Being a coastal city, Rio de Janeiro sometimes experiences heavy rains and storms that cause flooded streets, felled trees, and traffic in various areas, including the tourist hotspots like Copacabana and Ipanema. Besides city trips, you can utilize car rentals in Rio de Janeiro to travel to neighboring places, such as driving an hour to Nova Iguacu for natural tours around the Biological Reserve Tingua and Nova Iguacu Volcano.

Notably, it is illegal to run out of gas when driving in Brazil, regardless of whether your car blocks other traffic or not. You want to refrain from drinking alcohol when attending parties and events in Rio de Janeiro because Brazil has a strict dry law with nearly zero alcohol tolerance when driving.

It is advisable to verify with Rio de Janeiro's motor vehicle department to get any law changes.
