Car Rental Santa Marta

Santa Marta has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and head off to explore the surrounding area. Here are some ideas:

• Porto Alegre is approximately 65 miles from Santa Marta. Famous attractions like Beira-Rio Stadium should be high on your list while you're in town.
• Located 85 miles away, Passo Fundo is also popular with travelers. Be sure to check out Bella Citta Shopping Center while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this vibrant city.
• Get out into the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Mole Beach. It's 220 miles from Santa Marta.

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. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's 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. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
