A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your Santa Cruz adventure. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia.

Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card 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'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
