Santa Maria is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the surrounding area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Make tracks to Passo Fundo for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 80 miles from Santa Maria, it has numerous amazing sights like Bella Citta Shopping Center.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Maria with Expedia?
Nabbing an awesome deal on your Santa Maria rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare the offers from major suppliers. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and above can rent a car in Santa Maria. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the associated cost, before reserving your ride. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
The main requirements are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the States. Driving around Santa Maria won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Maria?
With car rental rates starting as low as and a day in Santa Maria within the past seven days, you'll be zooming away with your own fantastic deal in next to no time. 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 Maria?
You can. We partner with reputable providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Santa Maria — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Santa Maria, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise idea for your upcoming Santa Maria adventure. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
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 home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
