How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ipanema?
The minimum age is 21. But there are several age-related restrictions to bear in mind before you book your Ipanema wheels.

What do you need to rent a car in Ipanema?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ipanema?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the States. Cruising around Ipanema won't be exactly like home, though. You'll want to brush up on the local traffic rules.

Where can I find an Ipanema car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Ipanema outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
