$26 Car Rental Alentejo

Alentejo is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Organize a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are a few ideas:

• Make your way to Braga for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Around 90 miles from Alentejo, it has loads of amazing attractions like Bom Jesus do Monte.
• Your next pit stop? Consider Coimbra, which is around 35 miles away. Portugal dos Pequenitos is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
• Spend time in nature and inhale the fresh air at Guincho Beach. It's 140 miles from Alentejo.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
