You get better exploration opportunities to the hidden gems and attraction sites whose routes are not served well by public transport. Also, it is convenient, especially if traveling with heavy luggage. Unlike public transport, which may have luggage restrictions, you can easily accommodate your bags. Car rentals guarantee comfort as you do not have to go through the hassle of sharing your personal spaces or limiting your seating space. Additionally, it is cost-effective to opt for car rentals when traveling in a group since you can split the rental costs.

- Balmaceda Tiente Vidal Airport (BBA) is the primary airport serving Balmaceda. The airport has several on-site car rental agencies with counters at the Arrivals Hall. At BBA, you’ll go through the Customs and Baggage Claims area before going to the car rental counters. Most car rental agencies will require you to be at least 18 years old to rent a vehicle. However, most will add a surcharge for security for young drivers below 25 years. You must present your photo ID, driving license, and credit card. If you had pre-booked, you must provide an additional rental voucher.

The town has some local driving habits, including using specific hand signals or gestures to communicate with other drivers. You need to be observant to navigate these nuances.

Pros:
Pleasant, relatively hassle free (for Chile). Did not have any problems with the car. Return was straightforward, no quibbling.Cons:
They do provide proprietary insurance which does not however include unpaved roads, unfortunate when one considers that the vast majority of roads in this region are unpaved. The 18% VAT waiver for non-residents in lodging does not apply in the case of car rentals. Car rental (this is not directed at Europacar) is quite expensive in the entire region for understandable reasons, poor roads, crazy drivers, poor signage, etc. I suppose the above points are true of all firms industry wide and do not signal out Europacar which provided me with a well maintained car at a lower price than its competitors, courteous service without hassles or fuss.10.0 Wonderful
