Tips and advice on renting a car in Brazil

Here we have put together some tips on what to consider when looking for a rental car in Brazil and regions/states such as São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Pernambuco, Ceará, Pará and Maranhão.

Are there several of you who will drive the car? Where are you going?

Extra driver? If more than one person is driving the car, this must be stated at the time of booking or at the company upon arrival. Remember that there may be restrictions on driving the car to other countries and taking the car from or to islands such as Santa Catarina Island, Santo Amaro Island, Island of Saint Sebastiao and Ilha de Itamaracá.

Review the contract & terms carefully

Review and read the rental conditions before booking the rental car. Autoprio.com offers rental cars from several different rental car companies and the conditions differ between the different companies.

Autoprio.com offers cheap rental cars from several different rental car companies in Brazil and the contract differs between the different companies. If there is something you do not understand in the contract, ask someone from the company on site or contact us directly.

Refuel the car before returning it

Different companies have different fuel conditions. If the car is to be refueled before return, do so to avoid extra fees from the rental car company. Some smaller companies have an administrative fee for refueling the car if it is to be left empty, which is stated in the conditions but not always in the total price. Look extra carefully at the refueling regulations! If the company has 'Pick up full, drop off empty' then there may be an administrative fee for refueling. Any fee is stated during the booking. It is often the cheaper companies that have 'Pick up full, drop off empty'.

Book as early as possible

Book as early as possible, it will usually be more expensive if you wait. In large cities such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Curitiba, Manaus, Recife and Belém, prices often rise the later you book. It can also be difficult to find cars at major airports such as São Paulo-Guarulhos Airport, São Paulo-Congonhas Airport, Rio de Janeiro-Galeão Airport, Santos Dumont Airport, Salvador Airport, Pinto Martins Fortaleza Airport, Belo Horizonte Airport, Brasilia Airport, Curitiba Airport and Manaus Airport, if you wait too long.

Check that free mileage is included in the rent. If free mileage is not included, check that the number of kilometers in the contract is sufficient. All major companies have unlimited mileage, but less expensive companies may have a maximum mileage per day.

Do a quick inspection upon pickup

Inspect and examine the rental car when you pick it up. Check that all damages, scratches and dents are included in the condition report. Check how big the deductible is! What often differentiates between smaller, cheaper companies in Brazil and larger global companies is the amount of the deductible.
