How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portugal?
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.
What do you need to rent a car in Portugal?
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.

Yes. Expedia partners with reputable companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car categories. Check out our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Portugal — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Portugal car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Portugal often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age range. It’d be good to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Portugal?
It’s wise to have collision protection to cover your Portugal rental car against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. 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. Have your plans changed?
