An excellent way to travel between different tourist
destinations is with a car. The independence and convenience
that this method offers added to an extensive road network, makes
access possible to the most secret and remote places of our geography.
In Chile the services for automobile leasing or rental are varied.
Rental agencies are found all along the length of Chile.
They range from transnational companies to small, local rental
agencies. All of these manage various categories of vehicles
and offer different services.
In general, driving in Chile is not a complicated task; the streets
are generally well-marked with traffic signals, and traffic is
orderly except in Santiago where it is a little more complex.
As far as highways go, the main artery is the Panamerican Highway
which runs from the north to the south of the country, crossing
through the main cities of Chile, being interrupted occasionally
by toll booths. Along the highway are services such as restaurants
and gas stations which become scarcer as the highway heads towards
less traveled places. |
