At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Iquique require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.
We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Chile is quite high.

Help on the rental process
In Chile, there are many standard rules that are valid in many countries of the world. For example, it is prohibited to talk on the phone, listen to the player and smoke while driving. The driver and all the passengers inside the car must fasten seat belts. Violation of any of these rules can lead to quite serious consequences, including the driving license suspension.
Chilean drivers can be characterized as rather emotional and short tempered, but, in general, they are distinguished by a very friendly and welcoming attitude. Quite often you can see how local drivers give each other certain signals with their hands – this way they help each other to maneuver in the flow of cars.
When you plan to use your car, make sure you have all the car documents with you. The driving license and car documents are important even if you plan a ride to the nearest shop. Police patrols on duty are not rare on the roads of Chile. The police can stop virtually every vehicle for the document check. The absence of any of the required documents is a serious reason for the imposition of a heavy fine.
