Whether you’re traveling to Chile for pure leisure or business with an Auto Europe car rental, our acclaimed partner Econorent has the ideal leasing option for you! Offering both short-term and long-term rentals, this company is especially known for its "Operative Lease" that entails rentals between one and three years. Useful for those working temporarily in Chile, this sort of contract allows renters to take full advantage of a vehicle without needing to worry about any bureaucratic or legal liability. Not only can this help individuals save money but also provides security in case of any potential damage or maintenance. Coverage exists throughout both Chile and neighboring Argentina, meaning one-way travel is an option with Econorent!
Back in 2016, Chilean authorities reported that over 5.6 million foreigners visited the Andean country. Steadily growing ever since then, Econorent ensures optimal car leases throughout an assortment of major cities, especially in the northern region. Not only do these include Santiago and its bustling international airport, but also Calama, Arica, Antofagasta and La Serena. Further down south, there are also locations in Temuco and Punta Arenas. Present in both offices and airports, other cities include Concepcion, Puerto Natales, Coyhaique, Copiapo and Balmaceda.
Just like Auto Europe, our Chilean partner Econorent is all about versatility. Economic minis, Sedans, luxury cars, hybrids, vans, SUVs, trucks; you name the type of automobile you’re searching for and it’s most likely part of Econorent’s growing inventory. Ranging from a five-door Nissan Np300 to an efficient Kia Frontier, many units even come with unlimited mileage as well as an extra driver included in the fee! What’s more, each leasing option comes equipped with diverse storage options, depending on the nature of your trip of course.
When booking a vehicle with Econorent through the Auto Europe search engine, both liability insurance and the airport surcharge are included in the reservation fee. Besides ensuring the best rates on our platform, we at Auto Europe can also ensure affordable car seats, undeniably useful mobile hotspots, among other amenities. All things considered, these low-cost items could certainly provide extra layers of security during your time south of the equator. In the end, clients will save money purchasing these add-ons through us rather than directly with the provider!

Once you have arrived in Chile, most likely, you will want to hit the road as soon as possible to commence your South American holiday. Whether you intend to trek through the fjords of Patagonia or go sandboarding in the Atacama Desert, the last thing most people want is to show up at the Econorent counter without the proper documents in hand. With that said, it will be important for you to have the following items: the credit card in the primary driver’s name, a valid US driving license, as well as an International Driver's Permit. While not mandatory, it would also be recommended to carry a copy of your Auto Europe voucher.
By now, you’re probably aware that most countries enforce varying age requirements and policies for car rentals. Specifically with Econorent in Chile, you have to be older than 22 to acquire a rental vehicle. All the while, it’s possible that young drivers under the age of 25 will be required to pay an additional daily or one-time surcharge. More often than not, this is per rental with the VAT included, paid locally. In case of any questions or concerns regarding this, call Econorent at +56-2-2299-7100 or email them at reservas@econorent.cl.
While most of the fleet at Econorent offers vehicles with manual transmission, there are automatic options readily available. Ranging from a Peugeot 208 to a Hyundai Creta 4x2, travelers en route to Chile will have plenty of options to choose from. For those hoping to travel in a sustainable manner, there are even electric-powered Hyundai Ioniq Hybrids with automatic transmission available to rent! Other standouts include a Kia Sportage, a Hyundai Santa Fe, as well as a Hyundai Tucson.
