Car rental at the Marília Airport

Marília is a culturally rich city, offering a diverse mix of experiences from culinary adventures to nature trails. The experience can be different from what you're used to in the UK, but that's the beauty of new discoveries!

Upon Arrival - Marília Airport

Marília Airport, one of the prominent airports in São Paulo, will be your first engagement with Brazil. Car rental agencies are your first stop in the airport's main terminal. It's best to pre-book your car online to make your transition smoother.

Renting a Car

Cars in Brazil are left-hand drive, contrary to the right-hand drive cars in the UK. Manual transmissions are more common too, so make sure to specify if you prefer an automatic vehicle when booking your rental car. Popular car class choices are economy and compact, which save fuel and manoeuvre easily through city traffic.

Filling Up

Fuel stations are numerous around the airport. It's notable that many cars in Brazil are “flex-fuel” vehicles that can run either on petrol or ethanol, unlike in the UK where petrol and diesel are common. Ethanol is cheaper and more environmentally friendly, but petrol gives better mileage.

Getting Around

From Marília Airport, it's a short drive to the city centre. It's advisable to use a map or GPS for navigation as local road signs might be in Portuguese. Brazil drives on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to the UK's left-hand driving, so be cautious.

Currency and Climate

Brazil's currency is the Real (BRL), and while credit and debit cards are widely accepted, some smaller establishments only accept cash. The climate is tropical, with the warmest month being February and cooler months from July to September, diverging from the UK's temperate weather.

Attractions and Surrounding Cities

Marília boasts a lineup of attractions like the 'Cathedral of São Bento' and 'Esmeraldas Park', rewarding visitors with enriching experiences. Bauru and Ourinhos are among the surrounding cities that are worth a road trip.

Enjoy Marília

Marília Airport is a gateway to a memorable travel experience waiting for you in Brazil. Embrace the excitement of stepping out of your UK comfort zone and discovering vibrant new cultures and landscapes. Enjoy your tour!
