Car and motorcycle rental in Florianopolis
Florianopolis spreads across an island and a mainland district, with beaches, residential neighbourhoods and business areas far apart from each other. Having a vehicle during your stay is usually the simplest way to plan your days at your own pace.
Is renting a vehicle in Florianopolis worth it?
It depends on your itinerary. If you stay at one beach and walk to restaurants and shops, you may not need a car every day. If you plan to explore different parts of the island, cross to the mainland, travel with luggage or mix work and leisure, a vehicle usually adds a lot of freedom.
When a car or a motorcycle helps
Tight arrival and departure times, trips with children or heavy luggage, itineraries that change area during the same day and business trips with several meetings tend to be easier with your own vehicle. For short solo trips around town, a motorcycle can be a practical option.
Cars and motorcycles in the same request
Bumba works with both cars and motorcycles. You can select a specific model from the fleet or simply describe the profile you need — economy, sedan, SUV, seven seats or motorcycle — and let the team suggest options.
Choosing a vehicle for your trip
Couples and short stays often look at compact models. Families with luggage usually consider sedans, SUVs or seven-seaters. Solo travellers sometimes prefer a motorcycle. None of this is a rule: the final choice is yours and can be discussed with the team.
Pick-up and drop-off
Tell us the location you have in mind: an address, a hotel, the airport or another reference point. The Bumba team confirms availability and instructions on WhatsApp. You can also request a different drop-off location.
Arriving by plane
Florianopolis International Airport can be named as your preferred location in the request. If you are flying in, add your flight number and estimated arrival time so the team can organise the service more precisely.
Neighbourhoods and areas you can name
Downtown, Canasvieiras, Ingleses, Jurere, Campeche, Lagoa da Conceicao and other parts of the island can be named in your request, as well as nearby cities such as Sao Jose and Palhoca. Each local page covers the context of that area.
Getting around the island
Distances between the north, the centre and the south of the island vary a lot depending on the day, the time and the season. Planning trips with some margin usually makes for a calmer day than trying to fit many destinations into one.
