Car Hire in Engenheiro Luciano Cavalcante, Fortaleza, Brazil

Before finalizing your reservation, check for any promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early bird rates.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

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 Fortaleza, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Some rentals have mileage limits, while others provide unlimited options. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected charges upon return.

If you’re sharing driving responsibilities, check the regulations regarding additional drivers. Some agencies may charge extra fees, while others might offer complimentary drivers under certain conditions.

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.
