Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best deals on a Rio De Janeiro Budget car rental?

CarRentals.com strives to get you the lowest rates, whether you reserve your car. But booking your car ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to check the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What do I need have with me when I get my car rental in Rio De Janeiro?

Be sure to bring credit card, as well as your driver's license.

How old do I have to be to rent a car in Rio De Janeiro?

Most suppliers in Rio De Janeiro set the minimum age to rent a car at 21. Make sure to review Budget's policy, as there could be limitations if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals in particular.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Rio De Janeiro?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Rio De Janeiro. Compact or economy vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size car or SUV will have more room for everyone's suitcases and be a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their trip can choose a higher-end car model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Brazil?

In Brazil you do need to have insurance before you rent. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card company's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Budget require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Budget requires a deposit when you reserve your rental car. Budget will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the car.

What is the fuel policy on my Budget car rental?

At CarRentals.com, we advise a full tank policy. You receive the vehicle with a full tank. If you return the rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Budget. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Rio De Janeiro certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Rio De Janeiro.

Does Rio De Janeiro Budget offer one-way car rentals?

Budget offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to drop off your vehicle at a different Budget. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.
