How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santiago?
If you're 18 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Santiago. Be mindful that most rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Check the terms and conditions before booking so there are no surprises when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Santiago?
You'll generally require a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental providers, so be sure to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santiago?
Drivers from the States will feel right at home zipping around Santiago — motorists here drive on the right.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santiago?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of your own rental car for just $17 per day. The second lowest daily price in Santiago was $18. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santiago?
Whether you're planning to hang around Santiago or travel beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Santiago car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Santiago rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's good to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santiago?
Choose collision protection while booking your Santiago rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can rest easy knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. Simply opt in to this plan while making your booking.
Can I drive in Santiago with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you 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 places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
