How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
You have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements to be aware of before you book your Santa Cruz wheels. If you're a young driver, most rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between outlets. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the States. Motoring around Santa Cruz won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarize yourself with the local road rules.

With car rental prices starting as low as and a day in Santa Cruz within the past seven days, you'll be zooming off with your own amazing deal before long. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Santa Cruz outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
We recommend purchasing collision protection while booking your Santa Cruz car rental with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe easy knowing you're covered for many mishaps. It's easy to opt in to this insurance while making your booking.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements 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, 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
