Good to know
Age requirements for rentals often vary by supplier (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Brazil may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age bracket, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
If you're going away with the kids, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Pelotas car rental booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for little ones to ride.
Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll generally need your physical driver's license (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.
Take your time getting acquainted with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get comfortable with its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Brazil.
Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
Avoid getting behind the wheel if your plans involve alcohol. Brazil has a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving, and penalties may apply.
Around 6pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The Brazilian real (BRL) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with a credit or debit card when it's possible, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't available.
