  • Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get a feel for its handling before you set off. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in Brazil.

  • Keep within local speed limits of about 45kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
