If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
