If you want to save money, talk to agencies in a city you go to beforehand, then go in physically to their office to get a better price.

Also in many cases you can get a cash discount.

I’m intrigued, but what agencies are these? Travel agencies? Isn’t it usually more economical to go direct to the transportation provider yourself?

Yes, travel agencies.

It depends on what you need, and what is necessary. If you want to do an ice climbing on Villarrica in Pucón, Chile, transportation might not be enough.

If you want to visit the national park on Rapa Nui Island, you need a guide for many attractions. Similar on Galapagos Island.

Sometimes only a transportation is more economical. Sometimes renting a car. Sometimes a guided tour.

Also they depend on how many you are? 1 person, 2 people, more?

It is quite interesting, that you would think, that splitting transportation costs between many people is cheaper. But sometimes, a rented car is cheaper.

Sorry, tour agencies
