How to find Hertz at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport
Collecting your Hertz car rental starts with knowing where to go. You could be going to a pickup point right at the airport, meeting staff after you land, or catching a shuttle bus to the rental lot. Run a car rental search and use the 'Pickup' filter to explore the available options at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport.
Airport terminal: Pick up your ride right where you land. Counters are next to or inside the arrival terminal, so you go from baggage claim to the driver's seat fast.
Free shuttle bus: The rental site is based near the airport rather than at the terminal. A free bus takes you to where your car is waiting.
Meet and greet: A representative meets you at the terminal soon after you land. They hand over the rental paperwork and your keys right there.
Want a quicker way to get to your car? Some providers offer self-service pickup, where you collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk instead of a desk. No queuing for keys, no standing around for paperwork, just a faster start to your trip.
Hertz car rental at Santiago Arturo Merino Benitez Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Make use of the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic does the gear changing for you, while Manual is the classic stick shift. The majority of rental companies include both.
Fuel policy: Go for a 'Fair fuel policy' to keep things simple. You pick up the car full and return it full, which means you're only paying for the fuel you use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you the freedom to explore without racking up added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Side of the road: Traffic in Chile keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's 45kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Required documents: As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence and another form of photo ID when collecting your Hertz car rental. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Deposits and credit card: Providers commonly place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card for the security deposit. Debit cards are not always accepted at pickup, so it's a good idea to have a credit card with you.
Insurance: Car rental excess insurance isn't required, but it can save you from paying a big excess fee. Make sure you understand what's included before you book.
Add ons: GPS units, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Hertz car rental. Organise them ahead of time to make pickup easier.
