However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to understand your cancellation policy. Read through your confirmation for the specifics or go to our [Customer Service Portal](https://www.expedia.ca/helpcenter) for more information. ### How do I find the best car rental deals in South America with Expedia? > Browse our fantastic selection of rental cars, check out customer recommendations and compare prices from popular suppliers. In a few easy clicks, Expedia will help you nab the best deal on your ride. Got a hotel or flight booking? Add on your South America car rental to save even more. ### How old do you have to be to rent a car in South America? > Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in South America. Be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21. ### What do you need to rent a car in South America? > Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any issues. ### Can I rent a car for a month or longer in South America? > Visit our [long-term car rental deals](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-hire/long-term) page, enter your preferences and then secure your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in South America or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate. ### Where can I find a South America car rental if I am younger than 25? > Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in South America often depends on the rental company you select. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape any surprise charges when collecting your car. ## Car Rental Information | Popular car types: | [SUV](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/suv?rfrr=car.table.SUV), [Full Size](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/fullsize?rfrr=car.table.FullSize), [Economy](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/economy?rfrr=car.table.Economy) | | --- | --- | | From the airport to your hotel: | [Airport Transportation](https://www.expedia.ca/ground-transfers?rfrr=car.table.AirportTransportation) | -
