Car Rental at San Felipe Airport (SSD)

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Chile, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
