How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sao Jose?
You'll need to be at least 21 to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Sao Jose.

Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Sao Jose?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Sao Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Sao Jose rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Sao Jose?
After carefuly planning your getaway, don't skimp on safety — add collision protection while booking your Sao Jose rental car with Expedia. There are many benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Sao Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
