• Make your way to Bento Goncalves for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Roughly 80 miles from Vila Santa Maria, it has tons of great attractions like Casa Valduga Winery.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification 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. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
