Good to know

  • You typically have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in Portugal. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some added charges or limits. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.

  • If you've got the kids in tow, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Olhão car rental booking. Whether required by local laws or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • Come prepared to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Also bring a credit card with enough available balance to cover the deposit. If there's anything extra, it'll be listed in your booking.

  • Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Set up your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Portugal.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • In Portugal, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.05%. If you intend to drink, pass the keys to someone else or use public transport instead.

  • Aim 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.
