Brazil

Car rental Brazil

Being the fifth largest country in the world, Brazil boasts a fine mix of jungle rainforests, bustling city centers and stunning beaches. The people are friendly, beautiful and go beyond their remit in providing you with the best services and ensure you have a smile on your face. Renting a car in Brazil is a great way to beat the stuffiness of buses and the wild rides expected in taxis. Car hire in Brazil gives the option of exploring the cities and venturing off into the wild to see some unique attractions.

It’s a good idea for American tourists to compare car hire before they fly to Brazil to ensure they get the best prices on car rental. During the high season, prices for car hire increase so it’s a good idea to book online.

Hotspots for tourists

For the brave, venturing into the Amazon rainforest is one of the most unreal and memorable things to do in Brazil, though many instead head to the eastern coastal cities of Alaggas, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, where one can expect high-rise buildings, noisy centers and many shopping districts.

The spectacular Iguacu Falls, Pantanal and Carnival in Rio are some of the best attractions in the country. There is also Oktoberfest, similar to the German one, which celebrates with beer, dancing and partying. The beaches of Rio and the religious statues are some of the most visited in Brazil.

Best time to go

If you’re in the north then expect a more tropical climate, with heavy rain, red-hot sunshine and a high humidity factor. The further south has a more sedate climate, with bearable temperatures and fewer extremes. For American tourists, a visa entry fee of $120 is applied. Many other citizens from different countries are exempt from this tax.
