How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Salvador?
Rental vehicle rules in São Salvador require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in São Salvador?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in São Salvador?
Just like the U.S, you'll need to drive on the right in Brazil. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Read up on the local traffic regulations before you get behind the wheel in São Salvador.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in São Salvador?
Yes, and the great news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in São Salvador and cruise off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a São Salvador car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in São Salvador, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
