If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
