Question 15

Does Brazil have any unique traffic laws?

Accepted Answer

When driving rental cars in Brazil, keep your headlights on at all times, even during the day. Avoid colliding with pedestrians at all costs, of course, but don’t halt suddenly to allow them to cross the road as the drivers behind you might overtake your hire car just when the pedestrian thinks it is safe to cross. Brasilia is the exception to this informal ‘rule’. Motorcycles are allowed to weave through traffic by constantly changing lanes. They keep up a continuous beeping, so always look and listen before changing lanes and be aware that mopeds will overtake you on both inside and outside lanes. Some of the best-kept roads are toll roads, so be prepared to pay the legally approved fee. Look for octagonal red signs marked ‘PARE’ because they are stop signs and stick to the surprisingly low speed limits indicated by signs in km/h and not mph.

Question 16

What are the legal and documentation requirements for renting a car in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Brazilian car rental agencies need to see your driving licence and some photo ID, usually your passport. Always take a printout of your car rental booking confirmation because it will often show a better deal than local on-the-spot car hire rates. Without written confirmation of your car rental deal, you will have to pay local rates. Double-check the small print as some car hire companies will not let you pay for car hire using a debit card and only accept credit card payments. Also, check the details for age restrictions. Each car rental company has its own stipulations, but you must usually be between 22 and 80 years old to drive rental cars. They may allow younger drivers to rent a car as long as they pay a young driver surcharge.

Question 17

Which areas of Brazil have the most traffic?

Accepted Answer

The heaviest traffic is in mega-cities such as Sao Paulo and Rio da Janeiro, both appearing on lists of the top ten most congested cities. Always keep your windows closed and your hire car doors locked when stationary in traffic. The capital, Brasilia, is unique as it was planned with cars in mind and has hundreds, if not thousands, of roundabouts, zebra crossings (pedestrians do have the right of way in Brasilia), speed cameras and speed bumps designed to keep traffic flowing smoothly. However, you will want to rent a car to get out of the city. Highways are marked 'BR' followed by three digits. The BR-050 linking Brasilia to Sao Paulo and the busiest port in South America, Porto de Santos, is always full of lorries carrying goods to and from the port, as is BR-101 running through twelve provinces along the East coast of Brazil.

Question 18

What are the best scenic roads in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Take into account that some of the best scenic routes in Brazil are not paved. The RS-427 that leads up from the BR-101 coastal highway into the spectacular ravines and waterfalls of the Serra Geral and Aparados da Serra national parks is sometimes impassable even in a 4WD and unsuitable for a 2WD, so always discuss your route with your car hire agency in advance. A more accessible route is to the mountain resort town of Petropolis, in the hills above Rio de Janeiro. Visitors driving rental cars often take the scenic BR-040 toll road out of Rio, then wind their way up through lush greenery and wooded hills until they reach Petropolis on the edge of the Serra dos Orgaos national park. You can also fly to elegant Sao Luis in Maranhao province in the far north of Brazil and rent a car there to explore the wide beaches and undeveloped countryside of Para and Maranhao provinces.

Question 19

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Prices for cars in Brazil were last updated today.

Question 20

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Question 21

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

Age requirements for drivers vary depending on the country, including Brazil. In several EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. Generally, to rent a car overseas, you must be at least 21 years old, and if you're under 25, you may be charged a young driver surcharge. It's recommended that you review the policy of your preferred rental company before booking.

Question 22

What documentation or ID do you need to rent a car in Brazil?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Brazil, all drivers must present a full valid driving license. An International Driving Permit is required if the driving license is written in a language different to that of the country of rental and may be necessary to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you are renting abroad, you may also need to provide proof of return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend checking with the individual rental company you are booking with.
