Cheap car rentals in Florianopolis
KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Florianopolis
- You must be 21 or older before sitting behind the wheels of cheap car rentals in Florianopolis. Still, various car rental agencies have different minimum age requirements and usually charge extra fees for renters aged between 21 and 24. Also, most companies restrict luxury cars and SUVs to drivers above 25. You must present a valid driver’s license, which you must have had for at least two years. Those from foreign countries whose licenses are not in English should endeavor to get an International Drivers License. A passport is recommended but mandatory in case they ask for secondary identification. Most importantly, you must have a credit card in your name to complete the transactions.
- Before hitting the road in Florianopolis car rentals, it might be best to take time and learn the region’s unique driving laws. Motorists in Florianopolis drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left. Using an electric device like a mobile phone is illegal when driving in Florianopolis unless you are on a hands-free system. It is an offense to drive while wearing flip-flops or in postures such as an elbow resting on the window sill or hanging from the car window. In addition, turning right at red lights is prohibited unless indicated by the “Livre a Direita” sign.
- Suppose your visit to Santa Catarina coincides with celebrations of a significant event or festival; you will likely experience challenges navigating the streets in cheap car rentals in Florianopolis. For instance, the city marks its Rock Weekend in the first week of June at the Costão do Santinho Resort. Meanwhile, if you arrive in late January, you will likely find the locals and other guests in an electric mood for the Floripa Eco Summer Festival along various spots in the city. The major roads leading to the venue are closed or diverted during such events. This builds up congestion on the streets, extending to the car rental facilities, hence slow service.
- A rental car is by far the best way to explore Florianópolis, as all the main attractions are spread out throughout the whole island. Many of the main beaches are reachable with a car, meaning you can just hop into a rental car and tour the coastline, stopping at as many paradisiac destinations as you please – including the popular Canasvieiras, Ingleses, and Barra da Lagoa.
- On-site rental car companies at Florianópolis-Hercílio Luz International Airpor (FLN), which is just over 9 miles from the city center, include Unidas, Inovas, and Avis. Rental car desks at FLN can be found on the left side of the Arrivals Hall, which is on the ground floor. You will need an International Driving Permit to rent a car in Brazil.
- Driving in Floripa (the city’s nickname) can be really hectic in the summer, when Brazilians take to the island to enjoy their vacations, so watch out for reckless drivers and always drive defensively. If you don’t know the area at all, make sure your rental car has a GPS device that is set to English. There will also be lots of tourists driving buggies and carrying surf boards on their vehicles, so stay alert.
- Traffic in Florianópolis is pretty busy at any time of the year, but particularly in the summer, between January and February. The Beira Mar Norte Avenue is one of the most crowded, as is the area surrounding the Mercado Público. If you’re planning on driving to the beach, make sure you hit the road as early as possible because you’ll encounter traffic jams from 9 a.m. all the way until 7 p.m.

- Book your rental car in Florianopolis at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Florianopolis
What type of car is recommended for driving in Florianopolis?
If you’re not comfortable driving a manual transmission car, make sure to book your automatic vehicle in advance as automatics are much more expensive. A small, compact car is your best bet when navigating Florianópolis, as it’s easier to both drive and park in the small beach spots. Try renting a jeep to drive to the more secluded beaches.
