Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to acquire 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 be asked 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 used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
