After perfectly planning your road trip, don't skimp on your insurance — add collision protection while booking your Santa Maria car rental with Expedia. There are lots of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and round-the-clock emergency support, you can breathe a little easier if the unexpected occurs.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID 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 additional requirements for international car rentals are:

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