Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best prices on a Sao Paulo National rental car?

We try to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your car. But booking well ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to go over the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my car rental in Sao Paulo?

Make sure to bring your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's Sao Paulo's minimum age to rent a car?

National's minimum age to rent a car in Sao Paulo is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Take time to review National's policy to find out if there is an additional cost for you.

What kind of National rental car should I get for my trip to Sao Paulo?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Sao Paulo. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle will have more room for luggage and provide a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little luxury on their vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Does Brazil require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent from National in Brazil. Although many of the major card issuers, like MasterCard or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

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

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

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to National?

We encourage a full to full policy. You should receive your car with full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to National. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Sao Paulo definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from National?

National usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your vehicle at a different location. However, there may be an additional charge when you pick one-way.
