Top tips for renting a car at Sao Paulo Congonhas airport
- Are you traveling to Sao Paulo by air? Unless you have someone to pick you up and take you around, your best bet is to book a car rental at Sao Paulo Congonhas Airport or CGH. Avoid the headache of carrying around your luggage while waiting for a taxi, bus, or metro train. Buses serving Sao Paulo International Airport can be unreliable as they are prone to breakdowns, unless you find one that offers quick replacement. On the other hand, the metro and subway require you to buy tickets on-site, and the lines are usually long and inconvenient. Renting a car gives you more flexibility since you can choose what landmarks to stop by, and your belongings remain safe at all times. Beware that public transportation is not available at night and in the morning hours on weekends. Thus, a car rental is the most reliable means of transfer from CGH Airport.
- The infamous traffic around Sao Paulo International Airport gets worse every weekday from 6.30 am â 9.30 am and later around 4.30 pm â 7.30 pm. Bad weather, holidays, and major events create more congestion along the highways, making the evening rush hour last until 10.00 pm. Pick up and return your rented car before or after these busy times to make your travel plans less frustrating.
- Be aware of drop-off times and locations. Some rental companies will charge you for an extra day if you use the vehicle for more than 24h. So, if you take the car at noon, make sure youâve returned it before noon the following day to save on rental costs. Most of the return areas are within walking distance of the GCH terminal on Avenida Washington Luiz. Unless youâve booked a one-way trip with Sao Paulo Congonhas Airport car rental, taking back the vehicle to its original pick-up point keeps you from paying a drop-off fee.
- When driving in Sao Paulo, make sure you are on the correct side of traffic. Since you are most likely to rent a left-hand drive car, always stay on the right-hand side of the road. Move to the left only if you need to overtake. It is recommended to have insurance to cover potential damages during the rental period. Scrutinize the policy to know if you might be liable for any damage, including theft.
