border crossing

Hi Everyone.  I will be crossing from Argentina to Chile in the next week or so.  I plan to cross at Paso de Jama on Highway 52.  Are there insurance agents at that border or does anyone know of a company that I can purchase from ahead of time online?  Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm getting a lot of mixed messages on this topic. Does anyone have resent (2017) experience with entering Peru with a car that is not registered in your name but with a legal document know as a 'poder'... any problems? If so... any solutions?

Gracias

Hi guys,

lots of information on this topic as I'm reading up on it, just not getting the whole picture here for my situation. We're hoping to buy a van with Paraguay plates in Colombia. As the plates of the van are registered in Paraguay we can't put ownership 'cedula' of the van in our name unless in Paraguay. So we would need to go to a notary and get a 'Poder' documument to give us the power of attorney over this vehicle. Up to here it's clear and sounds reasonable. However my questions are:

Hey guys,

I have discovered a way to leave Chile with your Chilean car to all countries (including Peru). That's the information that I have gathered so far. Please correct me if I'm wrong or forgot some kind of aspect :)

We are 2 Belgians , bought and registered our car in Santiago in December and travelling around. Now recently we,ve got 2 times problems at the border leaving Chili. On the 30/01/2017 when we were heading to Ushuaia and on 13/02/2017 when we crossed in Cerro Castillo from Puerto natales to Calfate.

On both occasions the customs wouldn't give us permission to leave Chili. There must be a rule which say that foreigners who are not registered as residents are not allowed to leave the country with their car. A domicilio or having a RUT is not enough.
