KAYAK’s top tips for hiring 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.

Pros:
The car was fine, BUT - see my comments in the "didn't like" section.Cons:
First of all - the folks that work there don't speak any English - or very very little. I hope not to sound "Lingo-centric" in saying this, but I'd think a car rental agency in a tourist destination to have maybe one staff member who could speak English a bit. Here's the issue though... BE VERY CAREFUL when they do the car inspection - especially on the windshield. The roads around Torres del Paine are gravel. When they signed the car out to me, they made note of two small dot-scratches on the windshield. When I returned the car the agent on duty argued that those weren't noted on the inspection forms, and that we had a problem since I'd damaged the car. We finally resolved it, but it took time and nerves and a phone call to folks off-site. Make sure they prominently note any (and every) windshield flaw before you take the car.Europcar
