The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Porto Alegre are: Hyundai Santa Fe, Daihatsu Terios, Jeep Cherokee, Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Toyota Landcruiser, Hyundai Tuscon and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Brazil ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Brazil are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
A trip to the Amazon will be an unforgettable adventure for thrill-seekers. In addition to the mud flow, drivers will surely have to face many interesting and unexpected obstacles and surprises. For example, along some trails you will see huge crocodiles and some other representatives of the local fauna that usually watch amusingly how cars try to get out of the mud.
Slippery dirt roads are often interrupted by deep ditches. Local motorists have found the best way to overcome such obstacles - they put a couple of rather narrow planks across the ditch and then easily drive on them without any shade of doubts or worries. Foreign drivers can only envy skilled local drivers - one awkward move can cost them their lives.
The drivers, who are not ready for such adventures, are recommended to travel in the territory of major cities. Roads in them are rather comfortable, and the traffic regulations that are accepted in Brazil are close to the EU regulations, so you should experience no difficulties there.
