How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santiago?
Santiago requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Santiago?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then reserve your ideal ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Santiago or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Santiago car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Santiago. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
