Awto

Awto is a carsharing company with a presence in Latin America. It operates a station-based, app-enabled carsharing service that allows users to locate, reserve, unlock, and drive vehicles by the minute, hour, or day. The company is headquartered in Santiago, Chile, and its primary consumer-facing website is site.awto.cl. Awto has expanded beyond its home market into several other Latin American countries, positioning itself as a regional mobility platform rather than a single-city operator. Its fleet typically includes compact and subcompact cars suited to urban driving, and its service model emphasizes flexible, short-term access over traditional car rental. As a private company, Awto has not disclosed detailed financial statements or a public listing. The brand competes in the broader Latin American shared-mobility space alongside other carsharing and ride-hailing services, and it has been associated with corporate and municipal partnerships aimed at reducing private car ownership and congestion in dense urban areas.
