KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Puerto Natales

  • Car hire in Puerto Natales is the way to go for transport, as this small and somewhat remote port city doesn’t offer a wide range of options. There are local bus services, though the purpose is mainly to get in and out of Puerto Natales, as the city is small and mostly accessible by foot. There are also taxis available, and a trip within the city will usually cost around 1,000-2,000 CLP (1.78-3.57 AUD). Having your own Puerto Natales car hire gives you the freedom to explore in and around the city at your own pace and on your own schedule.
  • Aeropuerto Teniente Julio Gallardo (PNT) is a small operation and does not have hire car offices at the airport. Puerto Natales offers one main hire car company, Europcar. They do not offer a shuttle service to and from the airport; however, the journey is short and should cost somewhere around 8,400-11,200 CLP (15-20 AUD) for the 10-15min trip by taxi.
  • Puerto Natales is a small city with a fair distance between it and the rest of Chile and any other cities, so the roads are fairly quiet and the feeling of the city is generally relaxed. Car hire in Puerto Natales comes with plenty of advantages and no real concerns, as there is no true city hustle and bustle here.
  • The main difficulties you may find driving your hire car in Puerto Natales are that all signs are in Spanish, so if you haven’t got much vocabulary in that regard, you may find directions a tad confusing. Roads in more remote areas, including many surrounding Puerto Natales, can be narrow, winding and not in great condition, so be wary when venturing through and around this city, as every area is different.
  • Book your rental car in Puerto Natales at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Puerto Natales

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Puerto Natales?

    You will find when booking car hire in Puerto Natales that your only options are SUV vehicles, and this is because, really, they are essential. While the city centre is no problem, getting around this area of Chile and most of its attractions will require an SUV. A lot of the national parks and sights at this end of the country have unsealed, steep roads, and an economy or compact vehicle simply wouldn’t do the job.

  • What’s the speed limit in Puerto Natales?

    The speed limit within the centre of Puerto Natales will usually be 50-60 km/h unless otherwise signed. Once you get out of the city and hit rural roads, the standard speed limit is 100 km/h and then 120 km/h on the highways. Do be sure to pay close attention to signs for speed limits to avoid any fines added to the cost of your car hire in Puerto Natales.

  • Where are the best places to park in Puerto Natales?

    Parking in Puerto Natales is abundant and free with plenty of street parking, and most accommodations offer parking for your car hire in Puerto Natales as well. It’s a small, quiet city so there is no real battle for a spot to park here. There is parking at the ferry terminal if you are venturing that way to Puerto Montt, and parking is available at shopping centres and attractions within the city. Because Puerto Natales is not a large area, you will generally not need to worry about finding a parking spot anyway, as you can mostly get from one place to another by foot and leave your hire car parked somewhere central to your destinations.

  • How much is the price of fuel in Puerto Natales?

The guy who helped us with pick up and drop off was super helpful and friendly. They were also very thorough with looking over the car and explaining things to us. My only frustration is related to a phone call I had with Avis customer service. I called to ask if it was permitted to drive the car to Argentina and they said no. I therefore purchased bus tickets to get to Argentina and back. But after arriving in Puerto Natales, the Avis employee told me that it was allowed and he could have arranged it for me. It would be good if the customer service people knew the rules.

The system was unavailable and the manual procedure took so long. We scheduled the pickup for 9:00am, but took the car 11:30a.m. The drop off was ok.

It isunreliable company. No way to communicate with eurocar. When my flight was delayed, i can not reach them by phone. Sent then msg through their Manage rental car page, but they ignored it. They cancelled my booking, gave a car not I booked and blamed me for later showing up for pick up.
