What types of cars can I rent in Rio?
Premium, full-size, intermediate ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Rio. If you're after something affordable and small, but not too small, this rental vehicle category is a great choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy models and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Rio?
Rio has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Rent some wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some great options:

  • Joliet is around 193 kilometres from Rio. Notable tourist attractions like Rialto Square Theatre should be high on your list here.
  • Situated 161 kilometres away, Springfield is also popular with wanderers. Make time to check out Illinois State Fairgrounds while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this thriving city.
  • Venture into nature and take in the serenity at John Hancock Centre. It's approximately 241 kilometres from Rio.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Rio with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Rio car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rio?
Rio requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Rio?
The main requirements are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rio?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Rio — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Rio car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies located in Rio. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
