Auto huren Puerto Montt Centrum

Puerto Montt is the gateway to Patagonia and the Los Lagos region, located at the Reloncaví Fjord in southern Chile. With 7 rental companies in the center, you have good opportunities to find a car suited to your journey toward volcanoes, lakes and ferry routes heading south. The city is the starting point for the Carretera Austral, one of the world's most spectacular highways.

From Puerto Montt center it takes approximately 20 km and 25 minutes to drive to El Tepual airport. Puerto Varas, a charming lake town on Lago Llanquihue, is just 20 km north and reached in 20 minutes. The ferry terminal in Angelmó, the city's fishing port, is located 2 km west of the center.

Book a car in advance if you plan to drive the Carretera Austral – the road often requires four-wheel drive. Check that your insurance covers gravel roads since large sections of the Carretera Austral are unpaved. Always fill up with a full tank in Puerto Montt – gas stations along the Carretera Austral are sparsely located.

Can I drive from Puerto Montt to Bariloche in Argentina with a rental car? Yes, via the Paso Pérez Rosales border crossing (Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park) approximately 100 km east, but check with the rental company that border crossing is permitted and that the car is insured in Argentina. Do I need four-wheel drive to explore the area around Puerto Montt?

For regular excursions to Puerto Varas and Frutillar a regular car will suffice, but for the Carretera Austral and more remote destinations, 4x4 is strongly recommended.

It's approximately 90 km to Pargua where the ferry to Chiloé departs, then another 90 km to Castro – total approximately 3 hours including the 30-minute ferry crossing.
