Question 1

Do I need to return the car with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

Whether you need to return the car with a full tank of gas depends on the fuel policy you select. With a full-to-full or same-to-same policy, you must return the vehicle with the same level of fuel it had when you picked it up. If you don’t, you’ll incur a charge for the missing fuel, usually at a rate higher than local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank, which means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, this option typically results in a higher overall cost, as you’ll be charged the local gas price minus a discount per gallon.

Question 2

What type of car is recommended for driving in Sao Paulo

Accepted Answer

In Sao Paulo, you can usually hire a variety of car types including Mini, Economy, Compact, Compact SUV, Standard, Intermediate, Intermediate SUV, and Pick Up Truck. These options cater to different needs and preferences, ensuring you find the right vehicle for your trip.

Question 3

Is a valid passport required for car hire in Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo?

Accepted Answer

For car hire in Sao Paulo station, a valid passport is generally required for international customers. Domestic renters typically only need a valid driver’s license. In the United States and Canada, residents usually need just a valid driver’s license to rent a vehicle. In Europe, EU residents can often use their home country driver’s license. However, identification requirements can vary by country and region, so it's always a good idea to check with the rental company for specific details before you travel.

Question 4

Can another person drive my rental vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, another person can drive your hire vehicle, but they must be authorised by the hire company. Typically, you need to add them as an additional driver when booking or picking up the car. There may be an extra fee for adding additional drivers, and they must meet the same age and driving licence requirements as the primary driver. Check with the car hire company for specific terms and conditions.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 6

What is the deposit amount for a car hire in Sao Paulo?

Accepted Answer

This deposit is generally held on your credit card to cover any potential additional charges or damages. To ensure you are aware of the exact deposit amount and any other associated costs, check the details during the booking process. This information is usually provided on the booking site. Additionally, be aware that the deposit will be refunded to your card after the car is returned, provided there are no extra charges or damages.

Question 7

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Sao Paulo?

Accepted Answer

If you already have insurance that covers international rentals for your vehicle type or if your credit card offers rental insurance abroad, you might not need extra coverage.
