Book Cheap National Car Hire Deals in Santa Clara, Lisbon, Portugal

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

Ensure your rental agreement, ID, and insurance details are easily accessible throughout your rental period for quick access if needed.

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

If you plan to drive off-road, confirm with the rental agency whether it's permitted. Not all vehicles are suited for off-road conditions.

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.

Note that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Always verify the age policy when booking.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
