Frequently Asked Questions
Rental Pricing
What is Estimated Rental Price in Brazil?
The Estimated Rental Price includes the total of all known rates, taxes,
fees, surcharges and applicable drop off charges that you must pay either
by law or by local policy for the length of a particular car rental request.
This price does not include optional services such as insurance waivers,
special equipment, mileage charges, or gasoline etc. It also does not
include extra day or hour charges that can result from a late return
of the rental car. This price is provided so you can better estimate
the total price you may pay to the rental car company for your car, but
is not a guarantee of your total charges.
Are there special taxes for car rentals in countries outside of the
US?
Yes, there can be some mandatory taxes that are only applied in certain
countries. Check with the car company when you are picking up your car.
Are taxes and insurance included in the quoted rate?
No, taxes and insurance are not included in the quoted rate.
What is the difference between base rental rate and total charges?
The base rate is the amount of the rental before any taxes, service fees
or mandatory insurance charges are included. Total charges would include
all additional fees.
What are CDW, PAI, TPI, VAT, VLF and airport taxes? Do I have to pay
them?
CDW is Collision Damage Waiver, PAI is Personal Accident Insurance, TPI
is Theft Protection Insurance, VAT is Value Added Tax, and VLF is Vehicle
License Fee. Airport taxes are the fees that the airports charge to car
companies for the use of their terminals, railroads, and roads; plus
other service charges mandated by the airport. Yes, some of these various
taxes and charges are mandatory and you will be advised of them at the
time of car pick up.
Car Rental Reservation Process
Will the car company that confirms my reservation be the same one that
provides my car?
Not always. Some car companies have affiliates they use.
Will I need a credit card in my name to rent a car?
Yes, the driver will need to present a valid credit card in the driver's
name. Debit cards are not accepted.
How old do I have to be to rent a car?
Most major car rental companies require renters to be a minimum of 25
years of age. Some car rental companies do allow renters at the minimum
age of 18 but there is an increase in the rate of the rental and a
deposit is required.
Do I need a foreign drivers License?
Not all car companies require you to have a license from the country
in which you are driving. Check with your car rental agency prior to
pick up to be sure you are prepared.
Are car accessories available?
Many rental agencies offer car accessories such as child seats, ski racks,
tape/CD players, etc. You can request these at the time of reservation
in the "Special Requests or Information" section of the TravelNow
Secure Car Reservation form when making your car rental reservation.
Extra charges may apply for these items and they are based on availability.
Can I modify/change an existing reservation?
Yes; however, modifications may cause rate changes. Car rates can change
daily, or even hourly, so changes you make to your reservation after
confirmation can affect the original rate.
Is there a shuttle service to my rental car?
Many rental agencies offer shuttle service to the car pick up location
from the airport. You will need to ask about this service prior to
your arrival or check at the airport.
Will I receive the make/model of car I have reserved?
Receiving the requested make or model of car depends upon availability
at the time of your arrival to pick up the vehicle. We cannot guarantee
the make or model you will receive.
