Cheap Enterprise Car Hire in Santarem

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

When hiring a car in Santarem, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Enterprise. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Santarem, we have car hire deals from 6 suppliers. Among them, Enterprise has a rating of 4.1, Alamo has a rating of 4.9, Hertz has a rating of 4.7 and Localiza has a rating of 4.4.

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

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.
