Driving in Northeast Brazil
Car Class Recommendations
We recommend compact to intermediate-sized cars for city driving. For exploring the interior or coastal areas, a robust SUV might be preferable. Always consider the type of roads you'll be encountering and the number of passengers and luggage when choosing your rental car.
Traffic Rules & Speed Limits
Brazil's traffic rules are consistent with international standards. Remember that seat belts are mandatory for everyone in the vehicle. Speed limits are 60 km/h for urban areas, 80 km/h for suburban areas, and 100 km/h for motorways. Stay within these limits to ensure a safe and relaxing road trip.
Exploring the Cities and Beaches
The Northeast Region boasts several bustling cities and tranquil beaches. Drive to the historic city of Olinda in Pernambuco, to visit churches dating back to the 16th-century. Brazilians flock to Praia do Futuro in Fortaleza for its large beach barracks, an ideal spot for relaxation.
Weather & Best Time to Visit
The region generally enjoys a tropical climate. The best time to visit is from December to February when the weather is warm and the carnival season is at its peak. However, also consider the off-peak seasons for fewer crowds and lower car rental prices.
Currency & Payment Methods
The official currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Credit cards are generally accepted, but it's a good idea to keep some cash on hand for smaller establishments and toll booths.
