Hi,

To be able to move in Chile, a lot of expatriates think of buying a car, whether new or second-hand.

What are the formalities to buy a vehicle in Chile: car registration, insurance, etc.?

What are the relevant authorities or organizations to contact?

How long does it take and what are the associated costs?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

You need a RUT number which is easy to get when you land in Chile. Besides that, just go into a car dealership and buy one. Or get on chileautos.cl and find one. Insurance is really , really cheap.
