Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent a car monthly with an international driver’s license?

All major car hire companies in Portugal recognise foreign driving licenses issued by a European Union State. If your driver’s license is issued by a non-EU country or printed in a non-Latin alphabet (Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.), you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Even if you have an IDP, you must also carry your original driver’s license, as you will be required to present both. 

Can someone under 25 rent a car monthly in Portugal?

Most car hire companies operating in Portugal have set 21 as the minimum age for hiring a car. Renters under the age of 25 may be required to pay a Young Driver Surcharge. Review your preferred company’s terms and conditions for more information regarding the same.

What payment methods are accepted for monthly car rentals?

Car rental companies in Portugal typically accept credit cards from major financial institutions, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and UnionPay, for payment and security deposits. Note that the physical credit card in the main driver’s name has to be presented at the time of vehicle pick-up. It is advised to review the supplier-specific terms and conditions, as policies can vary significantly. 

Is there a delivery/collection option available for monthly car rentals in Portugal?

Many car hire companies offer delivery/collection services on request in most destinations in Portugal. You can arrange for your vehicle to be dropped off at major airports, hotels, or downtown, based on availability. This service is available for an additional charge varying from EUR 50 per way to EUR 110 per way, depending on the location.

Can I book a monthly car rental with no deposit?

Unfortunately, you can’t rent a monthly/long term car without a deposit authorization hold on the credit card of the main driver. The deposit held for security purposes is fully refundable upon vehicle return (in its original condition). The deposit for monthly/long term car hire deals, which varies by provider and vehicle category, typically ranges between €300 to €1,500. 

What is the cancellation policy for monthly car rental bookings?

Cancellation is generally free of charge if made at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled pick-up. You can cancel the booking through our website on the ‘Manage Booking’ page or contact our customer support team directly. 

Is insurance included with monthly car rental deals?

As per Portuguese road laws, Third Party Liability (TPL) insurance is mandatory. Suppliers include this coverage automatically in all car hire offers. Other coverage options like collision damage waiver, theft protection, roadside assistance, etc., are optional but, in most cases, are included in the final price. For extra peace of mind, additional insurance coverage can be added to the car hire deal at an extra charge.

Can I hire additional equipment with monthly car hire deals?

Extras such as child seats, GPS, WiFi access, luggage rack, additional drivers, and similar items may be available on request and are not included in the rental price. These extras are payable in the local currency at the counter. Please note that all such charges are subject to local taxes and service fees, as per the supplier’s terms and conditions.

Can I hire an electric vehicle for monthly/long term duration?

Yes, you can rent an electric (EV) car for a month or longer in Portugal. Simply add the pick-up location and dates in the booking widget on our website to view the offers for monthly EV car rentals. 

How much do monthly car rentals in Portugal cost?

The prices for monthly car rentals in Portugal typically vary between €450 and €850 per month, with economy cars starting around €400 and SUVs reaching €900+. Booking for longer periods significantly reduces the daily rate, often dropping to as low as €12–€20 per day. Factors like supplier, pick-up location, seasonality, vehicle category can heavily influence these rates.
