Book Cheap Firefly Car Hire Deals in Estrela, Lisbon, Portugal

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Lisbon, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before you return the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental agency. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can make the process easier.

Prior to booking, check for any current promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early booking discounts.

Some rental companies offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be sure to understand the terms, including how much fuel you need to return the car with and any potential fees for not meeting these conditions.

Research any toll roads on your travel route and understand the payment options. Some rental companies provide toll transponders for convenience.
