Europcar, Keddy By Europcar and Abbycar are some of the most reliable providers in the city. Use them as a starting point to compare offers.
Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Porches car hire policy, whether with Europcar or a different supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.
Booking a one-way car hire can be the key to cheaper deals. Simply check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers often have to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can lock in some excellent one-way prices on a car for rent in Porches.

Good to know
You usually have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in Portugal. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be ready for a few added rules or costs. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.
Travelling with kids? Car seat laws vary by location, and the best setup may depend on their weight, age and height. Check if you need to add one to your Porches car rental booking.
Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) and another form of photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.
If you haven't driven before in Portugal, remember that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Portugal is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Pay with your card when it's possible, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
