Rental Cars
For renting a car, you have to be at least 21, present an international driver's license, and leave a blank payment slip with your credit card number as a guarantee. In addition to the major international agencies, there are often also local companies at the airports.
The rates are relatively high; but lower in Santiago than in the provinces. With smaller companies, you can try haggling; expect a discount for a long-term rental. A simple subcompact is between USD 25.00 and USD 40.00 per day. The price should include free mileage (kilometraje libre), insurance (seguro), usually with deductible, and value-added tax (IVA). Also inquire about roadside assistance, parts service and liability in case of accident. It usually costs more to take a rental car across national borders, and it requires additional paperwork and insurance; not all rental companies offer this service.
