Car Hire in Brazil

Consider local weather conditions and seasonal variations that might affect driving, such as snow or rain.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

When renting a car from Brazil, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar, Foco Aluguel De Carros, Locarx,Movida, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Before renting, verify what your travel insurance or credit card covers for rental vehicles in Brazil.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.
