Car for hire

    In order to rent a car in Portugal the conditions are that you are 21 years of age and have held your license for minimum of one year; drivers under the age of 25 may incur a surcharge fee and seatbelts are compulsory. The cheapest rates are usually found with the large, multinational companies:

Local rental agencies are found in all major towns, cities and at the airports of Lisbon, Porto and Faro. Local rates start at €30-50 a day with unlimited theft cover and collision damage waivers. Collision insurance is critical if you chose to rent a car as you’ll be liable for any costs should the car be damaged in any way – even minor scratches. Ensure that you look the car over and that any visible marks you see are duly noted on the rental sheet before you sign. Alternatively you can avoid all excess charges in the event of the car being damage, by taking out an annual insurance policy with www.Insurance4carhire.com; this policy will also cover windscreen and tyre damage.
