How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rio?
Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the highway in Rio in a home vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Rio?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rio?
Yes, which means you won’t need to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and secure a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Rio car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Rio, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various holiday home 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 surprise fees and charges at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Rio with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
