How to find a cheap car hire deal in Bauru

  • Grab a cheap rental car in Bauru and hit the road for around 29 € a day. From short drives to open-road adventures, we'll match your plans with the right wheels.

  • 22 € is the cheapest daily price for a rental in Bauru.

  • Staying a little longer and want to explore beyond the main attractions? 153 € is the best rate for a weekly rental.

  • Book early to snap up the best price for a Bauru car hire. As well as cheaper rates, you'll be choosing from the full lineup, not what's left.

  • Find your perfect ride with Localiza, Unidas or Movida. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • The coverage Localiza or another company includes with your Bauru car hire can vary, so always read the fine print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra fee.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can snag some fantastic one-way prices on a car for rent in Bauru.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up additional charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and choose 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you roam without limits.

Different Bauru car hire providers have different insurance policies and cover levels, so check the details before booking.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could be hit with extra charges or rules. Check the exact rules for each supplier before booking your rental in Brazil.

  • Add a car seat to your Bauru car rental booking if you're bringing the kids. Rules vary from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest option.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: an official driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card to cover the deposit amount. Debit cards are generally not accepted. The full set of requirements will be laid out in your booking.

  • Driving in Brazil can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits can vary, but it's typically around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always go with what's posted on the road signs.

  • Brazil has a zero-tolerance policy for drinking and driving. Keep the car parked and arrange another way to travel if your plans involve alcohol.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run in general. 6pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the Brazilian real (BRL) on your trip here. As well as your credit and debit cards, have some cash handy for smaller purchases.
