How old do you have to be to rent a car in South America?
Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in South America. Be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in South America?
Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in South America?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then secure your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in South America or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a South America car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in South America often depends on the rental company you select. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape any surprise charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in South America?
For a secure, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers customers 24-hour emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your South America vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
