with Motor Home Time?
No: in the Motor Home Time offers observed by CoolDrive in Argentina, mileage is limited. The included allowance and the price of extra kilometres are shown in each offer. For a route that links Mendoza, Bariloche and El Calafate, do the maths before choosing: Ruta Sur, in our surveys, includes unlimited mileage.
Where are Motor Home Time’s depots in Argentina?
Motor Home Time offers 9 departure cities: Buenos Aires (at kilometre 41 of Autovía 2), Salta (at the airport), Iguazú, Córdoba, Mendoza, Bariloche, Trelew, El Calafate and Ushuaia. The precise addresses are shown on this page and in your confirmation. The departures in Patagonia let you start directly in the south without crossing the country.
Should you choose Motor Home Time or Ruta Sur?
It all depends on your group and your itinerary. Motor Home Time covers more formats, from the two-seat campervan to the six-seat low-profile, with excesses from €1,500 to €2,500 and limited mileage. Ruta Sur only hires out 4x4s, departs from 13 cities and includes unlimited mileage in our observed offers. The search engine shows both.

The quality of the vehicle was limited, with basic comfort considering the excessive price. Good rating for customer relations, but there was a lack of verification of the rented vehicles.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Motor Home Time campervan and motorhome hire in Argentina
Why book Motor Home Time with CoolDrive?
CoolDrive shows you the offers from Motor Home Time and Ruta Sur in a single search, at the final price with mandatory fees. You immediately see the mileage allowance and the excess for each model. Our team can then point you to the right vehicle size, the right depot and the extras that suit your route in Argentina.
What is the excess with Motor Home Time?
In our October 2026 surveys, the excess depends on the vehicle: €1,500 for the Charito, €2,000 for the Puma and the Patagonia Camper, €2,200 for the Pampero Evo and €2,500 for the Aconcagua models. The security deposit and how it is blocked are specified in the offer; check that your credit card covers them.
Can you go to Chile with a Motor Home Time vehicle?
Chile is very close to Mendoza, Bariloche or El Calafate, and many travellers consider it. The authorisation to leave the country, its cost and the documents to show at the border come under the rental company’s terms: check them in the offer and tell our experts about your plans before booking.
Can you do a one-way hire with Motor Home Time?
Between Salta and Ushuaia, a trip without returning to the starting point is tempting. Whether it is available and what it costs depend on the offer and the pair of cities. Enter a different return city when searching to see the vehicles concerned. Bear in mind that the limited mileage also applies to this type of trip.
Is a 4x2 enough for travelling in Argentina?
For Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Mendoza or the Atlantic coast, the main roads are paved and a 4x2 such as the Pampero or the Aconcagua is fine. Some sections of Ruta 40 and many park access roads are still gravel: for these itineraries, a Puma or Patagonia 4x4 offers more leeway and peace of mind.
What are Motor Home Time’s cancellation terms?
The cancellation terms are set by Motor Home Time and may include fees that increase as the departure date approaches. They are detailed in the offer before booking and repeated in your confirmation. Read them carefully, especially if your flight dates are not yet final, and ask our experts if in doubt.
