How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Rental car rules in Santa Maria require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental companies impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Renting a car in Santa Maria is a cinch. Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and a credit card. After you've found your perfect set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no extra requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Whether you're basing yourself in Santa Maria or journeying through Brazil, you'll be driving on the right. While this is obviously the same as the U.S, there will be differences in traffic rules.

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in Santa Maria, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
For a stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers 24/7 emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Santa Maria ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
