Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Where can I find a São Mateus car rental if I am younger than 25?
