Brasilia car hire

As the roads can be bumpy and in rather poor condition, it is advised to opt for an average-priced car instead of a sports car. A common car will also fit in with the other vehicles better, making you less conspicuous as a tourist. Remember that stick shifts are still commonly used in Brazil and an automatic car will most likely cost more.
