Cheap Routes Car Hire in Santiago

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

If you are travelling to Santiago and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Routes have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

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.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

When hiring a car in Santiago, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Routes. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Routes in Santiago. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
