Question 1

Is it cheaper to hire a car for a week at Punta Arenas Airport, PUQ

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it can be cheaper to rent a car for a week rather than for a shorter period, but it's better to double-check while booking.

Question 2

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Punta Arenas Airport, PUQ?

Accepted Answer

All rental companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your rental request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international rentals for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for rentals 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 rental counter.

Question 3

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 6

What is a one-way fee?

Accepted Answer

A one-way fee is charged if you return your car rental to a different location from where you picked it up. This fee covers the cost of transporting the car back to its original location. The fee amount varies based on the specific locations involved.

Question 7

Can someone else drive my rental car?
