How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rates?
Rates requires drivers to be 18 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Rates?
Most rental companies will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Where can I find a Rates car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Rates, we recommend reading the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Rates?
It's a good idea to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Rates car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism.

Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and no deductible should you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in Rates with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. 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 need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
