How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Mateus?

Any rental company you choose will need these two things --- your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a São Mateus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some São Mateus providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
