Can I drive in São José 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 place of residence in order to rent a car.

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 other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
