Renting a car offers you the most freedom and comfort, as buses in Chile can become very crowded. If you’re planning on sticking to the cities, renting a car in Chile will be just fine. However, if you’re planning on driving around the desert or the mountainous areas of the country, you’ll need an SUV with high tire clearance and four-wheel drive to tackle the rough driving terrain and the unpredictable conditions of the roads in these areas. For those traveling to Chile with kids under the age of four, be advised that you’ll either need to bring a car seat with you or add one on to your rental car reservation through your provider. Children under four must be secured in a car seat to legally travel in a vehicle. Children ages four to twelve don’t need a car seat, but they can only ride in the back seat. If you’re planning on exploring the neighboring country of Argentina, you’ll be able to do so, provided that your specific rental car company allows it and that you give them enough notice to prepare your car and documents. Make sure to check that the company allows you to cross the border before starting the rental process; this will help you avoid hassles during pickup. 25% of our users found a car hire in Chile for R629 or less Small hire cars in Chile are around 33% cheaper than other car types, on average See more tips FAQs about hiring a car in Chile How much does it cost to hire a car in Chile?
