Yes, Brazilian travelers can rent and drive cars in Luxembourg when they present the correct passport, driving licence, and payment card. Age limits and young driver surcharges vary by rental company.
Form of ID:
Foreign renters must present a valid physical passport.
Driving licence:
The main and any additional drivers must present a full, physical driving licence with no major endorsements, held for at least 1–2 years (exact requirement depends on the car category).
Accepted driving licence include:
• Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP)
• EU/EEA Driving License (valid for rental across the EU/EEA, as well as in Switzerland and the United Kingdom).
Accepted cards:
Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required at pick-up. Accepted credit cards may include Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, Discover and, for some offers, JCB. Some offers also accept debit cards (Visa or MasterCard) for deposits, but others strictly require a credit card. A second credit card (Visa or MasterCard) may be required for certain vehicles or suppliers.
Age requirements:
Depending on the offer, the minimum age to rent ranges between 18 and 23 years, and the maximum age between 70 and 99 years. Some companies apply a young driver surcharge if the main driver is within the specified young driver band, for example: - 18–24 years: about US$ 23.59 per day (≈ EUR 20/day). - 19–24 years: about US$ 23.59 per day, capped around US$ 235.96 per month (≈ EUR 20/day, EUR 200/month). - 18–23 years: about US$ 14.15 per day (≈ EUR 12/day). - 21–22 years: about US$ 29.49 per day (≈ EUR 25/day). - 23–24 years: about US$ 28.31 per day (≈ EUR 24/day). Always check the specific vehicle/rate, as each may apply different age bands and fees.
Requirements may vary between rental companies. Always confirm details when booking.
