Car Rental Praia Vermelha

Praia Vermelha has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

• Make tracks to Sao Paulo for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Approximately 95 miles from Praia Vermelha, it's home to lots of cool sights like Paulista Museum.
• Your next pit stop? It has to be Campos do Jordão, which is around 60 miles away. Amantikir Park is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
• Christ the Redeemer is about 130 miles from Praia Vermelha and is one of the region's most scenic nature spots. Go for a walk around 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 to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many 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 fine print before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
