For a smooth, stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism.

Can I drive in Santa Barbara with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need 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 vehicle matches the name on your driver's 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
