Santiago, Chile: Hatchback Rental
The most popular models representing the mini, compact, and economy car segments in Santiago are: Chevrolet Cobalt, Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent, Renault Modus, Pontiac Matiz and others.

When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Chile vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.

If your routes in Chile are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.

At the rental office in Santiago, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a safe and great trip to Santiago!

Driving Advices for Chile – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
The maximum allowed speed in the territory of settlements is 70 km/h, and on country roads it is allowed to increase the speed up to 120 km/h. The maximum permitted speed is usually mentioned on road signs; it is recommended to follow the rules because the speed of vehicles is strictly monitored in Chile.
The police are always very polite when speaking to drivers, especially to foreign ones. In no case should drivers argue and try to convince police officers not to issue a fine – in Chile such actions will certainly be interpreted as an attempt to give a bribe. You should do as the police tell you and provide them with all necessary documents at first request.
The cost of fuel is quite high in the country and is usually US$1.5 per liter. In addition to the unleaded petrol, drivers can often buy diesel fuel at local petrol stations.
