Important information about Santiago car rentals

A trip to sunny Santiago would almost be incomplete if you didn’t stop by some of the most iconic sites in Chile, such as Casa Museo La Chascona, Cerro San Cristobal, and the Sky Costanera, all of which can be easily reached by car rentals in Santiago. With your car rental, you can cruise through Autopista del Sol and Autopista Central Freeways, which are some of the major roads connecting the different places in Santiago. A car rental also gives you a bit more freedom and flexibility because you get to be on the road at your own time, not having to stick to bus and train schedules. If you’re sold on getting rental cars in Santiago, there are over ten rental car locations from which you can get any car that you want, from electric cars to passenger vans and luxury car rentals. The parking conditions are very good in the city and parking won't be a problem for your passenger van rental.

Is it worthwhile renting a car while visiting Santiago?

Despite being very walkable with pedestrian walkways and crossings all around town, you still stand to enjoy your tour of the city a lot more when you have a Santiago car rental. This is because traffic isn’t prevalent as with other cities in Chile, and you can get in and out of the city with ease as you go on to explore other places out of town such as the Chile Safari Park, Regional Museum of Rancagua, and Parque Cataluna all of which are located in Rancagua, a one hour drive from Santiago. When it comes to parking in Santiago, most free street parking spaces are reserved for residents, but there are also loads of parking lots around town where you can leave your car rentals in Santiago.

What different driving laws should I keep in mind when driving in Santiago?

Before hitting the road with your car rentals in Santiago, make an effort to go through the unique driving laws that apply to that city by getting information from the local department of motor vehicles. The first thing you ought to know is that unlike some other states in the US where you can listen to music on your headset while you drive, it is illegal in Chile, and you can only use your mobile phone in hands-free mode. Another thing worth noting is that in Santiago, all the main roads have a single lane reserved only for buses and taxis. The lane is marked with a yellow line, and it would be illegal to cross that line with your car rentals.

What kind of driver’s license do you need to rent a car in Santiago?

For you to get a cheap car rental in Santiago, you have to produce a driver’s license from your home country. The license has to be valid throughout the rental agreement period and should have a photo ID. There are also age requirements whereby anyone under the age of 20 is not able to rent a car. The rental company will need to see a credit card from a major company in the driver’s name. Some companies usually ask for an international driver’s permit, so be sure to have that in hand, especially if your license is written in a language that does not use the Roman alphabet.
