10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Vilamoura

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, use Expedia’s filters to discover the perfect match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well before your trip. Booking early often leads to lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically cost less to rent and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you'll need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This option is generally the best choice. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind should something unforeseen occur during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning a lengthy road trip, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver’s license is necessary to rent a car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Vilamoura?
Vilamoura rules state drivers must be at least 18 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Vilamoura?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Vilamoura?

Some businesses will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Vilamoura?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a fantastic idea for your upcoming Vilamoura vacation. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Vilamoura with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to apply for 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 need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 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 go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
