When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Some rentals have mileage limits, while others provide unlimited mileage. Review these policies carefully to avoid unexpected charges.

Select a pickup spot that is easy for you to reach. Many rental companies offer locations within airports for quick access, while others may require a shuttle.

Before leaving the rental lot, check if the vehicle has essential emergency supplies, such as a spare tire, jack, and first aid kit.

Most car rental companies will ask for a credit card deposit, which is usually held temporarily. Inquire about the specific deposit amount and the process for releasing it once the rental is complete.

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.

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 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
