Full-size, mid-size or compact ... Get behind the wheel of almost any kind of vehicle you like! Economy is the most sought-after rental vehicle category in Santa Maria. Small, with great mileage and a cinch to park, these wheels make exploring bustling city streets a pleasure. The best thing? They're easy on the wallet. That means you'll have more money to spend on other things, like discovering as much of this destination as you can.

  • Head off to João Pessoa for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 177 kilometres from Santa Maria, it's home to loads of amazing sights like Jacare Beach.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
You need to be 21 and over to take the wheel of a rental vehicle in Santa Maria. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Like the States, you'll need to drive on the right in Brazil. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Research the traffic laws before you get to Santa Maria.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Yes, and you can find your perfect ride among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we'll list excellent offers from a range of reliable companies.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Santa Maria. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
