This was one of the worst car rentals I have ever experienced. When I went to pick it up they required more documentation than I felt was necessary. I had to get a taxi back to my hotel and back to the rental car company. As I was filling out the paperwork I saw them messing with the tailgate which was having a hard time closing. Then was told that I couldn't drop off the car before the branch opened (my buss left at 7:30 and they open at 9;00 AM) after a few phone calls I can drop it off early but for an additional $50 (USD). I don't have many options so I had to agree. Then I get the car and it is not only dirty but there is gooey unknown substances all over the back seat. after a few minutes on the road (after being ensured the tailgate was fixed) the door open charm starts in. The tailgate gave me problems the entire time I had the car. Upon drop off I asked for a ride to the bus station, about 2 miles away. (since I paid $50 to drop off early) they called a cab and had me wait outside. I will never rent from this company again.

Our SUV was great! It was clean, and we were very comfortable. It held five passengers and our bags. Gas mileage was great and there were absolutely no problems with any aspect of the rental.

I hated the car Tiogga Chery. Big clunker. The welcome message video/music that played every time I opened the door got extremely tedious. Can't that be turned off? The car itself has badly designed software. For example the back trunk door would open at random times when I was driving! This happened twice. I would have to stop the car to make it close. Inconvenient and a danger since I could have lost items out the back. Additionally, it was annoying to have the car unlock every time I got near it and then when I would go to the front of the car it would promptly lock again. Why not give me control over when I want to unlock the car? It is a decision any human is capable of making. Many of the controls were obscure. Overall, the car was ridiculous in its design software. The people who did the car rental were excellent.
Fue tan fácil, rápido y amigable que rente de nuevo para otra fecha

Even though our booking through Kayak included fees and taxes, the Hertz location in Santiago added >$100 of additional fees. Additionally, when calculating what we owed, they converted the USD amount into Chilean Pesos using a currency exchange rate that was ~15% higher than the currency exchange rate at the time. They wouldn't just run our card in the peso amount. When we brought it up, they said it was the corporate policy/rate. The one redeeming thing about that Hertz location was that the drivers who pick up and drop off from the airport were incredibly nice and helpful. We travel to and from the Santiago airport a couple times a year and we will never use that Hertz location again.

Good employees and nice car. Office is in an underground garage with not easy to see signage so a bit difficult to find. Very pleasant lack of upsell pitches as typical in US.

Difficult to locate, not on standard rental shuttle circuit. Looked for Hertz attendant at arrivals per instructions, we missed each other. More explicit instructions, like meet at exit of door 12 on terminal 2, or take the “ok parking” shuttle to an exact address would be preferred.
Otherwise a good experience but there was no chance to get an insurance with zero deductible amount. That made the experience a bit stressful since all the damage (including those caused by someone else) would have been charged from us up to a few thousand euros.

The statements in the reservation system that you can pick up and drop off the car at the airport in Punta Arenas is false advertising. Avis (EMSA) does not have a counter at the airport. You have to find someone who knows this at the airport and then call Avis in el centro 30 minutes away. Then they will send a free taxi to pick you up and bring you to the office in town, so plan on an extra hour. You cannot pickup or drop off a car at the airport. Otherwise, the service was friendly and efficient and the are cars new.

Good: The front desk staff helped as I picked up the car a day later than was previously scheduled. They were very helpful but it took a very long time. Bad: I returned the car after being on the coast. At the end of the drive back, the car had some residual sand/dust on it. The guy who checked in the car charged me $30,000 CLP for "cleanup". It was unjustified in my opinion.
I was not informed that in the town where I was to pick up the car there is no such thing as Ace car rental. I spent 2 frustrating hours in the airport in puerto Montt before figuring out that Ace is Known by another name. 😠
Everything was ok, until our rental broke down due to electrical problem and stopped on a busy street. We waited for more than 3 hours for the tow truck to take the car and another 2 hours+ plus call back to the USA for the replacement car due to language problem. We ended up not pick up the replacement because it’s on the other side of the town and op for refund. In all fairness the local car rental company do whatever in their power to smooth down the situation but not effective.
