Can I drive in Santa Maria Maior with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
