Driving in Campinas: What Americans Must Know

Essential answers about licenses, tolls, safety, and hidden fees before you rent a car

Can I use my US driver's license alone, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You MUST have an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your valid US license—Brazilian police and rental companies typically won't accept a US license alone. Get your IDP from AAA before you leave the US (costs around $20, same-day service available). Without it, you could face fines, have your car impounded, or void your insurance coverage.
How do toll roads work? Should I rent an electronic tag?
Campinas is surrounded by toll roads (pedágios) on major highways like Bandeirantes and Anhanguera—expect to pay R$5-15 per toll plaza. Most tolls accept cash and cards, but lanes with 'Sem Parar/Via Fácil' are electronic-only. Renting the rental company's electronic tag (R$15-30/day) is convenient but often overpriced—stick to cash lanes and keep small bills handy.
Is it safe to drive in Campinas? What about carjacking and robbery risks?
Campinas has moderate crime risks—carjacking and robbery at traffic lights (especially 'flash kidnappings') are real concerns. Keep doors locked, windows up at stoplights, and valuables completely hidden. Avoid driving at night in unfamiliar areas, never stop for 'accidents' or people flagging you down, and use paid parking lots (estacionamentos) instead of street parking. The risk is manageable with vigilance.
What's the deal with ethanol at gas stations? Can I use it?
Most Brazilian rental cars are 'flex-fuel' and can run on either gasoline or ethanol (álcool)—ethanol is usually 20-40% cheaper per liter. However, ethanol gives roughly 30% lower fuel economy, so the savings may cancel out. Ask your rental agent which fuel the car uses; if it's flex, either works fine. Most stations are full-service—tip the attendant R$5-10.
Will I get hit with a 'young driver fee' if I'm under 25?
Yes—most rental companies in Brazil charge an extra R$30-80 per day for drivers aged 21-24, and many won't rent to anyone under 21 at all. Drivers 25+ avoid this fee entirely. Some premium vehicle categories (SUVs, luxury cars) require drivers to be 25 or even 30+. Book early and compare companies—Localiza and Unidas sometimes have lower young driver surcharges than international chains.
What insurance should I actually buy? Is the basic coverage enough?
Brazil's mandatory basic insurance (LDW) often has high deductibles (R$2,000-5,000+) and excludes theft, glass, and tire damage—risks that are elevated here. Strongly consider full coverage with zero deductible, especially given theft concerns. Check if your credit card offers primary rental car insurance in Brazil (many US cards do), but verify it covers theft and liability—most exclude Brazil or provide secondary coverage only.
