Can I drive in Santa Barbara with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places 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: 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 certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
