Rental Requirements

To rent a vehicle in Brazil, drivers must generally meet the following requirements:

  • Minimum age: The standard minimum age is 21 years old. Some companies accept drivers aged 18 to 20 subject to a young driver surcharge.
  • Driver's license: A valid driver's license from your home country. While often sufficient for Mercosur visitors, carrying an International Driving Permit (IDP) is recommended to avoid insurance or law enforcement issues.
  • Credit card: A physical credit card in the primary renter's name is required for the security deposit hold.
  • Identification: A valid passport (for international travelers) or national ID card (for Mercosur citizens).

Companies, opening hours and desk locations can change. Check with the rental company before booking.

Tips for renting a car in Brazil

  1. Check that your driver's license is valid in Brazil. Some countries also ask for an International Driving Permit (IDP), which is only valid together with your national license.
  2. Review what the rental includes: collision damage waiver, third-party liability and the deductible. Most companies also hold a deposit on a credit card in the driver's name.
  3. Learn the local rules before you drive: speed limits, right of way, alcohol limits and tolls.
  4. Check which side of the road traffic drives on and where the steering wheel is.
  5. At pickup, photograph the car (inside and out) and the fuel level, and keep the photos until the deposit is returned.
  6. Know what to do in an accident: who to call, what to document and how to report it to the rental company.
