What insurance should I choose for my car rental in São Miguel?

Can I drive in São Miguel with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
