Rio De Janeiro Brazil Car Rental - When visiting Rio de Janeiro keep in mind that renting a car is not advisable since driving through the city is very difficult. Tourists usually end up getting terribly lost, so if you cannot hire a driver then the bus is the best way to travel.

The public transportation in Rio de Janeiro is by bus and is by the most popular form in the city. It is cheap and effective. There are bus lines that connect the whole city which makes it a very desirable means of transportation. Many travel agents and tour guides would advise tourists to utilize the bus system for convenience. Rio has a subway also. It is safe and reliable, but it is small compared to other subway systems in other cities.

If you do wish to rent a car there are rental agencies that offer pick ups and drop offs at the RIO DE JANEIRO-GALEÃO (ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT).
