Curitiba car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Curitiba

• Excited for your trip to Curitiba? If you are like many travelers, you are probably looking forward to enjoying beautiful landscapes and charming towns. Fortunately for visitors renting a car, this couldn’t be simpler. Curitiba is a one hour’s drive from numerous sights that are well worth visiting. Some of the stops near Curitiba include the colonial city of Paranagua (58 miles away), the state park Parque Estadual de Vila Velha (58 miles away), and the mountain town of Morretes (48 miles away).
• Planning on picking up your rental car after landing in Curitiba? Travelers with flights landing at Afonso Pena International Airport will find the rental car counters located in the airport’s Arrivals Hall.
• Curitiba is one of the most populous cities in Brazil and it has a proportionately high number of pedestrians. Jaywalking is very common in Curitiba, so drivers should make sure to keep their eyes open for any unexpected street crossings, particularly on smaller streets and roads.
• Luckily for drivers, Curitiba has only a minor amount of rush hour congestion. However, if you want to avoid even that small bit, avoid the rush hours: morning rush hour goes from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and then picks up back again in the afternoon around 4:00 p.m. and goes until 6:00 p.m. Worried about getting stuck in traffic? If you are, just avoid Rodovia Régis Bittencourt and Anel Rodoviário Contorno Leste, as they are where the vast majority of congestion builds up.
• Book your rental car in Curitiba at least 5 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
