Car rental Roraima

Routes and Attractions

The best part of travelling with a rented vehicle is the boundless freedom to be on your own schedule, explore at your own pace and make spontaneous detours to lesser-known scenic spots.

BR-174, the major highway connecting the capital Boa Vista with the rest of Brazil, is a good starting point. It's well-maintained and easy to navigate.

Boa Vista

The capital city, Boa Vista, itself has wondrous attractions such as the Anauá Park and the Orla Taumanan. Good idea to get a smaller city car class for more comfort in narrow city streets.

Mount Roraima

An SUV is recommended for those who want to venture out of the city and explore natural wonders like Mount Roraima, one of the oldest geographical formations on Earth.

Ilha de Maracá Ecological Station

This ecological station is an unparalleled realm of wildlife and brimming with breathtaking biodiversity. Here's a chance to genuinely appreciate the Amazon.

Motorway Conduct

Road etiquette in Roraima is generally laidback, but terms such as 'roundabouts' are foreign here. Instead, Brazilian roads mainly employ a system called 'rotary', somewhat similar to roundabouts, but traffic circle protocol isn't necessarily followed – so remain attentive at all times!

Speed Limits

In cities, the speed limit is typically set at 60km/h (37mph), with main highways allowing up to 80km/h (50mph) and expressways 120km/h (75mph). Speed cameras are common, and continuing on UK's 70mph could earn you a fine.

Make the Most of Your Roraima Adventure

No matter what time of the year you visit, prepare for a tropical climate, pack for high temperatures and don't forget your most comfortable pair of flip flops and sunscreen. Driving around also means you get to experience local culture more vividly and engage in local festivities like São João, a celebration of the solstice with music, dance and folklore.
