Seeing as Lapa is just 0.5 miles from Rio de Janeiro, it's quite likely you'll visit downtown at least once or twice during your trip.

First of all, there's a huge range of both luxury and economy rental vehicles in Lapa. What you end up going for depends on how much you want to spend as well as what you plan to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles offer the best in mod cons and comfort. If you're splurging, why not go for an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps an upmarket medium-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you just need a car to whiz around town in as economically as possible, maybe go for an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).
