KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in São Luiz
- If you choose car hire in São Luiz, you will generally find getting around the city by car easier than navigating public transport. São Luiz is primarily served by local buses, but the services can be quite erratic and may include multiple changes on certain routes. It is also difficult to travel outside the city to nearby tourist attractions, like the Praia do Parnauacu Nature Reserve or Trajano Beach, without hiring a car in São Luíz.
- São Luiz is served by Mal. Cunha Machado International Airport (SLZ), meaning you can hire a car at the terminals to get your São Luiz trip started. Passengers landing at SLZ will find car hire desks located inside the main Arrivals Terminal. Once you have picked up your vehicle, you can drive to Central São Luiz in around 25 minutes, depending on traffic.
- When you choose car hire in São Luiz, you should familiarise yourself with some common driving conventions and customs in Brazil. One thing to remember when driving in traffic in Brazil is that motorcycles are allowed to drive between cars, meaning you should stay vigilant and watch your mirrors. You should also be prepared to move at stops and roundabouts because local drivers can be quite aggressive, and will expect other drivers to keep up with traffic. You must also watch out for people changing lanes without signalling on multi-lane roads. If you’re driving outside the city and into the countryside around São Luiz, be aware that some roads are not well-maintained. Don’t take unnecessary risks by continuing along roads that are clearly heavily potholed or damaged.
- You will generally experience some traffic when driving in São Luiz city centre, and on the roads that lead out to popular beaches, like the MA-203 or the Avenue dos Portugueses. This traffic usually intensifies during the weekday rush hour, which takes place between 07:00-10:00 and 17:00-20:00. The rural roads and roads around São Luiz are usually quieter, but the 135 and MA-201 that pass Mal. Cunha Airport often gets busy during rush hour and during the tourist season (December-February).
