What types of cars can I rent in Petrópolis?
Busy city streets and tight parking spots are no problem for an economy car — the most popular type of rental in Petrópolis. Grab the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic easily.

Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Petrópolis?
Petrópolis has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to one place. Organise a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider area. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Head off to Bento Goncalves for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 64 kilometres from Petrópolis, it has loads of cool sights like Casa Valduga Winery.
  • Situated 56 kilometres away, Farroupilha is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to take in Santuario N S do Caravaggio while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
  • Head to Lagoinha do Leste Beach to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Petrópolis, it's 338 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Petrópolis?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements you should keep in mind before reserving your wheels in Petrópolis. If you're a young driver, most rental companies will charge an additional fee and limit the sorts of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between companies. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Petrópolis?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Petrópolis?
Like the States, stick to the right in Brazil. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Get familiar with the local traffic regulations before you get behind the wheel in Petrópolis.

Yes. Expedia partners with trusted providers that offer long-term rentals for all categories of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Petrópolis — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Petrópolis car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Petrópolis. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
