Top tips for hiring a car in Chile

  • Although there is a dependable long-distance bus system in Chile, getting around individual cities and traveling to natural attractions in Chile, like the Atacama Desert or the Marble Caves, can be difficult and sometimes even impossible to achieve via public transport. Renting a car offers you the most freedom and comfort, as buses in Chile can become very crowded.
  • If you’re planning on sticking to the cities, renting a car in Chile will be just fine. However, if you’re planning on driving around the desert or the mountainous areas of the country, you’ll need an SUV with high tire clearance and four-wheel drive to tackle the rough driving terrain and the unpredictable conditions of the roads in these areas.
  • For those traveling to Chile with kids under the age of four, be advised that you’ll either need to bring a car seat with you or add one on to your rental car reservation through your provider. Children under four must be secured in a car seat to legally travel in a vehicle. Children ages four to twelve don’t need a car seat, but they can only ride in the back seat.
  • If you’re planning on exploring the neighboring country of Argentina, you’ll be able to do so, provided that your specific rental car company allows it and that you give them enough notice to prepare your car and documents. Make sure to check that the company allows you to cross the border before starting the rental process; this will help you avoid hassles during pickup.

A gallon of petrol costs around 2,450 CLP (3.50 USD), whereas petrol in the US is priced at around 2.50 USD per gallon. Most petrol stations are full-service in Chile, so even though you can pay with a card, make sure you leave a few coins to tip the attendant.
