KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Fortaleza
- Cheap rental cars in Fortaleza give visitors more flexibility when it comes to moving around the different parts of the city. You must be 21 years of age or older to rent a car in Fortaleza. For several types of vehicles, the majority of Fortaleza car rentals have a higher age restriction. For instance, several rental car companies restrict the rental of expensive vehicles to persons who are at least 25 years old. One of the fundamental documents you need to have when choosing any of the cheap rental cars in Fortaleza is a valid driver's license.
- You should be mindful of the difficult and unpredictable terrain that dominates most of Fortaleza while hiring a car. Because of this, most of the roads of Fortalez other than the few major highways are narrow. It is best to keep your speed down. In Fortaleza's major business sector, there are more pedestrians, many of whom cross roads without looking both ways for approaching cars. To avoid knocking any of these passengers, it is important to remain alert while driving on any of the roads in the CBD.
- When driving a rental car in Fortaleza with your children, be careful to adhere to the strict child seat regulations. These laws require that any child under the age of eight or under the height of 4'9" always travel in a suitable restraint system. This restraint system may be an infant-only seat, a booster seat, or a child car seat depending on the child's age. You may easily get the child safety restraint system you need with any of the affordable rental automobiles in Fortaleza. However, using each of these devices will need you to pay an extra daily cost.
- Renting a vehicle is highly recommended to tourists visiting Fortaleza because there really is no better way to get around. Bus service is available in the city, but at night the service is quite limited with potentially long wait times in between buses. For families and groups, this can make coordinating travel plans a hassle, so stick to the easier option: a rental car.
- If you are like many travelers, the first part of any journey starts with picking up your rental car. For travelers with flights to Pinto Martins – Fortaleza International Airport, the rental car counters are located in the airport’s Arrivals Hall. There are also a number of rental car businesses across the street from the airport and adjacent to it.
- Drivers should take note that right turns on red are prohibited in Fortaleza unless the intersection has a sign stating otherwise. At night it is not uncommon for this law to not be followed, however, especially by locals -- so keep your eyes open and adapt accordingly.
- Fortaleza, though not the largest of cities, can occasionally have its fair share of traffic woes. Luckily for drivers, these traffic problems are largely confined to two primary rush hours in the morning and afternoon. Specifically, they run from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. During peak traffic hours the main street to avoid is Avenida Quarto Anel Viário, as it experiences the bulk of the city’s congestion.
