Airport Car Rental
Rent a car at Recife Airport! Then drive to the city to explore the amazing beaches. Boa Viagem is famous and centrally located, but with your rental car you can head to Pina Beach or Brasilia Teimosa Beach, too. Another great way to enjoy the water that surrounds the city is to hop on a ferry from Marco Zero Square to Parque das Esculturas.
In central Recife, take in some culture and history at the Aluísio Magalhães Modern Art Museum, the Pernambuco Image and Sound Museum, or the Abolition Museum. And make sure to see a Maracatu dance performance. Feeling adventurous? How about scuba diving among shipwrecks and coral reefs? You might even spot rays or giant sea turtles if you’re lucky!
Recife’s a great place to visit, but why not choose a longer term car rental offer? Take your time to explore more of Pernambuco State, its culture and beaches. If you’re up for a real adventure, drive south to Salvador de Bahia or all the way to Rio de Janeiro. Picking up your rental car at Recife Airport and dropping it off in a different city is easy. Start planning your adventure today!
