$28 Car Rental Barra da Tijuca

Barra da Tijuca has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to explore the surrounding area. These are some great options:

• You'll find Japanese Island and many other interesting attractions in Cabo Frio. From Barra da Tijuca, it's 85 miles away.
• Located 110 miles away, Ubatuba is also popular with wanderers. Set aside time to experience Itamambuca Beach while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
• Amantikir Park is approximately 140 miles from Barra da Tijuca and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
