When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy requires returning the vehicle with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' requires it to be returned at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is generally more economical.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Gramado, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Make sure your rental agreement, identification, and insurance details are accessible throughout your rental period for easy retrieval if needed.

Be sure to know if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in the event of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
