Car Rental in Stella Maris, Salvador, Brazil

Before you drive away, inspect the rental car for existing damage and ensure it is recorded. Taking photos can help prevent disputes upon return.

Before confirming your booking, see if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can be very beneficial if your travel plans change suddenly.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Opt for car rental suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Stella Maris, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Unidas boasts a rating of 4.8, Localiza has a rating of 4.8, and National holds a rating of 4.7.

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.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before renting, confirm if your personal auto insurance extends to rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards offer this coverage, helping you avoid extra charges.

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.
