10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Santiago

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting specific vehicle types and features. Whether you require an SUV for extra room, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to identify the best vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower prices and benefit from greater availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most cost-effective option. Other policies may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable, but ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but this additional cost might be justified by the convenience it offers.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies accept only credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you prevent unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when making a reservation with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is required to rent a vehicle.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santiago?

The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take the time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Santiago?

If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Santiago with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
