The rental company
Andes Campers, five formats to cross Chile
Andes Campers is a Chilean rental company specialising in converted vehicles. Its Santiago depot is in Recoleta, north of the centre of the capital, and its network stretches the full length of the country. In the north, Arica, Iquique, Calama, San Pedro de Atacama and Copiapo open onto the desert. In the centre, La Serena, Valparaiso and Concepción line the Pacific. Further south come Temuco, Valdivia and Puerto Montt; in Patagonia, Coyhaique and Punta Arenas.
The range brings together twelve models in five formats. The Compact Camper models are 4x4s with roof tents and the Adventurer Camper models are converted vans, designed for two. Six models are campers mounted on pick-ups, from the Discover for two to the Trek, Wild and Partner with five seats. The Nomad Camper campervan offers four berths and the Premium Camper overcab five. Only the Partner Camper has an automatic gearbox.
CoolDrive observed no Andes Campers offers in October 2026: included mileage, excess and price appear when you search, detailed offer by offer.
Our view: a very varied range, from vehicles for two to the overcab for five, and a network that lets you set off as close as possible to your chosen region. The rental company advertises well-maintained vehicles and a team ready to advise on your route. Weak points: manual gearboxes on eleven models, no depot listed at an airport or in Puerto Natales, and no offer observed yet to judge the conditions.

Our view
Andes Campers: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?
Andes Campers is ideal if…
- Your trip links the northern desert and the southern lakes: the network covers both
- You are torn between a roof tent, van, pick-up camper or overcab and want to compare them all with one rental company
- You are a family of five and want everyone to sleep on board the Premium Camper
- You want an automatic pick-up camper: the Partner Camper is one
- You are starting from Copiapo, La Serena or Concepción, cities served less often
- You like sleeping up high, in the roof tent of a Compact Camper
Andes Campers is not ideal if…
- You want conditions already observed by CoolDrive: no Andes Campers offers were observed in October 2026
- You insist on an automatic in a format other than the pick-up camper
- You are travelling as a group of six or more
- You want to start from Puerto Natales, at the foot of Torres del Paine
- Unlimited mileage is essential for you: Kawascars Camper Rentals offers it in all its observed offers
Practical tips
Our tips for booking with Andes Campers
-
Choose the format before the model
For two on tarmac, an Adventurer Camper van remains easy to park. For gravel tracks, a Discover pick-up camper or a Compact Camper with roof tent. For three or five with luggage, look at the Trek, Wild or Partner, and for a family the Nomad Camper or the Premium Camper overcab.
-
Read the mileage allowance
Chile stretches over 4,000 km from north to south and the stages are long. Each Andes Campers offer states whether mileage is included or capped, and the price beyond that. Estimate your route before choosing, especially if you are aiming for both the Atacama and the Lake District.
-
Walk around the vehicle at handover
Photograph the bodywork, tyres and windscreen, then check the inventory: stove, crockery, bedding, spare wheel and jack. Test the heating and water before setting off. This quarter of an hour saves you discussions on return and nasty surprises far from any town.
-
Keep the assistance number close at hand
Between two Atacama towns or on the Carretera Austral, the phone signal often disappears. Write the rental company's assistance number down on paper, download offline maps and fill up at every station: they can be several hundred kilometres apart.
-
Prepare for cold nights at altitude
Around San Pedro de Atacama and on the Altiplano, nights can drop below zero, even in summer. With a roof tent or a pick-up camper, take warm clothes and a good sleeping bag, and check in the offer whether heating is included.
What travellers ask
Your questions about Andes Campers
How much does an Andes Campers hire in Chile cost?
CoolDrive observed no Andes Campers prices in October 2026, so we cannot quote a reliable rate. The amount varies with the model, departure city, season and length of hire. Enter your dates and chosen depot: the search engine shows the full price of each available offer, mandatory fees included, along with the excess and mileage.
Which Andes Campers model should you choose for your group size?
For two, the choice is wide: Adventurer vans, Compact 4x4s with roof tents or Discover pick-up campers. The X-plorer carries four people but sleeps only two. For three, the Trek and Wild have three berths. For four, the Nomad or the Partner. For five, only the Premium Camper overcab offers everyone a bed.
Does Andes Campers hire out automatic vehicles?
Only one model in the current range: the Partner Camper, a pick-up camper with five seats and four berths. The other eleven, from the Compact Camper to the Premium Camper, have manual gearboxes. If an automatic is essential, filter the results on this model and book early, as it comes in a single format only.
Which depot should you leave from for the Atacama Desert?
Five northern cities have a depot. San Pedro de Atacama puts you right among the geysers and lagoons, Calama is its gateway by air. Arica opens onto Lauca National Park and the Altiplano, Iquique onto the Tarapacá coast, Copiapo onto the southern desert and the high peaks of the cordillera.
Is mileage unlimited with Andes Campers?
We cannot say: with no Andes Campers offers observed in October 2026, CoolDrive has no data on this point. The included mileage, or the allowance and the price per extra kilometre, appear in the details of each offer. Given Chilean distances, read this line before any other, especially for a north-to-south trip.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Andes Campers campervan hire in Chile
Why book Andes Campers with CoolDrive?
On CoolDrive, Andes Campers offers appear in the same search as those from Holiday Rent RV, Camper Travel, Kawascars Camper Rentals or Alpacas adventure. You compare the total price, the excess and the type of mileage on a single page. Our experts then answer your questions about the format, the departure depot and the route of your trip.
Where is the Andes Campers depot in Santiago?
The address observed is Antonia Prado 283, in the district of Recoleta, north of the city centre and not far from Cerro San Cristóbal. It is not located at the airport: plan a taxi or transfer after landing. In the other thirteen cities, the exact handover location is given in the booking confirmation.
Can you pick up the vehicle in one city and return it in another?
With depots from one end of the country to the other, a one-way trip is tempting, for example from Calama to La Serena or from Temuco to Puerto Montt. It all depends on the depots, the dates and the fees set by the rental company. Enter your arrival city in the search engine: only compatible offers are shown, return cost included.
What excess and security deposit does Andes Campers charge?
Our October 2026 observations contain no Andes Campers offers, so we have no amount to give you. The excess and security deposit are specified in the details of each offer, along with the accepted means of payment. Make sure your credit card can cover the deposit, and ask our experts about a possible partial excess reduction.
Can you cross into Argentina or Bolivia with an Andes Campers vehicle?
A detour to Salta, Uyuni or El Calafate is tempting from the north or from Patagonia. Crossing a border, however, depends on the rental company's conditions and in principle requires written authorisation and documents prepared in advance. Mention your plans before booking: our experts check with Andes Campers what is possible.
In which season should you hire an Andes Campers vehicle?
It depends on the region. The desert north can be explored all year round, with mild days and freezing nights at altitude. Central Chile is well suited to spring and autumn. For Coyhaique and Punta Arenas, aim for November to March: in the southern winter, snow, wind and short days make the road more demanding.
