Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my São Tomé car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the info about this. In the majority of situations, total refunds are provided if a reservation is cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. Be sure to scan your policy to see if there are any exceptions.
What types of cars can I rent in São Tomé?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in São Tomé. Affordable and with superb mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Squeezing into narrow parking spots will be a cinch!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Tomé?
In São Tomé, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Don't forget to read the fine print carefully before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in São Tomé?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also 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 Tomé?
Like the U.S, stick to the right in Brazil. However, that doesn't mean the road rules are the same as at home. Get familiar with the traffic laws before arriving in São Tomé.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in São Tomé?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a São Tomé car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the São Tomé rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's best to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
