Train and Subway

Another cheap and convenient mode of transport it’s the train system that links Santiago and the rest of the country. The Metro subway system is clean, efficient and safe. It is a great and very inexpensive way to get around Santiago.

Taxi

Some cabs do not have meters and hence it’s advisable to negotiate and determine the cost to reach your destination before you enter the taxi. Taxis in town are fairly cheap and convenient.

Car

Streets in most cities are well organized with street signs rush hour traffic can be a problem. However the signs, highway numbers and maps can be confusing. It is possible to rent a car from various agencies and is not very expensive. Most highways are in good condition with gas stations, motels, stores and other facilities along the way. The Panamericana route is the backbone of Chile’s highway system almost running along the entire length of the country with tolls along several segments.
