Puerto Natales car hire

You will find when booking car hire in Puerto Natales that your only options are SUV vehicles, and this is because, really, they are essential. While the city centre is no problem, getting around this area of Chile and most of its attractions will require an SUV. A lot of the national parks and sights at this end of the country have unsealed, steep roads, and an economy or compact vehicle simply wouldn’t do the job.

The speed limit within the centre of Puerto Natales will usually be 50-60 km/h unless otherwise signed. Once you get out of the city and hit rural roads, the standard speed limit is 100 km/h and then 120 km/h on the highways. Do be sure to pay close attention to signs for speed limits to avoid any fines added to the cost of your car hire in Puerto Natales.

Parking in Puerto Natales is abundant and free with plenty of street parking, and most accommodations offer parking for your car hire in Puerto Natales as well.

There is parking at the ferry terminal if you are venturing that way to Puerto Montt, and parking is available at shopping centres and attractions within the city.
