If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
