Localiza, Foco and Movida are among the most trusted providers in the city. Use them as a starting point to compare offers.
Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Niterói car hire policy, whether you go with Localiza or a different supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.
Choosing a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Simply select 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can bag some excellent one-way prices on a car for rent in Niterói.
Cut down on fuel costs by picking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and return it full, so you're only paying for what you use.
Want to explore freely without worrying about how many miles you clock up? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and drive as far as you like without the extra costs.

Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by supplier (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Brazil may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
Travelling with kids? Car seat rules vary from one location to another, and the correct setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Find out if you need to add one to your Niterói car rental reservation.
You'll be asked for some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
If you haven't driven before in Brazil, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Local speed limits are often about 45kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.
Drinking and driving are not allowed under any circumstances in Brazil. The country has a zero-tolerance policy, so hand over the keys if your plans involve alcohol.
Around 6pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.
You'll be using the Brazilian real (BRL) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash to ensure you're covered in all situations.
