Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my São Francisco car reservation?
Scan over your rental agreement to be sure, but nearly all prepaid bookings will receive a full refund if you let us know more than six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. There are some exceptions though. Your booking will have more info, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in São Francisco?
The majority of visitors choose economy cars in São Francisco. Drivers love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their small size makes them perfect for exploring cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be challenging. But your options don't stop there. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs are also among our rental range. Whether you're hanging around São Francisco or journeying beyond, we'll have a ride that suits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from São Francisco?
São Francisco has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the wider area. These are some great options:

  • Head off to Curitiba for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Approximately 105 kilometres from São Francisco, it's home to many amazing attractions such as Barigui Park.
  • Next stop? It has to be Florianópolis, which is around 153 kilometres away. Mole Beach is one local hot spot you shouldn't miss.
  • Pitangueiras Beach is around 354 kilometres from São Francisco and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in São Francisco with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your car class and compare offers from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your São Francisco car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Francisco?
In São Francisco, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in São Francisco?
The essentials 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 other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in São Francisco?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Brazil — the same as in the States. Motoring around São Francisco won't be exactly the same as home, though. You'll want to brush up on the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in São Francisco?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll show you amazing options from a range of trusted suppliers.
Where can I find a São Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in São Francisco. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
