Even you can get a car and cross the border to Brazil from French Guiana, I think you know you can only use this car on Amapá state. I don’t know where are you going, but Amapá state does not have interconnected roads on south due to Amazon river. Take a look on the map.
If are planning to visit other places in Brazil, you can take a flight from Macapá (capital of Amapá state).
Flying into Suriname is much cheaper than flying into Cayenne. The airport taxes in Cayenne are generally sky high. Don’t know where you’re coming from, but going to the US from Paramaribo is half-price compared to Cayenne.
That being said, if you do find a cheaper way to get to Cayenne and then want to cross a border, it’s not a big deal as long as you have the proper paperwork to be in each country. There is a list of rental car agencies at the airport on the site of commerce chamber:
However, you would have to make arrangements to leave the car somewhere in St. Georges or St. Laurent, which could be complicated.
There are also different taxis collectifs that run around FG. You might be able to find info on those on blada.com
Lastly, as of a few months ago, there’s a flight that goes from Cayenne to Parbo.
The official French Guiana tourism website lists a few transport options (including some car rentals) in the different cities and towns and their phone numbers.
If they don’t allow leaving the country then either try hitchhiking, or take a bus to a border town, cross the border and then continue with either bus or a rental car in Brazil.
If this question is still relevant and worth the long distance call, you might ring them up and ask, or send an email.
Don’t forget to report back! 🙂
