$28 Car Rental Copacabana

Copacabana is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the wider area. Here are a few places to choose from:

• Cabo Frio is roughly 75 miles from Copacabana. Famous sights like Japanese Island deserve to be high on your list here.
• Situated 70 miles away, Angra dos Reis is also a favorite with wanderers. Set aside time to get to Lopes Mendes Beach while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
• Amantikir Park is around 150 miles from Copacabana and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order 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 be asked 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 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 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 the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
