About Renting a Car at Curitiba Center

Curitiba's downtown is the heart of one of Brazil's most well-planned cities, with 4 car rental agencies and proximity to Rua XV de Novembro, Praça Tiradentes, and Ópera de Arame. From here you can easily reach all parts of the city and motorways leading to the coast, São Paulo, and Foz do Iguaçu.
