How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Maria with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare costs, offers and rental companies, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Santa Maria car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Rental car rules in Santa Maria require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Most rental providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
While terms and conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the States. Traveling around Santa Maria won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local traffic rules.

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found a Santa Maria supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
It's a wise idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Santa Maria car rental against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency assistance and no deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
