How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Tomé?
São Tomé requires drivers to be 18 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter rental conditions.

While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in São Tomé?
Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a São Tomé car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies operating in São Tomé. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in São Tomé?
Add collision protection while booking your São Tomé car rental with Expedia. This covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can get behind the wheel knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. Simply opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in São Tomé with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Portugal, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many 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: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
