FAQ
How can I pay for my rental car?
Payment for a rental car should preferably be made by credit card. It is possible to pay by debit card, however at the rental counter you will need a credit card issued to the main driver in order to secure the deposit for your rental car.
Who is allowed to drive the rental car and what are the conditions?
A rental car can be driven by a main driver, that is the person registered in the booking. Additional drivers may be added to the reservation at extra fee. The main and additional drivers are to present a valid driving license, which they have been in possession of for at least one year (please refer to the rental conditions), and a valid identity card/passport. Additionally, the main driver is to present a valid credit card issued in their name.
Do I have to pick up and return the car at any time? What happens if I am late for pick-up?
We recommend that you pick up the car at the agreed time as the availability of the car cannot be guaranteed in case of a delay. As a rule, local suppliers keep vehicles available up to 30 or 60 minutes after the agreed time. If a delay is inevitable, please contact the rental agency (you will find their contact details on the voucher).
What documents are required to pick up the vehicle?
When picking up the vehicle, the main driver is to present the following documents: the printed voucher, their identity card or passport; their driving's license and their valid credit card.

Cheap Car Rental Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro’s Galeao International Airport is the largest airport site in Brazil. It ranks as the second busiest nationally and seventh busiest in Latin America at over 17 million passengers a year. The only international gateway for travelers, it also offers some domestic connections and shares some of its facilities with the Brazilian Air Force.

HAPPYCAR offers various attractive options for a Galeao Airport car hire so that wherever you decide to go, your stay in Brazil is stress-free from day one. We check the prices of international and local providers so that you don’t have to check each website to provide you with the best deals on a car hire to make your money go further on a rental car that fits your specific needs. You have the options of choosing car size, pick up location and type of insurance to ensure you get the best deal on a great car hire!

Inside Galeao Airport

Galeao Airport was so named after the Galleon Beach, located just behind the original passenger terminal, where the famous galleon Padre Eterno was built in 1663. The current facility was built as a training school for the Brazilian Air Force in World War II, and commercial operations began a year after the war. Galeao is known mainly for the inaugural flight of the Air France Concorde in 1976.

The airport operates out of two terminals, and plans to upgrade both terminals in the coming years to make way for increased usage in the wake of the World Cup and Summer Olympics.

Taking a car hire from Galeao Airport

The location of the airport, a mere 20 kilometers north of downtown Rio, means that you can immediately take advantage of the excellent road network with a car rental Galeao Airport and through into Brazil, a classic Latin American giant that will quickly dazzle with its powdery white beaches and vibrant metropolises. There are number of expressways that lead right out of the airport and into Rio de Janeiro, and because Rio is a big city a car hire makes for an obvious choice.

Of all the Brazilian cities, Rio has to be one of the best. The second largest city in the country and its unofficial cultural capital, it is famous for its breathtaking landscapes, its laidback beach culture and annual carnival.

You can also easily access roads that lead into the rest of Brazil and on to all the major cities in the area, such as Brasilia and Sao Paulo, with a speed, convenience and personal freedom that public transportation just can’t beat. There is so much to see in this part of the world, and a car hire Galeao Airport can help make this journey a reality.
