Car Rental Santa Cruz

There are lots of things to see and do in Santa Cruz, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your travel plan:

• Head to Foz do Iguaçu for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Around 80 miles from Santa Cruz, it's home to lots of great sights, including Parque de Aves.
• Your next pit stop? Consider Francisco Beltrao, which is around 80 miles away. Eduardo Suplicy Virmond Square is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
• Venture into the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Prainha de Porto Rico. You'll find it roughly 150 miles from Santa Cruz.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID 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. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 vehicles available to rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
