Rent a Car in Palmas Center

Palmas is Brazil's youngest and most modern planned capital city, founded in 1989 in central Tocantins, and offers rental cars from six different companies in the center. The city is located on the Tocantins River and Lago de Palmas, an artificial reservoir that extends 40 km along the city's edge. With a rental car, you can efficiently explore Tocantins' wild nature, including the Jalapão region 250 km to the east.

Palmas' center is built around the monumental Praça dos Girassóis with Palácio Araguaia and Assembleia Legislativa. Avenida Teotônio Segurado is the city's main thoroughfare running north-south and hosts shopping centers, restaurants, and car rental offices. Lago de Palmas beaches like Praia da Graciosa are just 5 km from the plaza and are popular during the dry season May–September.
