Rents
Apartment rents, as everywhere, depend on the neighborhood
and the standard. In Santiago, a furnished apartment with
one or two rooms in a good neighborhood as Providencia
or Las Condes will set you back between 350 and 800 USD
per month, plus expenses. Apart from these (water, electricity,
gas, telephone etc.), you have to be aware of "gastos
comunes" (common expenses, between 30 and 200
USD) which cover the maintainance and security of the
building and sometimes include the (hot) water and/or
the heating.
In most furnished apartments, you will be expected to
stay at least two or three months
(except our short-term
options) and you are expected to pay a security deposit
(a month's rent) which is returned at the end of your
stay.
Our agency's fee is a
percentage of a month's rent (excluding expenses), depending
on the length of your stay. We offer discounts
of up to 20 per cent to students with ISIC membership
card. Services

Procedure
Your inquiry is free of charge. You may choose one or several apartments from our online database or ask for recommendations. We advise you on the best options for you. When you decide for an option,
we will ask you to pay in advance the security deposit
and the agency's fee.
This enables us to make a formal reservation
for you. Please note that the only way to confirm a
reservation is by sending this deposit. Once the wire
transfer has arrived on our bank account or once we
have charged your credit card, your reservation is binding,
and the security deposit can be claimed by the landlord
in case of no-show. After your arrival, you sign the
contract directly with the landlord (a ContactChile
representative assists you) and pay the first month's
rent.
You may send money
using one of the following methods:
- Credit card (Visa, Master, AmEx, Diners), add 3%
- Wiring to a bank account in Chile or in Germany (USD / EUR)
- Western Union (your local currency)
If for any reason none of these alternatives work, we can try to hold the reservation but without guarantee.
Another option is to get to Santiago first and have a look personally at several vacancies, and then decide. Depending on the time of the year, there might be less vacancies than if you make a reservation in advance.
We also arrange a pick-up service
at the airport. Airport
