Good to know
Age requirements for homes can vary by company and even car type, so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Brazil may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to explore your options.
If the kids are coming with you, check if you should add a child car seat to your Curitiba car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.
Come prepared to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's license (no electronic copies) plus another photo ID. Also bring a credit card that can cover the deposit. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.
If you're new to driving in Brazil, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
Brazil has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drinking and driving. Keep the car parked and choose a different way to get around if you plan to consume alcohol.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 6pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The Brazilian real (BRL) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay by card when it's convenient, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't possible.
