How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santiago?
You'll need to be 21 and over to take the wheel of a rental car in Santiago. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Santiago?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santiago?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Spain — the same as in the States. Road-tripping around Santiago won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the local traffic rules.

Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list excellent options from a range of leading suppliers.
Where can I find a Santiago car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Santiago supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
