Global Rent a Car Review and Rating

Global Rent a Car is a vehicle rental company based in Puerto Montt that struggles with inconsistent service across the Los Lagos region in southern Chile. Despite claiming to serve both residents and tourists in Patagonia and the lakes districts, customers often face outdated or poorly maintained vehicles and hidden fees. Promises of unlimited mileage frequently come with unexpected restrictions, and their delivery and collection options at airports, hotels, or other locations are often delayed or unreliable. Their online reservation system is confusing, and customer support via phone or email rarely resolves issues promptly, making car rental a frustrating experience rather than a convenient one.

  • Unlimited mileage often comes with hidden limitations and extra charges
  • Delivery and collection services are regularly delayed or unavailable
  • Fleet includes some outdated or poorly maintained vehicles
  • Customer support via phone, WhatsApp, and email is slow and unhelpful

Good vehicle but booking system needs urgent improvement in usability

Car itself was fine, clean and well maintained. However, their online booking site was clunky and confusing. It took me almost 30 minutes to complete the reservation. Once done, everything else went smoothly. Hope they upgrade their website soon.

Fast service and well-maintained cars, ideal for quick business trips

Used Global Rent a Car for a short business trip to Santiago. The pickup was fast and the car was clean and efficient. I appreciated their professionalism and would recommend them for quick rentals without any fuss.

Service was okay, but car cleanliness was a bit disappointing overall

I found the rental service to be just okay. The car given had some dirt inside and outside. Not very pleasant for the price paid. Customer service was polite but didn’t offer much help regarding the condition.

Affordable car rental with decent service but room for improvement

I rented a car from Global Rent a Car during my trip to Chile. The process was straightforward and prices were reasonable. The vehicle was in good condition, though the customer support could be a bit more responsive. Overall, a solid option if you want a no-fuss rental experience without paying premium prices.

Rental prices were fair but I wished customer support was more helpful

The vehicle quality was acceptable, but I faced difficulties reaching customer support when I needed assistance. It affected the overall experience negatively. While the rates were competitive, better service would greatly improve their offering.

Service was underwhelming with lack of clarity on vehicle insurance options

I felt the information related to insurance was confusing and not offered clearly during booking and pickup. This made me uncomfortable when driving. Vehicle itself was fine, but transparency and communication need work here.

Professional and reliable car rental service, but slow pickup process

I appreciated the professionalism at Global Rent a Car. The vehicle was clean and well-maintained. However, the pickup took more time than expected due to understaffing. The overall experience was good, and I would recommend them for travelers who aren't in a rush.

Friendly people, decent cars and a rental company that keeps it real

Global Rent a Car was pretty cool to deal with. Not perfect but they don’t pretend to be. Their cars got the job done, staff was friendly and the price was fair. If you want no-nonsense Chile car rental, these guys work.

Got me around Santiago with no hassles, cool people handled my booking

Yo, gotta say the peeps at Global Rent a Car were chill. Picked up my ride with zero drama. Car was okay, nothing fancy but got me where I needed. Took a bit longer to get paperwork but hey, no big deal for the price. Would hit them up again if I’m back in Chile.

Not impressed with the delayed responses from customer support agents

The car was fine, but what really let me down was the customer support. Emails and calls were answered late or sometimes not at all. For a company that needs to build trust, quick communication is key and they failed there.

Not great, not terrible – average rental with some frustrating delays

Car quality was okay but the pickup line was painfully slow and disorganized. Staff seemed overwhelmed but polite. For the price, it’s acceptable but could be improved. Would think twice before booking again.

Cool dudes with decent rides but booking took longer than expected

I had a decent experience with Global Rent a Car. The guys were friendly and vehicles were okay for my trip around Chile. The only downer was that the booking process was a bit slow and required follow-ups. Still, nothing major to stop me from using them again.
