Useful Tips for your Car Rental in Portugal
Book Before You Travel:
Secure the best rate by booking your car in advance. Prices are generally better if you book before you arrive in Lisbon. Paying in advance will not only allow you to benefit from discounts but also reduce the cost of Collision Damage Insurance.
Request a toll Transponder:
If you want to use motorways, ask for a Via Verde transponder. Some motorways in Portugal are fully electronic and using a transponder will allow you to pay tolls more easily and efficiently. The charges will be deducted from your credit card when you return the car.
Examine the vehicle when you pick it up:
Before you leave, examine the vehicle thoroughly. Report any damage, including minor scratches, on the rental agreement. Take photographs to document the condition of the car, from the wheels to the odometer.
Avoid driving in Lisbon:
Avoid city traffic and rush hours, especially between 7am and 9.30am and 4.30pm and 7pm. In the city centre, don’t be surprised if you find yourself driving alongside a bus on one side and a tram on the other and expect a slow pace.
Parking in Lisbon can be a challenge, especially in the city centre. Some hotels and apartments don’t provide parking facilities, so you’ll have to find your own. Be careful where you park, as many are reserved for residents or require the use of a parking meter. Check the signs! We recommend looking for underground garages, where you only pay when you take your car out, for greater convenience and security.
Fuel and mileage policy:
Most car rental companies in Lisbon have a policy where the car is provided with a full tank of gas and is expected to be returned with a full tank. This will avoid any surprises at the end of the rental. Also, make sure to check for mileage limits to ensure that there are no restrictions on your trip.
Credit Card Deposit:
Be prepared to provide your credit card details as a deposit. Know the amount in advance and make sure you have sufficient funds.
Valid Driving License:
If you are a non-EU citizen who wants to drive in Portugal, you don’t need an International Driver’s Permit if you have an English or Portuguese license. However, if you plan to drive to other European countries like Spain, it’s recommended that you get an International Driver’s Permit. This is because some countries require it by law. The cost of an International Driver’s Permit is only 49 USD and it’s valid for one year. You can get yours here.
Take a day trip:
With a car you can combine a holiday in the historic city of Lisbon with day trips to some of Portugal’s most exciting sights, from beaches and other bustling cities to stunning national parks. Having your own wheels gives you the freedom to plan your own itinerary, check out our day trip recommendations to get the most out of your journey in Portugal.
