Sure, you can do Redencao without a rental car. But with so much to check out here, having one would definitely make your stay more enjoyable. If you plan to head out of town and into the countryside, pick a car rental with some power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will take you to the surrounding sandy shores in roomy style. Going to spend a lot of your time near the bright lights of the city? A small, economical car is a wise choice. Driving through narrow streets and squeezing into tiny parking spots will be easy in one of these.
