Conditions
Arrival and Delivery
The head office and vehicles' depot are located in Santiago or in Talca, 250 km south of the capital. From the airport to Talca you need approx. 3 hours with public transport (train or bus). You may also take over and drop off the camper at some of the rental stations all over the country listed in the Cost calculator.
For legal reasons, the vehicle will not be delivered the same day you arrive on a long-distance flight because of the considerable higher accident risk. We recommend to stay overnight at a hotel in Santiago or Talca. Next day you can take over the camper and begin your journey well relaxed.
Insurance
All offers contain a vehicle insurance with deductible. The insurance is included in the price. In case of damage to the vehicle you are liable in the amount of the deductible. This is between 1,300 and 1,650 USD depending on the provider.
As limit of indemnity is quite low, we recommend to take an extra liability insurance in your home country or to check if you already have such a protection. Some credit cards contain such additional insurance.
Rental Stations
The rental stations and the depots of the campers or motorhomes are located in Santiago, Talca or Punta Arenas, depending on the rental company. Drop-off at a different rental station is possible at certain locations. This however involves one-way rentals. The prices are issued in our cost calculator.

- Fully comprehensive car insurance, with or without deductible (see above).*

* Please pay attention to the details in the rental and insurance conditions of each individual provider. As limit of indemnity is quite low, we recommend to take an extra liability insurance in your home country or to check if you already have such a protection.
Highway Tolls
These tolls are paid in cash on most highways, for example along the Panamericana between La Serena and Puerto Montt. The fees for using the city highways in Santiago are collected by an electronic system called TAG. All rental cars dispose of the respective equipment. The fees for using these city highways with your rental car depend on the operator: Either they have a fixed daily lump sum (appr. USD 6 per day) or they will charge the exact tolls afterwards to your credit card.
With the camper to Argentina
If you want to take the vehicle abroad to Argentina, it is essential to indicate this with your reservation (at least 1 week before taking over the car), since you need special documents. Extra costs for insurance and notarized authorization depend on the length of stay in Argentina and are indicated in our cost calculator.
