Lucas do Rio Verde City Car Hire

Lucas do Rio Verde in the heart of Mato Grosso is one of Brazil's fastest-growing agribusiness cities, and with 1 rental company in the city center there are options for those needing a vehicle in this dynamic region. The city is strategically located along BR-163, the important transport corridor connecting southern and northern Brazil. A car is essentially a must here – public transportation is limited and distances are large.

Lucas do Rio Verde is approximately 360 km north of Cuiabá and 500 km south of Santarém in Pará. The city's surroundings are dominated by soybean fields and cerrado savanna, and excursions to Chapada dos Guimarães (approximately 400 km to the south) are popular among visitors with rental cars. Book your car well in advance – with just one rental company in the city, availability can be limited, especially during harvest season from March to April.
