Answer 1

You need a Internacional Driver License, for drive and for rent a car.

Carabineros to control this in the roads.

If you make it valid your license you should go to Auto Club of Chile.

Answer 2

Under the provisions of the Warsaw Convention you require a full photo UK/EU approved driving licence. With that you can drive in Chile (as a visitor) for a maximum of 12 calendar months. If you move there to live your licence will only be valid for 3 calendar months

Answer 3

You will be fine, they dont worry about documents over in South america, manyana rules the day. Having your old one would be more than sufficient.

BTW i only just got my photo driving license having been stopped by the old bill. It took less that a week to come back, so if you have time apply for a photo version, not that youll need it.
