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
You will see many motorcyclists on the roads of Brazil. They can safely be classified as the worst traffic violators. An interesting fact – the majority of motorcycles and mopeds are ridden by females, while men prefer cars.
Traffic police is quite rare in Brazil. The control over the implementation of the traffic regulations is mostly carried out by radars and cameras. By the way, cameras are installed literally everywhere, so do not expect that your traffic violations will be left unnoticed.
In addition to the traffic police, it is possible to meet the federal police on the roads of Brazil. If the traffic police checks cars and issues fines, the federal police has the right to check and verify documents. No matter what kind of patrol has stopped you, you must always be patient and treat police and their orders with respect.
