Detailed FAQ on the rental process
In order to prevent traffic jams in “rush hours”, a very interesting system of control is used in Brazil. From 7:00 to 10:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, only cars the number of which ends with the permitted number are allowed to use the local roads.
For example, on Mondays the cars, the number of which ends with numbers 1 and 2, are not allowed to use some roads. On Tuesday, the same restriction applies to cars the last figure in the number of which is 3 and 4, and so on until Friday. On Saturday and Sunday there are no restrictions.
The roads with the abovementioned entry system always have special signs installed nearby. Do not even hope that you can enter such a road on a forbidden day. This will be certainly noticed and you will receive a fine, the amount of which will be approximately 50 USD.
