What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santiago?
For a stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision damage protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides 24-hour emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Santiago ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Santiago with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
