Porto Alegre - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
You can get around without a car, and just rent when you want to go to the mountains or the beach. Whatever you do, do not take a car to Brazil that has already been in Brazil. It breaks customs. They do not know how to create a new file for a car that already has a file. Your car will spend a year in customs while they try to figure out what to do. - Apr 2025
