Planning a trip to Peru from Brazil and renting a car for your journey can open the door to countless adventures. However, you might be wondering what is needed to drive legally and enjoyably in Peru.
Common questions include:
  • Can I rent a car in Peru with a Brazilian driver's license?
  • What insurance type is required for car rentals?
  • How expensive are daily rental rates in Peru?
  • Are self-drive routes safe for tourists?
  • What additional surcharges should I anticipate?

This guide provides Brazilian travelers with everything needed to rent and drive confidently in Peru. From documentation requirements to local driving tips, you'll be well-prepared for your journey.

Can Brazilian Citizens Drive in Peru with a Rental Car?

Yes, Brazilian travelers can rent and drive cars in Peru as foreign renters, provided they carry a valid passport, an acceptable driving licence, and a physical credit card in the main driver’s name. Age limits and young driver surcharges may apply depending on the driver’s age.

  • Form of ID:

    Foreign renters must present a valid passport at the rental counter.

  • Driving licence:

    The main and any additional drivers must hold a full physical driving licence with no major endorsements, typically held for at least 1 year. Accepted driving licence include:
    • Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP) (IDP is only a translation; the original licence must also be presented).

  • Accepted cards:

    Physical credit cards in the full name of the main driver are required. Accepted cards may include Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, Discover, and American Express, depending on the specific offer. Prepaid, virtual, or debit cards are generally not accepted as primary payment or deposit tools.

  • Age requirements:

    Depending on vehicle and offer, the permitted driving age ranges between 18–99 years. Common policies include: drivers 18–21 or 21–24 years old may rent but will incur a young driver surcharge (for example, about US$14–20 per day), while drivers 25 and above generally pay no young driver fee. Maximum age limits (typically 75–99) can apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions for travelers from Brazil renting a car in Peru

Do I need an International Driving Permit (PID) or is my Brazilian CNH enough to rent a car in Peru?

Your valid Brazilian CNH, together with your passport, is sufficient to rent and drive a car in Peru as a tourist for up to 180 days. The PID is not mandatory, but can be helpful in case you're stopped by police in remote areas, as it is in Spanish.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Peru?

Most rental companies require the driver to be at least 25 years old. Some allow drivers between 21 and 24, but usually charge a 'young driver fee.' When booking with QEEQ, you can filter by your age and the platform shows available options and extra costs clearly.

Which documents do I need to present at the car rental desk?

You'll need: your physical, valid Brazilian CNH (digital version not accepted); your original passport with Peru entry stamp; an international credit card with enough limit for the security deposit, in the main driver's name; and your QEEQ reservation voucher.

Is my Brazilian credit card accepted? Does it need to be unlocked for international use?

Yes, international credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.) issued in Brazil are widely accepted. You must inform your bank of the trip and unlock the card for use in Peru to avoid payment or deposit issues.

Can I pay for the rental or deposit with PIX or debit card?

No. The deposit must be made with a credit card in the main driver's name. The amount is blocked, not charged. The rental payment is usually also by credit card. PIX and debit cards are not accepted for these transactions in Peru.

I need an additional driver. What are the requirements?

The additional driver must meet the same requirements as the main driver: minimum age, valid CNH and passport. They must be registered in the contract at pick-up. There is usually a daily fee for each additional driver, detailed during your QEEQ booking.

My CNH is about to expire. Can I still rent a car?

Your CNH must be valid for the entire rental period. If it expires during your trip, you cannot legally drive. Check the expiration date before traveling.

Why should I use QEEQ to book my car rental in Peru?

QEEQ offers transparent and competitive prices, an easy booking process in Portuguese, clear insurance options, and dedicated customer support in Portuguese. It's ideal for Brazilian travelers to avoid surprises and get assistance if needed.

How does the reservation process work on QEEQ?

It's simple: access QEEQ's website or app, enter your pick-up city and dates, compare offers from reliable companies, choose your car and insurance package, fill in your details, and pay securely. The confirmation voucher arrives instantly by email.

What type of car is best for Peruvian roads? Is an economy car enough?

It depends on your route. On the coast (Lima, Paracas, Nazca), an economy or sedan is enough. In the Andes (Cusco, Sacred Valley, Huaraz), an SUV (4x2 or 4x4) is highly recommended due to unpaved roads, steep climbs, and unpredictable weather.

What is the 'caução' (security deposit) and how much is it?

It's a blocked amount on your credit card as a guarantee against damages, fines, or missing fuel. In Peru, expect US$800 to US$2,000 depending on the car and insurance. Choosing more comprehensive insurance on QEEQ often reduces the required deposit.

Can I pick up the car in one city (e.g., Lima) and return it in another (e.g., Cusco)?

Yes, this is called a 'one-way' rental. However, there is usually a high one-way fee in Peru due to logistical complexity. When you simulate your QEEQ reservation, the fee is calculated and shown clearly before finalizing.

What extra costs could appear beyond the daily rate?

Be aware of: young driver fee, additional driver fee, one-way fee, GPS/child seat rental, local taxes (usually included in QEEQ's final price), and airport fees. QEEQ details most of these costs during booking for full transparency.

What is included in the QEEQ price?

Generally, the QEEQ price includes the daily rental, mileage (often unlimited), mandatory SOAT insurance, and basic protections (CDW/LDW) with deductible. The platform details exactly what each package covers for easy comparison.

Is it cheaper to book on the spot or reserve in advance via QEEQ?

Booking in advance with QEEQ is almost always cheaper and safer. You guarantee your desired car (especially SUVs in high season), lock in the price, and avoid higher counter rates. Last-minute rentals are risky and expensive.

What is SOAT insurance and is it included?

SOAT (Seguro Obligatorio de Accidentes de Tránsito) is mandatory in Peru and covers personal injuries to vehicle occupants and third parties. It must always be included in your rental price. Check for the SOAT sticker on the windshield and documentation in the glovebox.

What do CDW and LDW mean? Are they enough?

CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) cover collision damage and theft/loss of the rental vehicle, usually with a high deductible. For most travelers, this basic protection is not enough for full peace of mind.

What is a deductible (franquia/exceso) and how can I reduce it?

The deductible is your financial participation in case of damage or theft. To reduce or eliminate it, you can purchase extra insurance (Super CDW, etc.) at the counter or get QEEQ's comprehensive coverage when booking.

Is my credit card's insurance valid for car rentals in Peru?

Some premium cards offer CDW/LDW protection, but you must decline the rental company's CDW/LDW and pay the full rental with the card. Always check with your card issuer before your trip for coverage details and be prepared for a higher deposit at the counter.

Does QEEQ offer its own insurance? Is it worth it?

Yes, QEEQ offers Total Coverage and Deductible Refund plans, which are usually cheaper than counter options and offer wide coverage, including windows, tires, and roof. If a claim occurs, you pay the rental company and then request reimbursement from QEEQ.

Does insurance cover damage on dirt or unpaved roads?

Many rental contracts and basic insurance exclude coverage for damage on unofficial or unpaved roads. If you plan to explore the Andes, check this clause carefully. QEEQ's more complete packages often have greater flexibility, but always read the terms.

What is SLI/EP/TPL insurance? Do I need it?

These refer to third-party liability insurance covering material and bodily damage to others. In Peru, SOAT covers bodily injury to third parties, but SLI supplements this, especially for property damage. It's strongly recommended to have this coverage.

What should I inspect on the car before leaving the rental location?

Check and photograph all exterior sides for scratches/dents, point them out to staff and have them marked on the inspection form. Check tire condition (including spare), tools, test A/C, lights, and confirm all paperwork (including SOAT) is present.

How does the fuel policy work?

The most common is 'Full/Full': you receive the car full and must return it full. Otherwise, the company charges for missing fuel at above-market rates plus a service fee. Find a gas station near the return location to fill up before drop-off.

My flight was delayed. What happens to my reservation?

If you provided your flight number on QEEQ, the rental company usually monitors the flight and holds your reservation for a few hours. If not, or if the delay is long, call the local rental office or QEEQ support to inform them.

What if I return the car late?

Most companies allow a grace period (30–59 minutes). After that, they may charge a late fee or a full day. Plan your return with extra time, especially considering Lima traffic.

Is the car return process time-consuming?

Usually it's quick. An agent inspects the car for new damage and checks the fuel level. If everything is fine, the contract is closed and the deposit is released. Keep your copy of the return inspection form.

When is the deposit released from my card?

The company requests the release right after you return the car, but it can take 7–20 business days for your credit limit to be restored, depending on your card issuer.

Can I pick up the car at Lima airport and return it in downtown?

Yes, many companies have offices both at the airport and in neighborhoods like Miraflores. This usually does not incur a one-way fee if within the same city. Check available locations on QEEQ's platform.

What is the quality of roads in Peru? Is it very different from Brazil?

The Pan-American Highway along the coast is excellent and well-marked, similar to a good federal road in Brazil. In the Andes, roads are winding, narrow, with climbs and descents, and can range from good asphalt to dirt and gravel. Drive more cautiously than in Brazil.

What are the main traffic rules I should know?

Drive on the right, as in Brazil. Speed limits are usually 100 km/h on highways, 80 km/h rural, 40–60 km/h in cities. Seat belts are mandatory for all. Low beams required on highways during the day. At roundabouts, those already inside usually have priority.

Is it safe to drive at night in Peru?

It's highly recommended to avoid driving at night outside major cities, especially in the Andes and rural areas, due to poor lighting, animals, vehicles without lights, and increased robbery risk. Plan to finish your drive before dark.

How should I handle a police stop?

Stay calm, stop in a safe place, keep your hands on the wheel, and be polite. Present your documents (CNH, passport, car docs). If fined, the police should issue a ticket; never pay directly to the officer. Politely insist on official procedures if pressured for a bribe.

How do tolls (peajes) work? Do they accept cards?

Tolls are common on main roads. Most only accept cash (Peruvian soles). Always have small bills and coins in the car for tolls. Charges are generally low.

Do Waze and Google Maps work well in Peru?

Yes, they work well in cities and main roads. It's essential to have a local SIM card or international data plan. For remote Andes areas, download offline maps in advance as cell signal may be unavailable.

How is Peruvian driving culture? Is it very different from Brazil?

Lima's traffic is chaotic—possibly more intense than São Paulo or Rio. Horns are used for everything, lane changes are abrupt, and right-of-way is often ignored. Outside Lima, it's calmer but requires attention in small towns. Urban driving is more aggressive and impatient.

What types of fuel are there and how do I fill up?

'Gasohol' is the term for gasoline, available in 90, 95, and 97 octane. Check the car's sticker for the recommended type. Diesel is also available. Gas stations are not self-service—a staff member will fill the tank for you.

What are the challenges of driving in the Andes?

Altitude can cause engine power loss and altitude sickness. Roads are winding, with steep drop-offs—drive slowly and use engine braking on descents. Weather can change quickly, and animals may cross the road.

Is it feasible to drive from Lima to Cusco?

It's a long and challenging journey—about 1,100 km, at least 20–24 hours of driving. Recommended to split over 2–3 days with stops. The route crosses high altitudes and isolated stretches; a reliable SUV and experienced driver are advised.

How is parking in tourist cities like Cusco?

In Cusco's historic center, street parking is very limited. Private paid lots are the best option. Many hotels offer parking—consider this when booking if you have a car.

What should I do in case of a car accident?

Check for injuries and signal the spot. Call the police (105), then your rental company's 24-hour assistance. Do not admit guilt or make deals. Wait for police and company representatives. Photograph the scene and other parties' documents.

What if the car breaks down on the road?

Call the rental company's roadside assistance immediately (number in contract and on the keychain). They'll send a mechanic or tow truck as needed. Always have a working cell phone. 24-hour assistance is usually included.

I received a traffic ticket. What should I do?

Notify the rental company when returning the car. Usually, they pay the fine and then charge your credit card plus an administrative fee. Do not try to pay the fine yourself.

I lost the car key. What now?

Contact the rental company's assistance immediately. Lost keys are generally not covered by basic insurance and replacements can be expensive. The company will guide you on next steps.

Can I cross the border to Bolivia or Chile with the rental car?

No. Most Peruvian rental companies strictly prohibit taking the vehicle out of the country. Attempting to cross the border will break your contract, void insurance, and may cause legal issues.

Is it possible to drive to Machu Picchu?

No. You cannot drive to Machu Picchu Pueblo (Aguas Calientes). The final leg is only accessible by train or foot. You can drive to Ollantaytambo, park there, and take the train.

What should I do if the car is stolen?

Move to a safe place and immediately call the police (105) to file a report. Then call the rental company. You'll need the police report to activate the insurance.

Can the rental company give me a different car from what I reserved on QEEQ?

You are guaranteed a car category, not a specific model. The company may provide a similar or superior category at no extra cost if your reserved model isn't available. If offered a lower category, you can refuse and demand your booked or superior category.

Is air conditioning essential in Peru?

On the coast (Lima, Ica, Paracas), where it's hot and humid, A/C is indispensable. In the Andes, it's cooler but still useful for defogging windows. It's strongly recommended to rent a car with air conditioning.

If I have a problem with the rental company at pick-up, can QEEQ help me?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of booking with QEEQ is their customer support in Portuguese. If you have issues at pick-up, such as unexpected charges or car unavailability, contact QEEQ support immediately for assistance.
