Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in São Francisco. Affordable and with superb mileage, they're a good fit for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a huge amount of space. They're particularly suited to exploring cities. Getting into cramped parking spots will be a piece of cake!
Where can I go on a road trip from São Francisco?
São Francisco has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to see what's in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Campos do Jordão is roughly 129 kilometres from São Francisco. Top-rated sights like Amantikir Park deserve to be high on your list here.
  • Approximately 193 kilometres away, Angra dos Reis is also a favourite with travellers. Make sure you take in Lopes Mendes Beach while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Christ the Redeemer is 274 kilometres from São Francisco and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in São Francisco with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Francisco?
In São Francisco, the rule is 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. Don't forget to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in São Francisco?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check 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 São Francisco?
In São Francisco and around Brazil, people drive on the right side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, you'll need to be mindful of any different driving rules.

Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many categories of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of São Francisco — or far beyond!
Where can I find a São Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking for a rental in São Francisco, you'll need to check the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
