It was a little tricky to find the rental car office (it was outside of the terminal in the next door mall), but otherwise all was very smooth. Having someone there who spoke English was so helpful.

Do not rent from Kayak.comNothingNothing, i lost the reservation because i was a few hours late because of connection issues, and either way the insurance that KAYAK sold me was not from alamo and i would have paid a HUGE amount of money as a guarantee when i would have need less 7 times less if the insurance was bought with them(the difference was 20$ kayak did not gave me options). So i don't know if i should blame Alamo or kayak.com but i'm never renting anything with you guys again.

MOVIDO Employees know very well about MOVIDO policies. However, they were not sure about agreement between (MOVIDO and Kayak or Qeeq). They had to ask few questions to management. After all, everything was fine.

Top tips for hiring a car at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport

  • Car hire at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) is a good option to explore the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro in comfort directly from the airport, avoiding the need to negotiate and navigate busy public transport options. At less than a mile from the city centre, the airport is conveniently located to help you get on your way quickly and easily around the city and surrounding area, and you will reach famous central attractions such as the Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer and Copacabana beaches within a short drive with your hired vehicle.
  • Rio de Janeiro and the surrounding state has excellent driving infrastructure and road networks. You can explore the nearby peninsular of Buzios or the spectacular bay of Paraty, or head to the nearby national parks and mountain ranges. The coastal route 101 runs for around 375 miles and will take you from Rio all the way to Sao Paulo, taking in many places along the coastline. Expect higher speed limits on major highways in comparison to European standards.
  • Rio de Janeiro Airport can be remarkably busy, particularly in the rush hours between 17:00-19:00. Try to avoid these hours, if possible, when retuning your car hire to the airport or give yourself extra time. It may be worth taking advantage of the mid-afternoon lull for an easier journey. You can find several refreshment outlets on the first floor of the departure’s terminal. There is also a restaurant and travel agency in the arrival’s hall, near to the car hire rental desks.
  • You can find several petrol stations on Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport grounds. In case you need to refuel before returning your car rental, the nearest one is central to the airport and near to the tram stop. There is also an electrical vehicle charging station on Avenida Presidente Antonio Carlos slightly further afield but within a few minutes’ drive if you have hired an electric car.
  • Book your car hire at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
