There is no train from Santiago to Puerto Montt.

It goes only as far as Chillan.

Busses are best.

Or if you love trains change at Chillan to break the journey.

One way car rentals are very expensive.

I agree. Busses are best.
I think there may be a rail in the north. Mostly a tourist attraction.
I've also been looking at car rentals and the best deal I've come across is $300 a week for a compact, pickup and drop off in Santiago. Just search it on kayak. I was thinking of taking that little Renault into the Atacama and adventuring every bit of the desert for a week.
