Car Rental Brasília

Once you've covered all the great sights in Brasília, there's a lot more to see in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, throw your luggage in the trunk and hit the road. Here are some road trips you're sure to enjoy:

• Salinópolis is about 90 miles from Brasília. Top-rated tourist spots like Farol Velho Beach deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
• Next stop? It has to be Soure, which is around 55 miles away. Praia do Pesqueiro is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
• Head to Praia de Ajuruteua to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Brasília, it's around 130 miles away.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places 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 rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
