If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
