Busy days on the roads in Brazil
The busiest periods on Brazil's roads are usually during national holidays, such as Carnival in February and Easter. Brazil's summer holidays, which run from December to March, can also lead to crowded roads. Especially in popular tourist destinations.
Paying tolls in Brazil
There are toll roads in Brazil, known locally as "pedágios", most of which are located on highways and sometimes at bridges and tunnels. Payment can be made either in cash or electronically, depending on the toll station. Sunny Cars offers comprehensive information to ensure you can pay tolls without any problems during your trip.
Fuelling in Brazil
Petrol stations are known as "postos de gasolina". Fuels are usually referred to as "gasolina" for petrol and "diesel" for diesel. It is useful to carry cash or a credit card, as not all filling stations accept payment with all cards. Most petrol stations offer self-service and have 24-hour service. Make sure you choose the right type of fuel for your rental car.
Road signs in Brazil
In Brazil, signposts are usually in Portuguese, the country's official language.
Destinations in Brazil
Most of our local partners in Brazil offer the option of reserving a car seat. These are available in various sizes and for different age groups. Please note that there is an additional cost involved, which you pay locally to the local partner. Prices for car seats are clearly indicated during the booking process, where you can make your selection under the 'accessories for your rental car in Brazil' section. If reserving a child or baby car seat online is not possible, our customer service team is ready to assist you and work with you to see what the options are.
The fuel policy when renting a car can be an important factor in how much you end up paying. We think the fairest way to do this is the full-full fuel policy. You return the car with the same fuel level you picked it up with. This way, you don't pay for petrol you haven't used. Read more about our fuel policy here.
It is possible to book a rental car locally upon arrival in Brazil. But bear in mind that this often comes at the expense of your precious holiday time. You will have to spend time looking for a suitable and inexpensive rental car. That is why we always recommend booking your rental car in advance, from the comfort of your own home. This way, you have time to calmly compare the different suppliers and can start a relaxing holiday as soon as you arrive.
When you go on holiday, you naturally want to minimise stress and be able to drive straight to your destination at ease. It is therefore advisable to book a rental car with a navigation system for Brazil. In the booking process, in the second step called the 'Travel Details', you can find and add a GPS system as an accessory. Please note that the cost of this navigation system is charged separately and has to be paid locally to the fleet provider.
The cost of car rental in Brazil can vary and depends on many factors. For instance, the period you are going on holiday, the type of car you have in mind, where you want to pick up the car and the length of the rental period all play a role. If you are interested in the exact cost of a rental car in Brazil, it is wise to look not only at the rental price itself, but also at what is included in the price. This includes insurance, fuel policy and any cost per kilometre driven. This will give you a complete picture of the total cost and help you make the right choice for your holiday and budget.
Brazil is a country full of diversity and vibrancy, known for its rich culture, beautiful natural landscapes and vibrant cities. The largest country in South America, it offers a wealth of experiences for travellers. Whether you want to explore the breathtaking Amazon rainforest, or dance to the rhythms of samba in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil has something for everyone. And with a rental car, you can experience this country's versatility to the fullest.
The road network in Brazil ranges from modern and well-maintained to some older and less well-maintained roads. Especially in remote areas. Highways are usually wide and in good condition, but in rural areas some roads can be narrow and winding.
An SUV is recommended in Brazil, especially if you plan to travel through mountainous areas. The larger engine of an SUV provides extra power and stability for mountain roads. If you are heading to sunny coastal destinations, consider a convertible to make the most of the sun. Sunny Cars has several categories available to suit your needs.
The best time to visit Brazil is usually during the Brazilian winter months from May to September. The weather is pleasant then and there is less precipitation. This is an excellent period for both urban exploration and nature adventures. Keep in mind that the busiest times coincide with Carnival in February and Easter.
Brazil is known for its delicious cuisine. Taste the famous Brazilian barbecue, known as "churrasco," with tender grilled meat and local side dishes. Enjoy "feijoada," a traditional stew with black beans and pork. If you like sweet, try "brigadeiro," a popular chocolate treat. And don't forget the national cocktail, the "caipirinha," but put the car in its free if you have consumed alcohol.
24/7 emergency number
Everything arranged and paid for in advance. You can therefore rent a car carefree! If something still goes wrong or you have an urgent question, please contact our Dutch emergency number so that we can quickly help you on your way again.
Additional third-party liability
It goes without saying that liability insurance is included when you rent a car. However, we go the extra mile with our standard (extra) liability cover of at least €10 million. We like to play it safe so that you can enjoy a carefree holiday!
Fair fuel policy
You always rent a car with us under the fuel policy full-full. This means you return the rental car with the same level of petrol it had at the handover. You therefore do not pay an expensive fuel surcharge and know exactly where you stand.
Refund of excess
If you rent a car from Sunny Cars, you do not have to pay the excess. In the case of damage to the rental car, you pay the excess up front and on site, for us to then return the sum into your bank account soonest.
