CCP Airport Car Rental — Concepción Airport

Carriel Sur Airport (CCP) in Concepción is Chile's third-busiest airport and has as many as 12 car rental companies in the terminal – the largest selection in southern Chile. The airport is just 7 km northwest of the city center, about a 10-minute drive via Avenida Jorge Alessandri. The airport borders Talcahuano Bay and the port, an important industrial area.

From here you can reach Tomé, a charming coastal town, in 35 km north (about 40 min). To the south, Route 5 leads toward Los Ángeles (120 km, 1.5 hours) and on toward the lakes in the Los Lagos region. With 12 rental companies on-site, you can easily compare prices directly in the terminal, but pre-booking always gives the best price and guarantees availability.

Take Avenida Jorge Alessandri south for the fastest route to the center – avoid Avenida Costanera during rush hour. Rent a car with GPS or use offline maps, as mobile coverage can be weak in the rural areas of the Bio Bio region. How long does it take to drive from Concepción Airport to the center?

About 10–15 minutes (7 km) via Avenida Jorge Alessandri under normal traffic conditions. Can I return the car at the airport if I rented in the center? Yes, most major rental companies with offices in both the center and at the airport allow this, but a drop-off fee may apply.

What types of vehicles are most commonly available at Concepción Airport? Everything from compact sedans to SUVs is available. During winter, a car with winter tires is recommended if you plan to travel toward the Andes.
