Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santiago car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal contains all the specifics about this. In nearly all situations, total refunds are provided if a prepaid reservation is canceled at least six hours before the pickup time. It's a good idea to read your rental policy to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Santiago?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many visitors to Santiago. With exceptional mileage and easy parking and maneuverability, they're perfect for cruising around the city. A compact is slightly roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
