Top tips when hiring a car in Chile

  • Understand Local Traffic Laws: Familiarize yourself with Chile's driving regulations, including speed limits and rules about seat belts and mobile phone use. Note that in Chile, you drive on the right-hand side of the road, and it's important to be aware of local road signs and signals. Check out our Drive Smart Guide to Driving in Chile. 

  • Check for Insurance Coverage: Ensure your rental includes the necessary insurance coverage for your journey. This often comprises Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection. Consider additional coverage options for greater peace of mind, but also check if your credit card offers rental car insurance as part of its benefits.

  • Inspect Your Rental Car Before Departure: Before leaving the rental lot, thoroughly inspect your vehicle for any existing damage and ensure all its features work correctly. Take photos of any scratches or dents to have documented proof, so you're not held responsible for pre-existing damage.

  • Be Prepared for Toll Roads: Many highways around Santiago and throughout Chile have tolls. Keep some local currency handy for these charges, or inquire about an electronic toll collection system (TAG) with your rental company if you plan on using toll roads frequently.

  • Consider a GPS or Local SIM Card: While exploring Chile's diverse landscapes, having a GPS can be invaluable, especially in remote areas where cell service might be spotty. Renting a GPS from the car hire company or using a smartphone with a local SIM card for navigation can help you stay on course and enhance your travel experience.
