Question 1

Why do I need a credit card to hire a car at Arica Airport?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the hire and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the hire period. The card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure that the renter is financially responsible for the vehicle. In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check.

Question 2

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Arica Airport, ARI?

Accepted Answer

All hire companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your hire request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international hires for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for hires abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by buying Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website or opting for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter.

Question 3

Can someone else drive my hire car?

Accepted Answer

For insurance coverage to remain valid, any additional drivers must be included in your hire agreement. If someone who is not listed drives the car, it could void the hire contract, and the insurance provider may refuse to cover any damage to the vehicle.

Question 4

Can a foreigner hire a car at Arica Airport, ARI?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a foreigner can typically hire a car in most major cities around the world, including Arica Airport, ARI, as long as they meet the hire company's requirements.

In some countries, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may also be required for foreigners. It's best to check with the local car hire company or their website for specific details and to understand any additional documents or conditions that may apply.

Question 5

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Do I need a valid passport to hire a car at Arica Airport?

Accepted Answer

A valid passport is typically required for international customers renting a vehicle. For domestic renters, a valid driver’s license is usually sufficient.

Always verify the specific identification requirements with the hire company, as they can vary based on the country and region.

Question 10

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.

Question 11

Can I use a debit card to hire a car?
