Another option is to take a micro (mini bus) in Valparaíso to Placilla and leave the bus in the entrance to Placilla, then walk like 500 meters to the last petrol station, which is COPEC (there are three petrol stations in a row) always walking near the highway. After the COPEC there is a curve where all the trucks leave the city and it is very easy to catch one. Not all the trucks go to Santiago so try to take one going straight there or get off at the last toll plaza before Santiago called ''Peaje Lo Prado'' and catch another lift.

If you happen to be going to Valparaíso and your driver is going to Viña del Mar, your fastest option is to get off in Placilla located 12 km south from Valpo. From there you can take a micro (mini bus) going to the city centre. It should cost around 600 pesos. The bus stop is located on the side of the motorway near the pedestrian bridge over the road.
