  • Check out the offers available with Keddy By Europcar, Europcar and Guerin. They're some of the most popular providers in the city.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Cascais car hire policy, whether you go with Keddy By Europcar or any other supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Familiarise yourself with your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Portugal.
