How old do you have to be to rent a car in Petrópolis?
You'll need to be at least 21 to grab the keys to a rental car in Petrópolis. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Look up the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Petrópolis?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Whether you're spending time in Petrópolis or road-tripping around Brazil, you'll be driving on the right side. While this is obviously the same as the States, you will notice differences in traffic rules.

Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a ride that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Petrópolis car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Petrópolis, we suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
