Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Portugal car reservation?
We get that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why many rentals give a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours prior to pick-up. It’s a good idea to read over the hire agreement though because there are some exclusions. If you can’t find the answer there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Portugal?
Compact, mid-size or full-size… Grab the keys to whatever you prefer! Economy is the top rental vehicle category in Portugal. Zippy, fuel-efficient and a snap to park, these wheels make cruising bustling city streets effortless. Maybe the best part? Your wallet will love them. That means you’ll have more money to splash on other things, like touring as much of this destination as you can.
How do I find the best car hire deals in Portugal with Expedia?
It’s easy to score the best deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred ride, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off points, and compare offers from trusted brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Portugal car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portugal?
Portugal requires drivers to be 18 and above before they can hire a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and stricter hire conditions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal hire car rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Portugal?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pick-up, check with your hire supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Portugal?
Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying put in Portugal or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term hire at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Portugal hire car if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Portugal rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional fees. It’s better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each car hire company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
