What kind of rental car should I get for Copacabana?

Copacabana is a little way out of downtown Rio de Janeiro, so there's a good chance you'll be doing your fair share of driving. If you're going to use Copacabana as a base from which to discover the city and its nearby areas, choose a smaller ride. There's nothing like a compact for squeezing into those tight parking spaces. Alternatively, if you're moving away from all the hustle and bustle and bright lights, reserve something with a stronger engine and more legroom. Not many visitors regret spending that little bit extra on a full-size or an SUV.

Should I get a luxury rental car in Copacabana?

First of all, there's an impressive variety of both economy and luxury vehicles to rent in Copacabana. What you opt for is largely dependent on how much you want to spend and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about comfort and class. If you want to indulge yourself, why not pick an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a slick mid-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need something to zip around town in as economically as possible, maybe go for an economy vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).
