The instructions for finding a shuttle that would take us to the offsite location to rent the car were so in accurate. We walked around for ever looking for a rental counter and found that the shuttle that was supposed to take us was a green shuttle marked “Localiza”. How were we supposed to know that? We ended up taking a cab to get there.
I took all the insurance. Driving in Brazil is a contact sport. We got a flat. I called for roadside service and was told to take the tire off and get it fixed. I am 60 years old and I don’t change my tires at home. I do not speak Portuguese so even if I got the tire off the car, I would not know where to take it nor could I talk to them if I found them! I asked for a supervisor and was told there was none. I walked to the local Localiza store. (Localiza is the Alamo partner in Brazil). Asked for a manager and was told to drive the car there and they would swap cars! So we distorted the tire driving it flat and they gave us a different car. The moral to the story? USE MOVIDA IN BRAZIL! They would have brought me a New car no questions asked!

They are basically very amateur and a bit dishonest. They would not release a car to me 3 hours earlier although their lot was full. I was more than willing to pay. The extra charged for a half day was 3 times more than what I paid daily. I find this very dishonest.

They should not charge for a full day when I was onlylate a few hours Should be prorated
The rental charge was 50% more than what it was supposed to be. They charged me for extra insurance which I did not want. The drop off experience was not pleasant because they put on extra costs which didn’t equal my online amount! They also did not return my damage deposit upon drop off.

Unexpected charges were added to the cost of the car, plus they charged to have the car super-cleaned when I dropped it off. Unacceptable!

The Car renstal was perfect, operator was Localiza.. I was helped professionally on their location at Guarulhos airport. Car was fine. However, getting in touch to inform my flight was delayed with a day was impossible from my location (EU) because they only offered the option to call a Brazilian phone. . I needed to ask a friend in Brasil to secure the reservation. He only succeeded but needed to talk to 6 employees which managed to give the wrong information…. This need to be improved ASAP, ridiculous.
Insurance isn’t exactly what I understand. Hertz in Brazil is operated by Localiza, any moment Kayak mention that, help you to find the rental place.

Despite the price of the kayak reservation, they charged me $60 more and could not even justify it. They threat that the amount would become debt in Brazil. Horrible experience

The Brazilian Hertz affiliate Localiza, could not find the Hertz reservation in their computer system. After much discussion and time and examining the email from kayak/hertz... They wrote up a rental contract for me with the same price that kayak and Hertz quoted ... So picking up the car took almost ONE HOUR.
We arrived to the agency and they gave us these options: 1. You can take a car in the size you order with no radio (or audio system at all) 2. Take a smaller car. No compensation, no upgrade, no im sorry. They worst car experience I had in my life. When in Brazil - use ONLY Localiza

Keep in mind that it is never a good idea to drink-drive no matter how old you are.
