Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Catarina car reservation?
We all have times when plans change. That's why we give your money back on most bookings if you let us know at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Be sure to double-check the policy — sometimes it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Catarina?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular rental in Santa Catarina. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a whole lot of room. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Getting into tight parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Catarina?
Santa Catarina is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are a few ideas:

  • Head to Rio de Janeiro for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Approximately 129 kilometres from Santa Catarina, it's home to many cool sights like Christ the Redeemer.
  • Next stop? Make it Cabo Frio, which is around 193 kilometres away. Japanese Island is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
  • Visit Itamambuca Beach to rediscover nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Santa Catarina, it's roughly 241 kilometres away.

Most of the time, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your vehicle.
