What Should I Do If I Have An Accident or Breakdown in Chile?
Should you be involved in an accident, you must call the emergency services and the car rental provider immediately. You must not move the car unless it is unsafe to leave it in its present position. Switch on the hazard warning lights. It is recommended you contact us at the same time to ensure you follow the correct procedure.
In the unfortunate event that you breakdown, you must put on the vehicle’s hazard warning lights or place a warning triangle behind your vehicle in to warn other motorists. Contact the provider who will be able to advise you further.
