Carwiz International took on a new journey recently by entering the South American market, starting with Chile.

Carwiz has opened two locations in Santiago, Chile – one in the downtown area and the other at Santiago-Rosalía de Castro Airport, the country's main gateway. The Santiago operation is the first chapter in the company’s South American plans, with more locations planned for the near future.

The Santiago Airport recently underwent substantial modernization, expansion, and upgrade that now encompasses 359,000 square yards, with 574,000 square yards dedicated to the newly opened international passenger terminal.

This modernization positions Santiago Airport as Chile's largest, busiest, and most advanced airport, aligning with Carwiz’s car rental services.
