The place did not exist. There was no one to call, including Kayak rep. Could not even cancel. Ended up paying $100 for insurance of thin air. It was a scam, and so is Kayak.

The young woman who checked us in was so helpful and nice. A bit of translation difficulty but that's often the case of English speaking in Chile! When returning, we showed up as she was closing, she helped us as we had gone into the wrong parking garage...a truck blocked the view of the other entrance just beyond the one we needed. She and another employee, a young man, helped us with bags and getting back to the street...my fellow traveler is partly handicapped. They were so kind and spent a lot of extra time helping find a taxi and make sure we were safely on our way. Much appreciation to those two young people who were so kind.

Avoid. They are so off centered you need to travel 25km to the city. Had so much trouble to get picked up. Return was a nightmare. Avoid!!!!

Pickup and dropoff at the rental location was quick however we did have to wait 30± mins to get the van from the airport to take us to the off-site lot. I was given a Hyundai accent as an intermediate vehicle. I would normally consider this compact class but they insisted it was correct. I'm not sure who was right but it was smaller than I anticipated.

The process to check out the car took too much time. I was able to show them my prepurchased insurance through Kayak. No problems there. I change the reservation from the airport to the hotel. No problem there with increased charges. They meet you at the airport to pick you up with a sign. They used my What’s app app to contact me. Don’t disregard that. There is a person watching the app to respond. They upgraded us for the inconvenience. Person at the desk spoke English well. Nice new, maintained car. Streets in Chile are very good and cell tower will run quickly keep you informed on your maps apps. I would rent a car in Chile again.

Met at airport by a Hertz employee with a sign and brought to the offsite location via a third party shuttle. They had a problem with their system and weren't able to enter my Hertz Gold # so had to give all. All worked, great car, kind staff but between shuttle and info, took >45min to get on the road.

The employees were helpful, however. the quality of the vehicle was "bad". After driving for 150 kilometers in Chile, the car started to have motor noises. The next day I took the car to an agent at my destination city (Talca). They did not explain the noises and I received a new vehicle. This vehicle did not have any problems. When I return the vehicle at the airport, I was charged for a crack in the windshield. Alamo employee informed me that after a phone call to the alamo agent in Talca, He was informed that no crack was on the windshield when I received the vehicle in Talca. I did not inspect the second vehicle, I cannot confirm the statement from Alamo in Talca, however, when I originally picked up the vehicle at the airport, I was informed that the vehicle was in "excellent" condition. This was not true. How do I know the condition of the second car, after the "excellent" previous condition.

They charged me extra because they didn’t have the car I requested (needed automatic transmission) and would not price match - ended up paying a ridiculous amount for 3 days. Got a notification that there was an AirTag tracking us and found one right in the glove compartment. Overall not a good experience.

I had a really bad experience. They gave me an old car with a lot of damage, which was dirty inside and outside. It smelled like gas inside the car all the time, and the front desk staff were rude and unprofessional. When I rented the car, they told me to pick it up at one address, but once I got there, they told me to go to another location. I had to pay for two Ubers just to get the car. I also had to return the car one day early, but they didn’t want to refund me for the extra day. They didn’t explain the contract to me. I had to leave $1,000 as a deposit because she wasn’t able to verify if I had the insurance that I purchased through Ace Rental Car, even though I showed her the receipt and emails. Really bad service.

The car company is not called united its Chile Rent a car. Also I was told United would be at the terminal, but did not see a kiosk for them. We asked the airport they said United is offsite. We then went to the "offsite" location which was about 20 mins ($30 cab ride) away. That's where we found United is now Chile Rent a car. After doing paperwork offsite we then were told we had to go back to the airport. They initially were not going to give a shuttle but did. At that point pick up was ok, little slow but go the car. When returning the car, there was a man with no uniform on that took our car, we went to the kiosk to ask for a receipt to show that my car was indeed return. They wouldn't give one.
