Check each company's age requirements before booking your rental in Brazil. Rules can differ, and some restrictions or fees may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' box and enter your age to browse your options.

As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Spend some time getting acquainted with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and blinkers, and get used to how it handles before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Brazil.
