What side of the road do you drive on in São José?

Where can I find a São José car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the São José rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in São José?
It's wise to have collision protection to cover your São José car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and a zero-dollar deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in São José 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 place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
