National Protection Package (NPP) is a package product that includes Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection (CDW-TP), Deductible Protection (DP), and Third-Party Liability (TPL) at a discounted price. NPP is not insurance. If NPP is purchased, the rental company contractually waives the responsibility for the cost of damage to, loss, or theft of the vehicle, and up to the policy limits for damages and injuries to third parties during the rental period in Chile, subject to the actions listed on the rental agreement that invalidate the coverage as described in the rental agreement. Please be aware that most auto insurance policies from outside Chile do not provide coverage in Chile. Employees of the local rental car company are not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the customer’s auto insurance coverage. The renter should contact their insurance company before arrival with any questions regarding their specific coverage. If the renter declines both CDW-TP and EPP, the renter is responsible for the full value of damage to or loss of the vehicle. The deductible is reduced to zero for all car classes.

All major credit cards, issued by MasterCard, and Visa, are accepted. All cards presented must be in the renter's name. Prepaid cards, cash, checks, virtual cards (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc.), and local retail credit cards are not accepted. Debit cards can be used at the end of the rental to pay for any outstanding amounts, but the deposit must be secured with a credit card at the start of the rental. An authorization of 30% of the rental cost, a minimum of 750 USD (600,000 CLP) to a maximum of 1,200 USD (1,000,000 CLP) depending on the category, plus the estimated cost of the rental will be taken at the time of rental.

All drivers must present a fully valid driving license. In addition, all foreign renters must provide a passport, and local renters are required to present a government-issued photo ID or passport. A valid credit card in the renter's name must be presented upon collection of the vehicle. If the driving license is written in a language and characters different from those of the country of rental, an International Driving Permit is also required. Renters with licenses from countries who are not part of the International Driving Permit Agreement should carry a certified translation. Customers can drive in the country using their driving license from their country of origin for up to 90 days. If staying in the country longer, customers are required to obtain an international driving permit.

Roadside Assistance Plus (RSP), if selected and paid for at the time of rental, is available 24/7 without additional charges. RSP includes towing (not related to an accident), flat tire service (if no inflated spare is available, the vehicle will be towed), and lockout service (if keys are locked inside the vehicle). Jumpstarts and fuel delivery service for up to 5 gallons (or equivalent liters) of fuel are also provided. Tire damage beyond repair as a result of driver neglect is the responsibility of the renter. RSP does not include the replacement of lost keys (including remote entry devices). The replacement cost of the key is up to 1,000 USD and will be added to the rental agreement. Roadside Assistance Plus is also available without payment of this flat-rate fee. It will then be billed according to the actual costs incurred for each assistance service rendered. Roadside Assistance Plus is an optional product. Before purchasing you may wish to check if your coverage is adequate. For roadside assistance call 1515, option 1.

Third-Party Liability (TPL) protection is not insurance. The purchase of TPL is optional and not required to rent a vehicle. If TPL is purchased, the rental company contractually waives the responsibility for the cost of damage to third-party vehicles or injuries to third parties during the rental period, up to the policy limits, unless the coverage is invalidated as provided in the rental agreement. TPL does not provide protection related to damages to the rental vehicle or injuries to the driver of the rental vehicle. TPL is included in the National Protection Package (NPP). If accepted, TPL provides the renter and authorized drivers with up to 750,000 USD combined single limit for third-party liability claims. If the renter accepts TPL, the rental company provides third-party liability protection up to the applicable minimum financial responsibility limit of 45,000 USD per accident and excess third-party liability protection coverage from the applicable minimum financial responsibility limits up to 750,000 USD per accident. No deductible applies. Please be aware that most auto insurance policies from outside Chile do not provide coverage in Chile. Employees of the local rental car company are not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the customer’s personal liability insurance coverage, insurance purchased on third-party websites, and credit card coverage. The renter should contact their insurance company before arrival with any questions regarding their specific coverage. If the renter declines both TPL and NPP, the renter is financially responsible for the cost of damage to third-party vehicles or injuries to third parties during the rental period.
