See the car →Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026; Viator checked November 2026). Operators price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.
Two things the price does not show. FirstDay Patagonia’s listing is titled for the airport, and its description also speaks of a pickup at your hotel in El Calafate (custom pickup allowed), so confirm the pickup point when you book. And neither car includes the park fee, which you pay online for the trails in El Chaltén: ARS 50,000 a day on the general rate from 1 June 2026 (Administración de Parques Nacionales).
