Rental car rules in Portugal require drivers to be 18 and older. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental companies impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before booking.

The main requirements are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most 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 rental agency to avoid any issues.
