TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in Argentina, you may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States.

Driving in Argentina is generally more dangerous than driving in the United States. By comparison, drivers in Argentina tend to be aggressive, especially in Buenos Aires, and often ignore traffic regulations. An Argentine or international driving permit is required to drive in Argentina, but please verify with local authorities for the most current information.

Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the websites of Argentina's national tourist office and national roadways office (available only in Spanish).
