Line up your ride with Rosselot, MITTA RENT A CAR or Euro Rent-a-Car. They're some of the most popular providers in the city.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Los Angeles car hire policy, whether you book with Rosselot or another supplier. Some may leave it out of the standard package and offer it as an extra.

Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by provider and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Chile may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you're outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Add a car seat to your Los Angeles car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Rules vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest option.
You'll need to hand over a few things when collecting your rental car: a current driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Your booking will show the full list of what's required.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and turn signals, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Chile.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Chile is 0.03%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
One of the busiest times for traffic in this destination is around 8am. Make life easier by steering clear of rush hours in general.
