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

Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Rio?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Rio, the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Rio?
Just like the States, you'll need to stick to the right in Italy. But that doesn't mean the road rules are the same as at home. Brush up on the local traffic laws before motoring around Rio.
What is the cheapest car rental in Rio?

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rio?

Where can I find a Rio car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Rio often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however others may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to escape any nasty surprises on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Rio?
After carefuly planning your escape, don't scrimp on your insurance — add collision protection while reserving your Rio rental vehicle with Expedia. There are numerous advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency support, you can breathe a little easier should a mishap occur.
Can I drive in Rio with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Italy, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you 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'll need to be 25 or over 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
