Cheap Chilean Rent a Car Car Hire in Concepcion

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

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.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.
