Question 1

What should I do if I damage a car rental car in Santiago?

Accepted Answer

If you damage a rent car in Santiago, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) typically covers the cost of repairs. To avoid additional expenses, make sure your insurance policy includes zero excess coverage. If your CDW has an excess limit, you'll be responsible for paying part of the repair costs, which is usually deducted from the deposit you provided when renting the car. For specific details on coverage and potential charges, it's best to check your rental agreement and insurance policy before you drive.

Question 2

Can I rent a car in Santiago and return it to a different location??

Accepted Answer

Yes, many car rental companies allow you to pick up a car in Santiago and drop it off at another location. For example: Alamo, Enterprise, Euro Rent-a-Car. This is known as a one-way car rental and is ideal for travelers who do not plan to return to their starting point. When searching for deals with VoyageCopilot, simply unselect 'Return to same location' to see one-way options available.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 4

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is applied when you return your rental car to a different location than where you originally picked it up. This fee helps cover the cost of relocating the vehicle back to its starting point. The amount of the one-way fee varies depending on the locations involved and the rental company's policies. Be sure to check the fee details when booking your rental to understand any additional charges that may apply.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

These include being at least 21 years old, presenting a valid driver’s license, and providing a major credit card (such as Visa, MasterCard, or Discover) for payment and security purposes. Additionally, proof of insurance or the option to purchase insurance coverage from the rental company may be required.
