10 tips to save on your Cortesia car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the perfect vehicle for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are likely to secure more competitive rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come with lower rental costs and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a favorable balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental options require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional fees. This is usually the most advantageous choice. Other options may include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling, which are acceptable as well—just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Renting a car from an airport often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience might justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's easy to add rental insurance when making reservations through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek out rental options that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cortesia?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24/7 emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental desk to insure your precious ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Cortesia ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Cortesia with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
