Top tips for renting a car in Patagonia

  • Travelers who would like to rent a car in Patagonia are required to provide a driver’s license. The license must be valid throughout the rental period and must be government-issued with a photograph of the driver. Some rental companies do not accept digital licenses, so be sure to check you’re your chosen company before visiting Patagonia. If your driver’s license is not in the Roman alphabet, consider getting an international driver’s license with a translation.
  • Patagonia lies on the border of Chile and Argentina, and visitors to this area may want to cross borders. To do so, you will have to complete the necessary paperwork at customs and immigration. You will also need to inform the car rental company in advance to prepare the documentation, and the company will provide a letter of permission to get you across the border. Borders tend to be busier in certain seasons, so make sure to get there early. Keep in mind that there are strict regulations on what can be transported across the border, so check policies ahead of time.
  • Patagonia has wide and lonely roads, but drivers are likely to encounter police checks when driving closer to urban areas. If you come across one, there is no need to panic; just drive slowly. Sometimes the police may check the car, so it’s useful to have a Spanish phrasebook accessible for easier communication. Drivers who are issued a ticket will be given information on how to pay.
  • The speed limit varies in different areas of Patagonia because it lies between two countries. The general speed limit varies between 25 and 35 mph in urban areas. In the countryside, the speed limit varies between 60 and 70 mph, while on highways, it’s between 60 and 80 mph. When traveling toward Patagonia, main roads have toll gates that require fees, so have cash with you for payment. Fuel stations are few and far between in Patagonia, so make sure that your car’s gas tank is always full to avoid being stranded on your journey.
