Essential Car Rental Tips for Traveling in Portugal

 

1. Driver's License: Chinese driver's license is valid for 3 months

It is worth mentioning that Chinese driver's licenses are valid in Portugal for a period of 3 months. Car rental companies recommend that all tourists carry a translation of their registered driver's license or an International Driving Permit to prevent misunderstandings due to language barriers.

2. Driver: Must be at least 21 years old and have driving experience

During the car rental process, the driver must provide a valid driver's license, ID card, or passport. To rent a car, the driver must be at least 21 years old and have more than one year of experience driving mini or economy cars. Drivers aged 25 must have three years of driving experience.

3. Payment: Deposits vary by vehicle

Tourists should pay the rental fee at the time of booking. Upon vehicle handover, tourists are also required to pay a deposit, the amount of which varies depending on the vehicle selected by the tourist.

4. Vehicle Handover and Return: Flexible pick-up and drop-off locations available for an additional fee

1. In addition to picking up and returning vehicles at the car rental company's premises, you can also pick up vehicles at Portugal's three main airports—Porto, Lisbon, and Faro. (This service requires an additional fee of 30 Euros)

2. If you wish to leave the car at other parking locations, additional fees will apply. If you wish to pick up the vehicle between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM, an additional fee of 30 Euros will also be charged (as it is outside normal working hours).

3. The Portuguese car rental company Eurorentlei will strictly inspect the vehicle during the handover and collection process. Tourists may also inspect the vehicle provided to them.

4. After the vehicle is handed over and inspected, if any issues (such as collisions or scratches) occur during subsequent use, or if any backup items are missing, and these are not accidents covered by the insurance company, the tourist will be required to pay the corresponding costs.

5. If you wish to extend the rental period, you must contact the car rental company at least 24 hours in advance. The Portuguese car rental company Eurorentlei will make the final decision on the extension. (For tourists who return the vehicle early, Portugal Eurorentlei car rental company will not refund any fees.)
