About Renting a Car at Feira de Santana Center

Feira de Santana is Bahia's second-largest city and one of Brazil's most important transportation hubs, located 108 km northeast of Salvador at the intersection of BR-116 and BR-324. With five rental companies in the center, you have a wide selection for exploring Bahia's interior and coast. A rental car is ideal for reaching Chapada Diamantina 460 km west or Praia do Forte 80 km east.

The center is dominated by Feira de Santana Shopping Center and the famous Feira de Santana market with its Monday market, one of Brazil's largest. Avenida Getúlio Vargas is the city's commercial artery and leads directly to the highways. The city's strategic location at BR-116 and BR-324 makes it a natural stop for transportation between the northeast and southeast.

Avoid driving through the center on Mondays during the large market – traffic can be at a standstill for hours. BR-116 north toward Feira de Santana is heavily used by trucks – maintain safe distance and avoid passing on curves. Book a rental car well in advance of the São João festival in June, when the city is packed with visitors.
