UVF Airport Car Rental — Your Car Is Waiting in Arrivals
UVF is El Salvador International Airport, 45 minutes south of San Salvador. We hand you the keys in the terminal itself, so you skip the shuttle, the off-site lot and the counter entirely.
UVF, SAL, Comalapa — the same airport
If your ticket says UVF, that is El Salvador International Airport San Óscar Arnulfo Romero, also written as SAL and known locally as Comalapa. It is the country's only international airport and sits about 45 minutes from the capital and 30 minutes from the surf coast.
That distance is exactly why an airport rental matters here: there is no train, and a taxi to La Libertad or San Salvador costs a meaningful share of what a day of car rental costs.
We coordinate with your flight number. If you land at 6 a.m. or your connection is delayed by four hours, the handover moves with you at no charge.

UVF airport car rental — frequent questions
Is UVF the same as SAL?
Yes. El Salvador International Airport appears as UVF in some booking systems and SAL in others. Locally it is called Comalapa. It is one airport, about 45 km from San Salvador.
Where exactly do we meet?
Just outside the arrivals exit. We send you the precise meeting point on WhatsApp the day before, with a photo so it is unmistakable.
What if my flight is delayed?
Nothing changes and nothing is charged. We track your flight number, so the handover simply shifts to your real arrival time.
Is there a fee for airport delivery?
No. Delivery and collection at UVF are included in the price of the rental.
How long does the pickup take?
Usually 10 to 15 minutes, most of it spent walking through the car together. There is no paperwork queue because your booking is already complete.
Can I return the car at the airport too?
Yes. We collect at the terminal on your departure day, timed to your check-in.
