Good to know
Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car hire in Chile. Rules can differ, and added costs or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to browse your options.
Add a car seat to your Los Angeles car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Rules can change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest choice.
You'll need to bring a few things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card with enough funds for the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will flag any other must-haves.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Chile.
Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
In Chile, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.03%. If you're planning to have a drink or two, pass the keys to someone else or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.
One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make things easy by driving outside rush hours in general.
