KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Puerto Varas
- Opting for car hire in Puerto Varas is the ideal way to explore this scenic part of Chile and make the trip around the beautiful shores of Lake Lago Llanquihue. Although you can travel by local bus in Puerto Varas itself, the timetables may be erratic and somewhat confusing to visitors. You will also find few public transport links to nearby attractions, like the lakeside Camino Ensenada Observation Deck or the Salto Waterfalls. Driving around this rural part of Chile will also allow you to see the great variety of stunning scenery that Puerto Varas has on its doorstep.
- When you fly to Puerto Varas, you will land at El Tepual Airport (PMC), which is located around a 25-minute drive from Puerto Varas. There are no public transport links available between Puerto Varas and the airport, so hiring a car at El Tepual is a great way to avoid paying for a taxi into town. When you land, you will find car hire desks at El Tepual located inside the main Arrivals Hall at the south end of the terminal. From here, you can drive straight out of the airport and take the V-60 and then the V-590 to reach Puerto Varas.
- Driving in Chile can be an incredible experience, and you will generally find the urban roads well-maintained and in good condition. Given the area’s rural surroundings, it is likely that you will want to explore the countryside when you choose car hire in Puerto Varas, but you may find that some areas are not so well-maintained. Watch out for potholes and uneven surfaces and do not continue down roads if you are unsure whether you can turn around. The rural roads around the lake are frequently used by tourists, so are generally spacious and safe. Still, if you are planning a long drive, take some water, a map app on your phone, and some warm clothes with you just in case. You should also stay vigilant on multi-lane roads, as local drivers will often merge without indicating.
- The roads around Puerto Varas, especially main routes around the airport, like the V-50 or Route 5, can get very busy during the commuter rush hour. In Chile, the rush hour usually sits between 07:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00. You may also find that the main roads around Lake Llanquihue get crowded with tourists during the peak tourist season (December-February). However, Route 5 on the Lake’s west side is by far the most crowded, meaning you can avoid some of the congestion if you set out slightly later in the day and travel up the Lake’s East Coast instead.
