Porto Seguro car rentals

Top tips for renting a car in Porto Seguro

• It is highly advantageous to rent a car in Porto Seguro, as public transportation in the city is somewhat limited. The main form available is the public bus, and for families or even individuals visiting Porto Seguro, likely the bus won’t be nearly as efficient or as comfortable as a hire car. Particularly at night and on the weekend, this service really slows you down. Say, for example, you want to get to Mundai Beach; it is just a 10 minute drive, but it can take up to 30 minutes on public transport.
• If you are planning to rent a vehicle during your time in Porto Seguro and you are arriving at Porto Seguro International Airport, you will find hire car counters located both in the airport’s Arrivals area and outside the airport in the adjacent parking lot.
• It is very common to see pedestrians jaywalking in the coastal sections and residential areas of Porto Seguro. It is important for drivers to be aware of this and to keep their eyes open for any potential illicit street crossers, just for safety’s sake.
• Porto Seguro, though not the largest of Brazilian cities, certainly has its share of rush hour traffic. Luckily for drivers, the city’s traffic woes are largely confined to two primary rush hours in the morning and afternoon. More specifically, they take place from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the work week. The coastal road of Av. do Descobrimento is one of more congested roads during rush hour and is certainly worth avoiding during peak driving hours.
• Book your rental car in Porto Seguro at least 1 week before your trip in order to get a below-average price
