Requirements for Renting a Car in Portugal

To hire a car, every renter must meet the following prerequisites set by the supplier:

The minimum and maximum ages to rent a car are generally 21 and 75 years. Additionally, a young/senior driver surcharge will be applied to drivers below or over the specified age limit by the supplier. 

Payment Method

A valid Visa, MasterCard, or American Express credit card in the primary driver’s name is required by rental companies for holding security deposit, which is refundable upon vehicle return.

Proof of Identity

During vehicle collection, companies often require a valid ID (for domestic renters) or a passport (for foreign nationals) to verify the booking at the rental desk as part of the standard industry process.

A full driver’s licence held for at least 1 year (with no major endorsements) is required during pickup. An International Driving Permit (IDP) will also be required for non-EU license holders.
