Top tips for renting a car in Magallanes

  • When renting a car in the Magallanes region, prioritize a compact car. The terrain in Magallanes, Chile, often includes narrow and winding roads, especially in the Patagonian parts. This makes a compact car ideal for maneuvering through such challenging roads, offering better handling and agility. Compact cars also tend to have better fuel efficiency, which is beneficial for long drives and exploring Magallanes's vast and remote landscapes, providing cost-effective travel without compromising comfort or safety.
  • If you rent a car for movement flexibility with your kids in Magallanes, please remember to budget for an age- and height-appropriate child restraint seat. In Magallanes, it is mandatory to use appropriate car seats when traveling to and from airports with your kids under 8. These seats may range from rear-facing seats for toddlers and infants up to 2 years old, forward-facing seats for children aged 2 to 4 years, to booster seats for those aged 4 to 8. For convenience, parents are allowed to travel with a car seat for their child's safety.
  • Before renting a car from the Magallanes car rentals, analyze and understand your destinations for a practical travel experience. For instance, if most of your destinations are in the rural parts of Magallanes, you must stay vigilant about petrol stations. As these areas have limited options, filling up the tank whenever possible, especially in city centers, is advisable. This proactive approach ensures that you won't face unexpected fuel shortages, allowing you to have a smooth and stress-free journey through the region's breathtaking landscapes.
  • Although driving in Magallanes is relatively easy, you will likely face significant difficulties during rush hour traffic and adverse weather conditions. The region experiences icy and snowy roads, making driving hazardous during winter. Slippery conditions pose risks to motorists, especially on certain roads. During rush hour, major routes like Avenida Bulnes and Avenida Colón are highly affected by traffic snarl-ups. The Rush hour traffic occurs between 7:30 and 9:00 in the morning and between 5:30 and 7:00 in the evening.
