Florianopolis car rentals

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.

The speed limit in urban areas across Brazil is usually 60 km/h (37 mph), but it may be as low as 30 km/h (19 mph) in certain residential areas.

Highways in rural areas allow drivers to go at a maximum speed of 110 km/h (68 mph).

While on-street parking spaces are available in the city, it’s best to leave your car at one of the many parking lots, especially during the summer months – but only if your hotel doesn’t offer parking. Parking lots charge anywhere between $0.60 and $1.30 per hour. It gets increasingly difficult to find spots at popular beaches such as Barra da Lagoa from 10 a.m. onwards.
