Top tips for renting a car at Calama El Loa airport

  • You can never go wrong with a car rental at El Loa Airport (CJC) if you want to explore Chile conveniently. Upon arrival at El Loa Airport, you can easily pick up your rental car and begin your journey without waiting for the fixed routes and schedules by public transportation.

  • When booking an El Loa Airport (CJC) car rental, consider Econorent, Europcar, and Chilean Rent-A-Car.

Pickup and drop off were easy. At pickup, the agent said that they would email a copy of the contract. It never arrived. The car had some problems with starting. At one point, we thought we might be stranded miles from help with no cell service.

No one was at the desk on arrival. I was stuck until the next day. I left a note for them to call when they got in the next day to confirm they had my car. I received no communication. I will never use Avis again
