Car Rental Santa Maria

There's so much to do in Santa Maria, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can explore the greater area at your own pace. Add these fantastic destinations to your list:

• Make your way to Campos do Jordão for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. About 85 miles from Santa Maria, it's home to loads of cool sights like Amantikir Park.
• Your next pit stop? Make it Angra dos Reis, which is around 120 miles away. Lopes Mendes Beach is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
• Get out into the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Christ the Redeemer. You'll find it around 170 miles from Santa Maria.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You must 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 fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
