Nestled in the heart of Chile's Lake District, Puerto Montt serves as a gateway to the country's southern wonders. If you're flying into El Tepual International Airport and considering renting a car, here's your essential guide.

1. Car Rental Agencies at Puerto Montt Airport:

  • Hertz
  • Avis
  • Budget
  • Europcar as well as local providers. Rental desks are conveniently located in the arrivals hall.  You are able to book cars from all of these agencies here on this portal.

2. Pre-booking and Documentation:

  • Advance Reservations: Especially during peak tourist seasons, it's recommended to book your vehicle in advance to secure your desired car type and potentially get better rates.

  • Required Documents:

    • A valid driving license from your home country.
    • Passport or ID for verification.
    • A credit card in the name of the primary driver for the security deposit.

3. Insurance Considerations:

  • Standard Coverage: Rentals usually come with basic third-party liability insurance.

  • Comprehensive Protection: Given the diverse terrains you might explore around Puerto Montt, it's wise to consider additional coverage like a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW).

  • Be Clear on Deductibles: Familiarize yourself with the deductible amounts you'd be responsible for in case of vehicle damage.

4. Driving and Safety Tips:

  • Initial Check: Before departing from the airport, inspect the vehicle for any existing damage and ensure the rental agency documents it.

  • Local Roads: While main roads are generally in good condition, some of the more remote areas may have gravel roads. Depending on your itinerary, consider renting a suitable vehicle, such as an SUV.

  • Weather Conditions: The region can be rainy, so always check the weather forecast and be cautious when driving on wet roads.

  • Parking: When in Puerto Montt or other towns, always use designated parking spaces and avoid leaving valuables in the car.

5. Returning the Vehicle:

  • Fuel Policy: Most agencies operate on a "full-to-full" policy, meaning you should return the car with a full tank. There are several gas stations in and around Puerto Montt for refueling.

  • Vehicle Inspection: When returning, ensure the agency checks the car in your presence to confirm no additional damage.

6. Exploring the Region:

One of the primary advantages of renting a car in Puerto Montt is the freedom to explore the stunning Lake District at your own pace. Some recommended drives include:

  • Chiloé Island: Accessible by ferry, this island offers a unique blend of culture, architecture, and natural beauty.
  • Petrohué Falls: A scenic drive leading you to breathtaking waterfalls set against the backdrop of the Osorno Volcano.
  • Puelo Lake: Pristine waters surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for a day of relaxation.

In Conclusion:

Renting a car from Puerto Montt Airport is a practical option for travelers keen on exploring the scenic beauty of southern Chile without being bound by tour schedules. Equip yourself with the necessary information, drive safely, and immerse yourself in the region's splendors.
