Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some suppliers in Brazil may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee.

Kids coming with you? Child car seat laws differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Check if you need to add one to your NAT car hire reservation.

Familiarise yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Brazil.
Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph in built-up areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
