Hi,
Does anyone have any recommendations on car rental options in Santiago. My family and I will finish our walk on Saturday June 11th and would like to rent a car for a couple of days.
Thanks,
Brian
 
Holoholo automatically captures your footpaths, places, photos, and journals.
Look at Google Maps Maps or Maps on your Ipad
in front of theSantiago railwaystation is Enterprise Rent a CarCompany
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I booked a car from the rail station via Booking.com yesterday, mostly bc I was already on there arranging a hotel. It was super easy. I ended up getting a small sedan via Budget and was happy I could pick up at the train station rather than the airport.
 
KJE: did it require an international drivers license or was your California one valid for rental?

Your state DL will do.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).

In the past I have used Enterprise near the railway station. Helpful adn reasonably priced.
 
A six-timer, I have used car-rental numerous times, if only to leisurely drive to Finisterre and Muxia (and to return the car the next day at the airport), and once to do a reverse CN back to Pamplona (beautiful!).
I never had a problem finding two or three other Peregrinos' to share rides and costs.
Taking a brief look at Rentalcar.com though, I noticed that the rates in high season have considerably risen since my last rental (2018), scrutinize the online offers! And no: you don't need an international driver's license as a tourist.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Thank You! I'll check it out!
