10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Puerto Varas

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you’re in need of a spacious SUV, a convertible for those sunny days, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the perfect fit for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you’re more likely to obtain lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals mandate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most beneficial option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in this instance.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for collecting your rental car at airports, but it might be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unexpected costs and provide peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s simple to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s licence is necessary to rent a car.
