Good to know
Rental age requirements aren't the same everywhere. Companies can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you could face extra fees or restrictions. Check the specific rules for each supplier before booking your rental in Brazil.
If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a car seat to your Brasilia car rental booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
You'll have to provide some documents when collecting your car. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stick to the right side of the road in Brazil.
Stay within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
It's illegal to drink and drive in Brazil. The country has a zero-tolerance policy, so find another way to travel if you're planning to consume alcohol.
Around 6pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
You'll be using the Brazilian real (BRL) here. In addition to your credit and debit cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.
