Top tips for hiring a car at Santiago Airport

  • A good way to move around the metropolitan area and Santiago is through a car rental at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport (SCL). Compared to alternative transport modes like taking the bus from SCL airport or a taxi, a Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport car rental allows you to navigate to locations not easily accessible by the bus. Moreover, the cumulative cost of a car rental is much cheaper than taxis during your stay.
  • Travelers can book a car rental at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport through KAYAK a few days before travel. KAYAK conveniently allows you to select a fitting rental from the comfort of your home so that your transit at the airport can be quick. Booking your rental via KAYAK also gives you advantages like free cancellation of the rental up to 48 hours before pick up, and you can save up to 40%.
  • Renters should return their rental within the period stipulated in the rental agreement contract. The return should be during your provider’s operating time and to their designated car lot at the terminal building. Ensure your rental has not incurred any damages and is clean to avoid extra charges when dropping it off. Some SCL car hire agencies like SIXT also allow after-hours drop offs, so you can opt to make returns after their operating hours.
  • Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport is one of the busiest Airports in Latin America. It is also situated in a busy city, meaning travelers can incur long TSA wait times and a longer time transiting the airport. The most difficult times to transit through the airport include the months of January and February. During these times, expect at least 1 hour between arrival and driving out of the airport with your rental.
  • Book your car hire at Santiago Airport at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I had a really bad experience. They gave me an old car with a lot of damage, which was dirty inside and outside. It smelled like gas inside the car all the time, and the front desk staff were rude and unprofessional. When I rented the car, they told me to pick it up at one address, but once I got there, they told me to go to another location. I had to pay for two Ubers just to get the car. I also had to return the car one day early, but they didn’t want to refund me for the extra day. They didn’t explain the contract to me. I had to leave $1,000 as a deposit because she wasn’t able to verify if I had the insurance that I purchased through Ace Rental Car, even though I showed her the receipt and emails. Really bad service.

I was not informed that in the town where I was to pick up the car there is no such thing as Ace car rental. I spent 2 frustrating hours in the airport in puerto Montt before figuring out that Ace is Known by another name. 😠

Pickup and dropoff at the rental location was quick however we did have to wait 30± mins to get the van from the airport to take us to the off-site lot. I was given a Hyundai accent as an intermediate vehicle. I would normally consider this compact class but they insisted it was correct. I'm not sure who was right but it was smaller than I anticipated.

The process to check out the car took too much time. I was able to show them my prepurchased insurance through Kayak. No problems there. I change the reservation from the airport to the hotel. No problem there with increased charges. They meet you at the airport to pick you up with a sign. They used my What’s app app to contact me. Don’t disregard that. There is a person watching the app to respond. They upgraded us for the inconvenience. Person at the desk spoke English well. Nice new, maintained car. Streets in Chile are very good and cell tower will run quickly keep you informed on your maps apps. I would rent a car in Chile again.

Met at airport by a Hertz employee with a sign and brought to the offsite location via a third party shuttle. They had a problem with their system and weren't able to enter my Hertz Gold # so had to give all. All worked, great car, kind staff but between shuttle and info, took >45min to get on the road.

I was charged for a car wash. The car was dusty when returned but nothing out of the ordinary. When renting it was not easy to discover that the road tolls outside of Santiago were not included and that there was a 25% markup on the automatically read tolls. There was also an unexpected admin charge. So the daily rate for the car was artificially low. The car was new and quite luxurious for the class, opel Corsa, but the clutch was iffy even though the car had only 13000 kms on it.

Everything was ok, until our rental broke down due to electrical problem and stopped on a busy street. We waited for more than 3 hours for the tow truck to take the car and another 2 hours+ plus call back to the USA for the replacement car due to language problem. We ended up not pick up the replacement because it’s on the other side of the town and op for refund. In all fairness the local car rental company do whatever in their power to smooth down the situation but not effective.

The employees were helpful, however. the quality of the vehicle was "bad". After driving for 150 kilometers in Chile, the car started to have motor noises. The next day I took the car to an agent at my destination city (Talca). They did not explain the noises and I received a new vehicle. This vehicle did not have any problems. When I return the vehicle at the airport, I was charged for a crack in the windshield. Alamo employee informed me that after a phone call to the alamo agent in Talca, He was informed that no crack was on the windshield when I received the vehicle in Talca. I did not inspect the second vehicle, I cannot confirm the statement from Alamo in Talca, however, when I originally picked up the vehicle at the airport, I was informed that the vehicle was in "excellent" condition. This was not true. How do I know the condition of the second car, after the "excellent" previous condition.

They charged me extra because they didn’t have the car I requested (needed automatic transmission) and would not price match - ended up paying a ridiculous amount for 3 days. Got a notification that there was an AirTag tracking us and found one right in the glove compartment. Overall not a good experience.

Pros:

Staff friendly and helpful. Easy to find the car rental counter and car.

Cons:

The car had a lot of miles on it and had some mechanical problems. Rug pads had been oiled and we had to flip them over otherwise they were super slippery and it was difficult to drive.

The place did not exist. There was no one to call, including Kayak rep. Could not even cancel. Ended up paying $100 for insurance of thin air. It was a scam, and so is Kayak.
