As the roads can be bumpy and in rather poor condition, it is advised to opt for an average-priced car instead of a sports car. A common car will also fit in with the other vehicles better, making you less conspicuous as a tourist. Remember that stick shifts are still commonly used in Brazil and an automatic car will most likely cost more.

Pros:
Very helpful, very friendly.5.6 Fair
Aug. 2017
Pros:
The car was available when needed, had a/c and power front windows. Returning the car was (luckily) uneventful.Cons:
1) Lengthy paperwork and bureaucracy to get the car: after a long flight and the car reservation done two months in advance, it took approx. 35 min for the paperwork alone to get done by the front desk. Have to say though this was somewhat expected since in Brazil companies try always to overwhelm customers in a miríade of bureaucratic maneuvers. 2) Pre-authorizing my credit card in R$9,000 (+- U$ 3,000): I always get insurance on car rentals, primarily with the rental company however AVIS was charging an absurd amount for the term, which forced me to look for alternatives which brought me to Allianz for a fraction of what Avis quoted and better terms. Here are the numbers: Car Rental: R$ 497; Avis Insurance: R$ 514; Allianz Insurance: R$ 210. To help even more, I rented the car with my Visa Infinity, which also included insurance at no extra charge - so that I had double protection. 3) Taking Possession of the Car: the car was very small, had a number of dents and scratches and the explicit threat of R$250 of extra charges if the interior of the car had signs of excessive dirt, however there was no clear definition of "excessive dirt" in any of the paperwork signed In summary, the car was rented as part of purchasing air tickets at Kayak website, in which I thought would have helped with all the bureaucratic process Brazilian companies live by, to my surprise it did not help. I may decide for another company next time as I got quite used with the easy of renting and returning cars in Canada, US and Europe.2.0 Poor
Jun. 2017
Cons:
I asked if i could use my insurance policy and they said if i did i would have to put a $4000 deposit down for the car, then when i did get insurance, they still had me do a $3000 block on my card. Absolutely absurd that this was not mentioned at the time of booking.8.8 Very good

it's the AVIS garage right outside the airport, but what a bear finding the right road to get there. despite that, the crew receiving the car were very understanding and helpful. they were happy to look out for my best interests.Cons:
signage/dierctions to this place are abysmal. they wouldn't accept the insurance i bought through kayak online. made me buy theirs too. what a scam. shame on you kayak2 locations in Brasilia
