Cheap AVIS Car Hire in Punta Arenas

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Punta Arenas, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
