Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Helena?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Helena?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the U.S. Driving around Santa Helena won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the local traffic rules.

Where can I find a Santa Helena car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Santa Helena rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs.
