- Drive through Recife on Linha Verde and you’ll experience great photo opportunities. The city of Recife also provides access to numerous islands in Brazil, including Itamaraca and Recife Antigo.

Charged me a R$ 12.000 deposit because I declined their insurance as I had already purchased insurance through Kayak. That's a US$ 4,000 charge on my credit card.One location in Recife

When to book a car hire in Recife
Car hire insurance in Recife
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) & Theft Protection Waiver
Some Recife car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Recife.
Deductible
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Recife car hire.
