Uruguay: Best Recommended Car Rental:
Hello everyone! Can anyone recommend a good car rental company that is not Punta Car? I just read their contract and its awful. Sounds like I have to pay for absolutely everything, even when they provide me with a cars that has loads of issues. They don't seem to want to be responsible for anything at all. It's absurd!! Thanks!

Uruguay: Advice on Shipping Large Item from Uruguay to US:
Contact a company called Autogiro and ask to talk to Julio Acosta. Tell him that you are recommended by Colette Van Der Watt. His phone number is 2924-1577. They specialize in moving household good and single personal belongings too. Please know that the URU law says that if you're not a citizen of this country it is very difficult to ship items abroad. Stupid law but that's what my friend Colette wants me to let you know. However, please talk it over with Julio. He'll give you accurate information about this issue. Good luck!

Uruguay: Fraudulent pics of rental units:
Dear Expats!
A few days ago I posted my experience since I arrived to Montevideo. Again today, I like address this matter today, particularly for all those about to arrive to Uruguay, as well as those planing to. Yesterday, I sat again at my computer with my husband, to search for a long term rental unit where we can move to after we vacate this a'apartment of hell" we arrived to last Monday and unfortunately paid to staying at until the 30th of this month. The owner of this unit at "URBAN HERITAGE", a woman by the name of Olenka, has posted units for rent in AirB&B and VRBO with fraudulent pictures that would make you believe that that's what you're going to get. That is what happened to us. We rented and paid from the USA for a unit on a pedestrian street in the heart of Ciudad Vieja, which hoped would be peaceful and quiet due to the lack of cars and buses and cabs and so on, but Ms. Olenka didn't bother to tell us that there's a building under construction right across our unit. The workers start hammering, drilling and shouting every day at 7:30 in the morning, after they arrive to work in their motorbikes. Trucks are constantly driving in and out to drop building supplies and is "impossible" to sleep passed that time. In addition to that, the Olenka woman, also mingled pictures of different units, making us believe that we were getting a larger unit but only found out that we paid and got a studio when we got here from the airport. We had no separate bedroom, We got one big large room with everything in it. Yesterday, browsing for another apartment to move into at the of this month, we came across others rentals that also have pics of rooms that do not even match the description. It is all designed to fool foreigners. DO NOT TRUST LOCAL AGENCIES!!! When possible, try to deal with foreign owners directly thru this very site. I established contact with a lot of very nice and honest people who helped us find a nice unit at a logic monthly fee. Everyone else is asking much too much money for dark, depressing, fulthy and dingy looking units that are unlivable. So BE CAREFUL!!! My husband and I arrived 1 week and 1 day ago and we're up at 7:30 with the workers across the road; we have to bed for two more towels which we still didn't get, and my husband's still very ill due to the lack of heating and necessary hot water in this unit to keep us both warm. IT IS PATHETIC!! If you're coming to Montevideo and are looking for an apartment, post your request in this site and lots you'll start getting help from lots of expats on your request. I learned that there are many foreigners living here who own units for rent but live abroad, but their units are much better equipped and furnished that many of the local owner have. Also, they price is reasonably unlike the locals who want much too mucho money for the prison cells they call "apartments". If you intend to go to Punta del Este, send me an private email to ersuni25@hotmail.com and I'll send you the contact information of a German Real Estate agent who is very honest and will not try to screw you.
REMEMBER I WARNED YOU!!
Good luck to you all!

Uruguay: Searching a genuine and "honest" real estate agency:
Hallo, friends!
If anyone knows of a "reliable", "honest" and "genuine" real estate agency that is registered with the Ministry of Tourism in Uruguay, please let me know. I'm desperate looking for a long term rental unit in the Montevideo area and everything I find in AirB&B is "awful" as well as most of the listings in VRBO. I speak German too, I was recommended a very good agency from a German couple, but unfortunately, they only sell/rent in Punta del Este and we don't want to go that far just yet. We like to look in this immediate area before we even take the trouble of getting on a bus to ride all the way over to that other end. Ehrlichkeit ist ein Muss!! Thank you all! Danke each allen!!
