How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rio de Janeiro?

Can I drive in Rio de Janeiro with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
