How to find Alamo at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport
Picking up your Alamo car rental at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport can happen in several ways. Collection may be on-site at the airport, through a meet-and-greet with staff on arrival, or by bus to the rental location. Make use of the 'Pickup' filter while searching to find out the available options at the airport.
Airport terminal: Counters sit next to or inside arrivals, so you can skip an extra transfer. Land, grab your bags and get going.
Free shuttle bus: The rental site is based near the airport instead of at the terminal. A free shuttle takes you to where your car is waiting.
Meet and greet: A representative will meet you in arrivals with the keys and rental paperwork. They'll then guide you to your car.
Want to avoid waiting in line at the rental counter? Some providers offer self-service pickup, where you collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox instead of a desk. No queuing for keys, no paperwork in person, just more time for your trip.
Alamo car rental at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Use the 'Transmission' filter to make your search more relevant. Pick 'Automatic' if you don't want to deal with gear changes or 'Manual' for traditional stick shift. Both are widely available across rental companies.
Fuel policy: Skip the extra costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and bring it back full, paying only for what you use.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' let you cover more ground without added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Side of the road: Remember to stick to the right side of the road in Brazil.
Speed limits: Follow the local speed limits. Usually that's 45kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
Required documents: As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence and additional photo ID when collecting your Alamo car rental. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.
Deposits and credit card: A security deposit is usually handled as a pre-authorised hold on your credit card. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so keep a credit card handy to avoid any issues.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't mandatory, but it's worth considering for extra protection. Insurance policies vary between providers, so check before you book.
Add ons: GPS units, child seats and additional drivers can all be added while booking your Alamo car rental. Sort these in advance to speed up collection.
