Locating the Rental Car Center in the Terminal

  • Collect Your Luggage and Clear Customs

    After landing, proceed to baggage claim and clear customs as usual.

  • Enter the Main Arrivals Hall

    You will enter the main public arrivals hall on the ground floor.

  • Turn Right Toward the Rental Counters

    From the arrivals hall, simply turn to your right. You will see a prominent cluster of brightly lit counters under signs for car rentals.

  • Follow the "Locadoras de Veículos" Signs

    Look for the Portuguese term for car rentals: "Locadoras de Veículos" on overhead signs. Following these signs will lead you directly to the rental car hall on the same ground floor — no need to change levels or exit the terminal.

The Pickup Process: What to Expect at the Counter

When you arrive at your designated rental company's counter, the process is efficient. To ensure it goes as smoothly as possible, have the following documents ready to present:

Your Passport
As your primary form of photo identification.
A Valid Driver's License
Your physical, valid license from the United States.
International Driving Permit (IDP)
While not always mandatory, an IDP is strongly recommended. It serves as an official translation of your U.S. license and can prevent any potential misunderstandings or issues with local authorities.
Credit Card
A major credit card must be presented in the main driver's name for the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted for this.
Your Rental Voucher
Have your booking confirmation from QEEQ available, either on your phone or as a printed copy.

From Keys to Car: Finding Your Vehicle

Overview
Directions

Unlike some airports that require a shuttle bus, CWB offers the convenience of an on-site parking garage.

After receiving your keys, the rental agent will direct you to the main airport parking garage, known as the Estacionamento. This structure is located directly across from the terminal building, just a short, covered walk away.

Car Rental Companies at CWB Airport

The main rental car hall in the arrivals terminal hosts several major, reputable companies.

Essential Tips for a Smooth Rental Experience at CWB

Inspect Your Vehicle Thoroughly

Before leaving the parking garage, walk around the car and inspect it for any pre-existing scratches, dents, or damage. Take photos and a quick video with your smartphone, making sure to capture the interior condition and fuel level as well. Report any undocumented damage to an attendant before you exit.

Understand Local Tolls

Many highways in Brazil use an electronic toll system with tags like "Sem Parar" or "ConectCar." Ask your rental agent if your vehicle is equipped with one of these tags and how you will be billed for its use.

After-Hours Pickups

Since the major companies at CWB operate 24/7, after-hours pickups are standard. Your reservation guarantees that staff will be available to assist you, even if your flight is delayed late into the night.

Language Tip

Remember the key phrase: "Locadoras de Veículos". If you get turned around in the terminal for any reason, airport staff will know exactly where to point you if you use this term.
