To truly experience the wide expanses available to you in Punta Arenas, a car is simply a necessity. Renting a vehicle is recommended to all visitors to the area, especially if they want to get to the heart of the Chile’s Patagonia region, in part because there really is no other way to get around the area. Yes, there are buses, but they only offer direct routes and don’t allow for true independence or real freedom of exploration.
Looking forward to traversing the end of the world with a rental car? Start by picking up the car right after you land at Presidente Carlos Ibáñez del Campo International Airport. Arrivals to the airport will find the rental car desks in the airport’s Arrivals Hall.
If you plan on exploring the beautiful countryside surrounding Punta Arenas, make sure your keep on the lookout for one of the area’s most common animals: sheep. One of the major industries of Punta Arenas is sheepherding and, as a result, flocks of sheep are commonly seen crossing roads outside of the city.
Though Punta Arenas sits at the end of the world, it also experiences rush hour traffic from time to time. During the week, rush hour typically starts up in the morning at around 8:00 a.m. and quickly cools off at around 9:00 a.m. There is also another brief period of congestion from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. as well. Often during rush hour, Av. José Martínez de Aldunate gets particularly backed up so visitors should take note and avoid it if possible.

They didn’t agree to the terms that kayak laid out and charged me an extra $30 for picking up and dropping off the car at 6PM which was my reservation time.

Anthony, Dec 2025

Full-size SUV

We had a brand new car and a window fractured the second day into our week long trip, tried every phone number available but we were never able to reach anyone at the rental company to resolve the issue, had to drive the car with duct tape over the window the entire trip!

Anonymous, Feb 2024

Full-size SUV

I had already purchased rental insurance when I booked my car, but when I was picking up my car they made me purchase another insurance plan to keep from putting a $6000 hold on my credit card. After purchasing the additional insurance they still put a large hold on my credit card anyway. Very confusing slow pick-up, but overall the car was in great condition and performed without any issues.

2.0 Poor

Danielle, Nov 2023

Standard SUV

They gave our car away. Our flight was coming into Punta Arenas a bit later than expected- we attempted to call and send an email but couldn’t make contact with the provided contact information. When we got there (less than 2 hours past our reservation time), the staff was quite rude, not helpful and said they had given our car way. Very poor customer service.
