About Renting a Car at São Borja Piraboi
São Borja is a border town in western Rio Grande do Sul, located on the Uruguay River directly opposite Argentine Santo Tomé, about 550 km west of Porto Alegre. The Piraboi area has one rental company serving this remote but historically important region. São Borja is known as the birthplace of two Brazilian presidents: Getúlio Vargas and João Goulart.
The international bridge over the Uruguay River connects the city with Argentina, and BR-285 leads east toward Santa Maria, about 260 km away. Drive north along the Uruguay River on BR-472 to experience the wild Pampa nature. Plan fuel stops carefully - gas stations are sparse in the region.
Cross the border into Argentina via the bridge for a day trip to Santo Tomé. Can I take the rental car to Argentina from São Borja? It depends on the rental company's terms - always check whether border crossings are allowed and if additional insurance is required.
How far is it from São Borja to Porto Alegre? About 550 km east via BR-285 and BR-158, a journey of approximately 6-7 hours. What is there to see in the São Borja region?
