What do you need to rent a car in South America?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a South America hire car if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in South America often depends on the hire supplier you choose.

Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred hire company to avoid extra costs on pick-up.
