Cars, driving licences and transport

Answer

Gasoline in Uruguay costs about $2 per liter. In Uruguayan pesos, the cited range was 78–82 pesos per liter, which roughly corresponds to the same estimate in dollars.

For car owners, this is one of the key regular expenses. Even if a trip seems short, the high price per liter quickly affects the monthly budget, especially for daily travel, trips out of town, or using a car instead of public transport.

Therefore, vehicle costs should be considered separately: fuel, parking, maintenance, and possible trips along the coast should not be mixed with the overall transport budget. When planning life in Uruguay, a car increases freedom of movement but significantly raises monthly expenses.
