Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Rio de Janeiro?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for an affordable rental car in Rio de Janeiro was £17.
Can I hire a car from Santos Dumont Airport (SDU)?
With Movida and Sixt within a short drive of Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), getting off the plane and out onto the road is a piece of cake.
What happens if I need to cancel my Rio de Janeiro car reservation?
We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most prepaid reservations give a total refund if you notify us at least six hours before the collection time. It's still good to read over the rental policy though as there are some exemptions. If the info isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Rio de Janeiro?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no hassle for an economy car — the most popular rental type in Rio de Janeiro. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Rio de Janeiro can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Rio de Janeiro?
With your own wheels, cruising around the surrounding regions is a cinch. Rio de Janeiro is a great place to start, but there's so much more to keep you busy in the region. Grab the keys to a hire car, fling your bags in the trunk and check out these other inspiring locations:

  • Home to sights and experiences galore, Angra dos Reis is around 75 miles from Rio de Janeiro. First stop of the day? Make your way to Praia Grande, one of this city's highlights.
  • Cabo Frio, around 75 miles away, will also show you a memorable time. Wondering what there is to see? Foguete Beach is our first pick.
  • No visit is complete without dropping by Amantikir Park. This much-loved nature spot is roughly 160 miles from Rio de Janeiro. Get out into the fresh air and relax!

How do I find the best car hire deals in Rio de Janeiro with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Combine your Rio de Janeiro car hire with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Rio de Janeiro?
If you're aged 18 and over, you can hire a vehicle in Rio de Janeiro. Bear in mind that rental providers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are often restricted from hiring luxury cars or larger vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking so there are no hassles when it's time to collect the keys.
What do you need to hire a car in Rio de Janeiro?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Rio de Janeiro, generally the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What is the cheapest car rental in Rio de Janeiro?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've taken the wheel of your own hire car for just £17 a day. The second lowest daily rate in Rio de Janeiro was £18. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Rio de Janeiro?
Click on our long-term car hire deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in your ideal ride. Whether you're staying put in Rio de Janeiro or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term hire at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Rio de Janeiro hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Rio de Janeiro, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any nasty surprises at the hire counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
