What does the additional driver option actually mean? If you specify another person as an additional driver when booking, you can take turns driving the hired car. Distances in Chile are often very long. If only one person drives the hired car, this can be quite exhausting. So that the driver can sit back and relax, too, you can simply hand over the steering wheel to the additional driver.
With a hired car, you are able to discover Chile by yourself. Enjoy the benefits of a hired car, for example being able to explore the different sights of Chile flexible and independent, apart from public transport and touristic groups.
