What insurance should I choose for my car rental in São José?
A thorough insurance policy is a great idea for your upcoming São José trip. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in São José with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
