Driving in São José do Rio Preto

Car Class Recommendations

Due to the city's diverse terrains, we recommend a versatile mid-size car or SUV. For economical options, compact cars work well too, offering better fuel efficiency and easier parking in the city.

On the Road: Traffic Rules and Speed Limits

Driving is on the right-hand side, unlike the left-hand driving in the UK. Speed limits vary, with a maximum of 60km/h in urban areas, 80km/h on local highways, and 120km/h on national highways. Seatbelts are a must for all passengers, and use of mobile phones while driving is against the law.

Parking

Most tourist attractions have large parking lots, so parking isn't typically a problem. Keep in mind though, parking regulations in the city strictly forbid parking in prohibited zones. Look for a 'Proibido estacionar' sign which means 'No Parking'.

Sights to See and Things to Do

São José do Rio Preto offers a blend of urban and green spaces. Visit the José Maria de Campos Maia Municipal Park and the Represa Municipal for some nature. For cultural sites, don't miss The Cathedral and the Humberto Sinibaldi Neto Municipal Theater. Adventurers can take a day trip to Ibirá Park Resort, Brazil's largest thermal resort.

Exploring the Surrounding Cities: Itinerary Ideas

Use your rental car to explore nearby cities like Bady Bassitt, famous for its ecological parks, and Olímpia, where Thermas dos Laranjais, one of the largest water parks in Brazil, is located.

Climate and Weather

São José do Rio Preto has a tropical savannah climate with warm temperatures throughout the year. The drier months are from May to September, making it an ideal time to visit.

Currency

The local currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). ATMs are readily available and credit cards are widely accepted. It's still a good idea to carry some cash, especially for markets and smaller businesses.

Seasonal Events

Experience local culture at the São José do Rio Preto Country Bull Festival in March. The festival is a grand celebration of Brazilian rodeo, music, and gastronomy.

Enjoy your journey through São José do Rio Preto and explore this Brazilian gem at your own pace with a rental car. Happy travels!
