Mar 2017
Pros:
NothingCons:
Nothing, i lost the reservation because i was a few hours late because of connection issues, and either way the insurance that KAYAK sold me was not from alamo and i would have paid a HUGE amount of money as a guarantee when i would have need less 7 times less if the insurance was bought with them(the difference was 20$ kayak did not gave me options). So i don't know if i should blame Alamo or kayak.com but i'm never renting anything with you guys again.Hertz

When to book a car hire in Rio de Janeiro
Top tips for hiring a car in Rio de Janeiro
- You can take public transportation or catch a taxi to destinations around the city of Rio De Janeiro. However, if you want to get away from the city, you’ll need a rental car. Drive to one of the nearby beaches for some water fun like scuba diving or snorkeling. Just a few hours away is also the Imperial Museum of Brazil and the tropical jungle of Visconde de Maua.
- Tourists visiting Rio De Janeiro often fly into Santos Dumont Airport because it is so close to the heart of the city. A very large airport, it offers many services including on-site car rental. Once you’re off the plane and have your bags, simply take the shuttle to the airport’s rental car center. Some of the agencies located here include Avis, Alamo, and Hertz.
- Make sure you secure an International Driver’s Permit before leaving home if you plan to rent a car. As with many busy cities, some drivers in Rio are somewhat careless and seem to be in a hurry. Therefore, you’ll have to drive defensively. Watch out for lane jumping and keep your cars locked at all times for added safety.
- Driving in the city of Rio can be a challenge on weekdays. This is especially true when commuters are coming to or leaving work. Consequently, you’ll want to avoid driving around downtown from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Instead, this is a good time to visit other communities such as Ipanema or Botafogo.
- Book your rental car in Rio de Janeiro at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Off-airport rental car locations in Rio de Janeiro are around 65% more expensive than airport locations on average
- Economy rental cars in Rio de Janeiro are around 65% cheaper than other car types, on average
