  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Palmas car hire policy, whether you go with Localiza or any other supplier. Some companies offer it as a paid extra instead of including it.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a cheaper rate on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be relocated. Simply select 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Palmas.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Palmas car hire gives you peace of mind. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of an accident or theft. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so compare before you book.

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car hire in Brazil. Rules can vary, and extra charges or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, just uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • If you're going away with the kids, check if you need to add a car seat to your Palmas car hire reservation. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no screenshots) and a second photo ID. Have a credit card ready for the deposit too. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • Get familiar with your rental. Adjust your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And remember to stay on the right side of the road in Brazil.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Check the road signs, as limits may vary.

  • The Brazilian real (BRL) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.
