Localiza was established in 1973, around the time of the oil crisis.  The company started out with just six Volkswagen Beetles which it bought on credit. By the time the second oil crisis struck, the company decided to expand and began buying out its competitors. Acquisitions took place in 11 capitals, especially in the Northeast and Brazil.

By 1998, Localiza had converted its fleet rental division into a seperate company which it called Total Fleet. This company was a pioneer in its segment in Brazil.  These days, Total Fleet has more than 20,000 cars, each with sophisticated management and fleet control systems to supply large companies with their rental needs.

Car rental in Brazil provides travellers with the added freedom to explore exciting cities and beautiful beaches. Brazil is synonymous with fun-loving locals and vibrant street parties and festivals.

Whatever time of year visitors travel to Brazil, they will enjoy a warm welcome. A holiday in Brazil offers visitors the chance to experience diverse cultures and landscapes.  The contrasts are most evident in the Amazon and Pantanal rain forests and the high altitude towns of Minas Gerais, the urban metropolis of Sao Paulo and the expansive plateau around Brasilia, home to the popular beaches of Copacobana and Ipanema.  All of these elements combine to make Brasil an exciting and exotic travel destination, here samba, sunshine and soccer reign supreme.

Brazil’s attractions are equally divided between the urban and the natural, with the cultural delights of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paolo balancing the natural wonders of the Amazon and Pantanal rainforests and ensuring there’s something to see and do in Brazil for just about everyone.

Brazils tourist attractions range from the vibrant Carnival in Rio, when the entire population of the city floods the streets to party and dance into the early hours of the morning.
