What do I need to do?
Do I need to have an international drivers licence? Does it have to be translated to Portuguese?
How much will it all cost me?
Should I rather travel with a bus (time period: 8 days)?
I have just spent 3 months in Brazil, Buses are very good but very cold, they turn the Air-con up to the max so take a blanket! Buses, however they are not cheap. Its approx. 8-10 reals per hour of travel (so a 24 hour bus ride will be approx 200 real). They are frequent, fairly reliable and go from any major city to any other major city.
For hiring cars, you must be 25 (21 with some firms), have an a credit card in your name. You must have a valid driving license from your home country and some firms will only accept you if you also have an international licence. Cost is approx 130 real per day with unlimited mileage. Be advised to choose the higher insurance (for the cost of an extra 20 reals it is well worth it as excess charges can be huge!)
Hope this helps
Bad idea.
Tourist in Brazil should travel for tourist areas.
Recently 2 European tourists rented a car and they went to travel for Brazil, the electronic navigator (GPS) indicated a road mistakenly and the tourists invaded an area unintentionally dominated by drug dealers, the traffickers thought that they were disguised policemen and they shoot against the car, the tourists were not hurt but they suffered a great fright.
It is better you not to drive in Brazil, if you maintains in tourist areas or to walk of bus you will have great, beautiful and safe moments in Brazil.
