KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Puerto Natales

  • Car rentals in Puerto Natales offer many advantages over relying on public buses or trains. With a bus or train, you are bound by fixed schedules, limiting your ability to explore the region at will. However, a rental car enables you to make a personalized itinerary and freely visit attractions such as Muelle Historico, Monumento al viento, and Monumento de la Mano. Additionally, having a rental car grants you the freedom to venture into the region's remote areas, which are unreachable by buses or trains. Furthermore, a rental car offers a high level of comfort and privacy, especially for families or groups, as you can travel together in a spacious vehicle, carry your belongings conveniently, and avoid crowded buses or waiting times for connections.
  • Teniente Julio Gallardo Airport (PNT) is the main airport serving Puerto Natales and its metropolis. If you are taking a flight to Puerto Natales, Chile, you'll be happy to know that PNT will be your destination airport. Once you've arrived at PNT, you will find many Puerto Natales car rentals featuring accessible desks in the airport's arrivals area. The car rental desks are easily visible and accessible, offering you a seamless transition from your flight to the rental process. The friendly and professional staff at these rental desks will help you make the process of renting a car both efficient and pleasant. The car rentals in Puerto Natales available at PNT are Hertz, Avis, Europcar, Keddy by Europcar, Econorent, Thrifty, Sunnycars, and Rentacar.
  • The traffic flow in Puerto Natales is generally calm, contributing to a more relaxed driving experience. Drivers follow the rules of the road, including obeying traffic lights, signals, and posted speed limits. While traffic can increase during peak hours, it remains manageable due to the town's smaller size and well-maintained road infrastructure. Drivers are expected to yield to pedestrians at designated crosswalks, and driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal. Defensive driving is encouraged to account for unforeseen circumstances, including sudden weather changes or encounters with wildlife on the roads.
  • Puerto Natales experiences the morning rush hour from around 7:30-9 am as locals commute to work or drop their kids off at school, contributing to increased traffic congestion on the town's main roads such as Avenida Espana and Avenida Santiago Bueras. The evening rush hour begins around 5:30 pm and continues until around 7 pm. This period is characterized by locals returning home from work as the traffic flow increases, leading to crowded thoroughfares. With a vehicle from a car rental in Puerto Natales, you can navigate the city more efficiently by planning your trips during off-peak hours.

The guy who helped us with pick up and drop off was super helpful and friendly. They were also very thorough with looking over the car and explaining things to us. My only frustration is related to a phone call I had with Avis customer service. I called to ask if it was permitted to drive the car to Argentina and they said no. I therefore purchased bus tickets to get to Argentina and back. But after arriving in Puerto Natales, the Avis employee told me that it was allowed and he could have arranged it for me. It would be good if the customer service people knew the rules.
