Car Rental Lourdes

There's loads to do in Lourdes, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can explore the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic destinations to your list:

• Ouro Preto is roughly 40 miles from Lourdes. Top-rated attractions like Tiradentes Square should be high on your list here.
• Your next stop? It has to be Divinopolis, which is around 65 miles away. Shopping Pátio Divinópolis is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
• Get into nature and breathe in some fresh air at Christ the Redeemer. You'll find it roughly 210 miles from Lourdes.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked 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 vehicle matches the name on your 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 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
