What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santiago?
Start your road trip the right way by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have.

Can I drive in Santiago with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
