Travel Tips

What documents do I need to drive in Chile?

16 December 2013

Clients booking our self-drive holidays in Chile must be 25 years old and hold an international driving licence or a European-style photo-card licence. A valid credit card, passport, driving licence & counterpart are required locally by the rental company. You will need an international driving licence (and a permit) if you are driving into Argentina.
