Rent a car!

by bruingirl

Renting a car at the airport was fairly simple. We rented from Avis and didn't have any problems. We had originally rented an economy car. After seeing all of our luggage, the guy at the Avis counter suggested that we upgrade to a mini-van. We were glad that we took his advice because there was NO way in hell that we were going to be able to fit all of our luggage in an economy car! :) The road maps were very easy to read and the signs posted on the highways were very easy to read as well! We drove from Santiago airport to Valparaiso/Vina del Mar to Santiago to the Colchagua valley. It was a pleasant experience, all in all. Gasoline prices are much steeper than the U.S. though so be prepared for that. We spent WELL over US$100 to fill up the car! The gas prices you will see are based on "per liter" instead of "per gallon". That was a lesson that we learned rather quickly!

Car rentals

by vtveen

When on holiday we love our freedom and if possible we try to travel by (rental) car. We feel it is much more convenient and flexible. We drive and stop when and how long we want and not when a tour guide does. And self driving allows to take minor roads and to visit ‘off the beaten path’ sights.And often it is not more expensive (with 2 persons) than visiting sights by guided tours.Consider paying between 30.000 and 40.000 pesos for one day, depending on the car and sometimes the km’s you drive.Puerto NatalesWe rented our car from EMSA (in co-operation with Avis); a lot of paperwork, but friendly and helpful staff.We just had our car for a day trip to Torres del Paine. In my opinion you really need your own transportation to explore this fantastic scenery. I even can’t count the stops we made to enjoy the landscape and to make pictures along the road....

El Calafate - Puerto Natales

by vtveen

A lot of travellers will visit both El Calafate and Torres del Paine (Puerto Natales) during their vacation. The best way to travel to/from Chile between El Calafate and Puerto Natales is by bus. There are a couple of companies running services between these cities. We took Cootra to cross the border between Argentina and Chile. The ride takes about 5 hours, depending the time at the two customs offices in Villa Dorotea (we needed about 1 hour to cross). Be aware: Chile is very strict about food (fruit, veggies) crossing the border. Be sure and consume or throw away your food before the customs office.In Puerto Natales the buses leave from their own town offices (Cootra: Baquedano); in El Calafate from a central bus station at Avenida Julia a Roca (1 block from Avenida del Libertador). Buses leave at 8.30 am (Cootra) or 8.00 am (Turismo Zaahj) from El Calafate.Buses leave at 8.30 am...

The city bus

by easterntrekker

We travelled all over Santiago by bus ..once you get the hang of it , it was pretty easy . There is only one fare....doesn't matter how far you go. You can travel only one block or across the entire city for the same price. In Santiago, the fare is CLP$350 and you pay the driver as you get on.

Scootin' Around Santiago

by VeronicaG

Special deliveries came by scooter to our neighborhood, but regular mail delivery came by foot. This man apparently is bringing registered mail of some sort. Scooters appeared every so often, but actually I didn't see this type of transportation too frequently.

Transfer from Valparaiso/Vina del mar to Santiago

by Elfindelmundo

I have been living in Vina del Mar for the past three years. If anyone is in the Vina/Valparaiso area and in need of a transfer service I know of a Chilean retired Navy Captain who owns a van for 12 passengers. He is very reliable and very reasonable. He also does transfers from Santiago to Vina del Mar and for that matter almost anywhere in a days drive from Santiago. If anyone is interested you can e-mail me at dentonmeredith@hotmail.com

Hiring a car in Chile

by arnys

We hired a Hyundai Accent in Santiago de Chile. We also visited Argentina with this car, crossing the Andes several times. The car was convenient on main roads, including the famous "40" of Argentina. We had flat tyres seven times, broken our radiator, and an overturn because of excessive speed.

Bus - the most convenient way to explore Chile

by tommix

Buses in Chile are very comfortable and offer a better service than we are used to in Europe. And they are relatively inexpensive. The fare is more or less 1-2 USD per hour of travel. To give you a concrete exemple the overnight trip from Santiago to Puerto Montt in "Salon Cama", which means seats like in buisness class on intercontinental flights, costs 20 USD, breakfast included (half of this price in a bus with normal seats - "Clasico"). Chilean buses run on time and tickets should be purchased ahead of time. Seats are assigned and on busy holiday weekends it's not a bad idea to buy a ticket the day before.There is at least four bus terminals in Santiago: Estacion Central, San Borja, Alameda and Las Heroes. Hopefully all are located in the central railway station area.Two biggest bus companies are: Tur-Bus and Pullman Bus

Trains are not really the solution

by tommix

Trains are not of very big help for tourist in Chile. Unfortunately the big majority of railways in this country is abandonned or used only for freight transport. From Estacion Central (Main Railway Station) in Santiago you can catch only few passenger trains, and only to the South. Deserved cities are: San Fernando, Talca, Talcahuano and - it's the longest possible trip - Temuco.Meanwhile it's worth to go to the Estacion Central - The building itself is beautyful and you will find there a big shopping mall. Last but not least - close to the railway station are located two biggest bus stations - a real key to explore Chile. But this is a subject of an another tip! :)

Close to Andes

by vanmagenta

I think the people of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguai Peru, Bolivia and Paraguai must go to Chile by bus or train and see all the transformation of the weather, the geografy and the people while the Andes is getting near and near... it's a undescribable sensation of happiness , peace and fear... is really great!Between cities, we traveled a lot by trains, and had no problems.
