Bravacar at Lisbon Airport

Pros: Quick and cheap

Cons: Car was a mess, high deposit

Pros: he staff were friendly and welcoming.

Cons: he car was in terrible condition — very old and literally falling apart. The check engine light was on the whole time. The key didn't work to lock the doors (had to leave it unlocked sometimes). The seats were heavily burned with cigarette holes and smelled of smoke. The tires were completely worn out and bald — felt unsafe to drive. Worst of all: they still haven't returned the deposit after more than 20 days (today is March 4, 2026, and I dropped off the car weeks ago). Other rental companies

Cons: The car had a few scratches

Pros: The staff was friendly, but the boss/manager is not to trust.

Cons: Misdiagnosis of error in the car and as a result demanding money for a service that turned out to be obsolete. Attempt to convince me of the diagnosis being correct (which it was obviously not). Aggressive communication of the boss/manager.

Pros: Car hire was cheaper than going on the bus

Pros: The car was a bit older and in rough shape.

Pros: 5 min into the trip the engine broke down. It was an awful experience. I had to get a new rental from a different company after spending a whole day dealing with tows as I did not feel safe to rent with the same company again.

Cons: I was unsafe with the car 5 min into the trip and they were not helpful or apologetic whatsoever.

Pros: value or money

Cons: pickup was slow

Pros: Helpful staff

Cons: Limited capacity

Pros: The car should have been scrapped!!! Full of damage!! Repairs to the car were so bad the bumper kept coming off, the back door would not close!! This car sould be scrapped

Pros: We never received our rental car, we lost all our money and we received fine for unpaid toll road costs

Cons: They did not help us at all even when they discovered the misunderstanding of pickup moment our car was away, they rented it to someone else

Cons: Sirs, Concerning Bravacar. The rental location at Rue Martires De Timor 2, 2685-311 28, Rue Figo Maduro, Lisbon should be reported for renting unsafe cars and questionable practices. I scheduled a compact car and was rented a premium vehicle costing more without being informed at the time as to what the additional cost. I only discovered this today while trying to make a review on site. They also presented me with an insurance rate that was higher than stated on the contract, showing me a piece

Pros: The agent was friendly and solving

Cons: I was charged 50 dollars for 2 tolls that costed 0.35 euros

Cons: Did not have the class of car I ordered. And gave me a much lesser class instead.

Pros: The car was nice and clean on the inside.

Cons: Trying to find our shuttle was not easy. Upon pickup of the car I was very disappointed with the state of the car on the outside. It was all scratched and dented. It was delivered to me with an empty tank of fuel. I had to drive around trying to find a station to fuel up. The person was not able to give me any information on where to drop off the car in Porto. I will not be using Bravacar again.

Pros: The service was great

Pros: All employees were very courteous & helpful.

Cons: Received original car with maintenance light on, was told that it was ok to drive, but 5 days later dash lit up with different lights & was told over the phone to drive it back & pick up another car. After driving 5 hours, very slowly, made it back & had another car waiting. Workers were very professional & apologetic.

Pros: The service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Agilidade.

Cons: O carro foi entregue sujo, com pneu danificado e com problema na bateria.

Pros: We had a first car with mechanical problems (warning lights, problems with engine compression). The car was changed for another one without too much fuss. Be aware: the prices are low because these are somewhat worn cars (over 100000 km on the odometer and many dents and scratches). But it gets you to where you need to go at a good price point. We had good service from the rental agents.

Pros: Easy and fast pick up and drop off of the car.

Cons: No problem with the car at all but the overall state was not nice. The good thing is that didn't oblige us to recheck the car during the drop off.

Pros: We arrived a few hours later. We couldn't get hold of the rental company. Due to non working hours we decided to collect car the next day. When we arrived next day to the rental office - we been told that out booking is cancelled and refund not issued. The staff wasn't friendly and helpful at all.

Cons: Nothing. Terrible experience

Pros: Customer Service is very good. Unfortunately they gave me car very very bad. Clutch wss super hard. Gearbox stiff, car make crazy noise. Light on dashboard, no phone charger, no Bluetooth music. Absolutely ridiculous car. Didn't enjoy at all.

Cons: Thr guy pick me up from airport. Very nice gentleman. I liked his service.

Pros: They stole $$300 out of our wallet left on the counter , when asked about it they said someone must’ve took it . That’s it, oh well your out $300! Thieves with no accountability

Cons: I would stick with the cars available at the airport this one is a mile or 2 away and you have to meet them after calling . It’s not convenient at all

Pros: Staff is very friendly.

Cons: The only car available for me was all beaten up, with a broken and loose bumper, cracks in the doors and large stains all over the seats.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Unfriendly and not empathic

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Unsafe, filthy cars.

Cons: They did not have the size of car that I had booked. We did not stay with them and we want our deposit back. Thank you.

Pros: They drove us to the airport, although did not help with the bags.

Cons: Agents are not interested, not courteous , not honest, wanted to give us a total junk car with dents and bumper hanging off etc...with an empty gas tank. They did not tell us or provide us with the highway pass even after requesting this so we ended up paying a large fine for the toll route. Should of been 22 Euro but we were fined 65 Euro. We should get a refund of 43 Euro. Also upon leaving a warning sound and red wrench appeared on my dash. I was told there was nothing to worry about. Help!

Pros: Had no automatic car when I got to bravo

Cons: No automatic car so did not rent

Pros: none

Cons: Not present at the our arrival. we had to call them took @15 mints/ longer to pick us up. Vehicle the passenger side seat was all stained , deiver's side seat was ripped along the seem, the storage compartment between the seats dirty. Couple of days after driving vehicle a squeequing noise started on and off. This noise progressed more constant by the last week. Day of depart while driving on hyway gear jumped,loud noise only able to use 1-4 gear. called emg.#provided no answer.

Pros: Friendly man

Cons: Car could have been in better condition

Pros: The client service was good

Cons: The car had no AC working and the staff did not seem to know that 😔

Cons: At first they tried to give me the car after the accident. the other was a little better but the windshield washer and mirror adjustment did not work. the staff wasn’t friendly

Pros: Easy to deal with

Cons: Dated cars.

Pros: Quick to get the car

Cons: They make me pay an additional fee of £32 to drop the car at 4am??? Very bad!!!

Pros: Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The car also worked very well for us.

Cons: The pickup process, from the airport until leaving with the car, took a very long time. Returning the car was better, but still quite slow.

Pros: Cost

Cons: Old car, location and not having a full tank in the begining

Pros: Easy return

Cons: The pick up at the airport. The was no one there and I had to use a phone to call them to pick me up. At the pick up only the driver can go to bravacar location to pick up the car and the second person has to wait at the airport. The conditions of the car wasn't good and not properly clean.

Pros: nothing

Cons: the car was with suspension problems, broken things in the interior and a different pressure in each tire. we warned the person in the desk we were in for a long travel and they told us that the car was all reviewed and ok. The car was a fiat panda from 2015, we were informed that they don't even have any Chevrolet. the car documents weren't in order (we just noticed that on the way back). the guy pushed us to the car and to leave as soon as possible after charging extra 50€ for an insurance.

Pros: Nothing to like. Bad attitude or service representative. I had to replace the wiper blades. Clearly they don't check their vehicles. I would like to corresponde with Bravacar directors to sort out their staff attitude.

Cons: Car was filthy dirty. Back tyres were not roadworthy. Tread was smooth and Tyre wall was brittle ( cracked).I indicated to the representative and their workshop manager, and they both responded with attitude that it was fine. I have pics as evidence. 30 min after I left, it started raining. When I turned on the wiper blades, I noticed it wasnt wiping clean. The wipers were broken. I have pics of them completely rusted. Their attitude to get them replaced was just as bad.

Pros: The wheels in front was work up and dangerous to drive in.

Pros: The personnel in the office were very pleasant and helpful.

Cons: The car really was in terrible condition

Cons: La voiture n'était pas très propre et présentait de nombreux défauts : remise avec le tiers du plein d'essence (impossible à rendre quasi à l'identique), pare-soleil côté conducteur cassé, voyant jaune "attention" s'allumant à chaque trajet (l'agent qui a récupéré la voiture n'a pas pris en compte notre remarque), enjoliveur manquant, etc.

Cons: When we arrived we had to wait a very long time for the shuttle driver to pick us up. When he arrived he was extremely rude and refused to take more than just one rental driver to the pick up location. He told us if we didn’t like it we could rent somewhere else. As a result we only got one driver on the agreement even though we had requested two drivers on the agreement. His terrible attitude and service resulting in us only having one driver really messed up a lot of plans we had for the week.

Pros: Not a lot

Cons: As above. Very downmarket vehicle

Pros: I had A bad experience with this rental

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Initial agent quite rude and did not come when and where he was supposed to. Ended up changing cars twice due to not operating properly. All three cars were FILTHY and not maintained well (a/c did not operate, cracks in windshields, warning lights on, 360 degree body damage - and none of them had ever been cleaned.)

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The car had mechanical issues and when notified about the issue was told we either needed to drive 45 minutes each way and take time away from our vacation or deal with it. The brakes were down to metal on metal and were grinding.

Pros: I was given a number of cars to pick.

Cons: Not being at the Air Port to meet us and having to take out other insurance with Bravacar I had other insurance which I had payed for.

Pros: Friendly staff - Hugo & rest of staff were very helpful and gave us info on toll roads (we didn't use these).

Pros: Close to the airport

Cons: Very high mileage and a few things not working

Pros: The car was in technical good condition.

Cons: Unfortunately not cleaned very well. After lowering the back seat there was some fungus visible. Because of the heat it disappeared quickly. Bravacars' office is situated in the car-rental district next to the airport. The office itself is not the most welcoming place, it looks like they reopened an office which was closed for several years.

Pros: Great stuff

Cons: Condition of vehicle. Lots of damage and engine made strange sounds

Pros: They were very kind and on time

Pros: Kindness, efficiency, availability

Cons: Car was different from the booked one

Pros: good value,

Cons: unable to find reservation even with confirmation number

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything. The car and the service was the worse. The car was filthy. Passenger windshield wiper was falling off. Only had one headlight working. There was no antenna which I had to get on my own. Cigarette lighter did not work so I can use the charger to charge my phone for GPS had to get a fuse to fix that myself. I called them and complained about the issues with the car and they said they can’t do anything about it until I come back. I returned a car a day early they refused to refund

Pros: As mentioned previously, hassle free.

Cons: no complaints

Pros: Upgraded our car.

Cons: See above. Car was dirty in the trunk. Popcorn or something similiar.⁶

Pros: Good and nice agents. had a problem with a.c.. they wrote me in whatsapp where to fix it and paid me the amount I paid me back cash , the amount I paid the garage, when I returned the car.

Cons: Old cars, all scrached and old tires. Had to call them in order to have a shattle. We were 5 , they didn,t have big cars so they took us in 2 shuttels.

Pros: Once we found it, efficient.

Cons: Could of given us more info, for example about tool highways in Portugal

Cons: The cleanliness was very poor. We had to clean the car ourselves as it was philthy. The engine management light come on after driving for about 10 miles from the rent a car. I call them and was told that they wouldn't be able to do anything unless there was a mechanical failure. So for the all length of our rental we had to drive the car with an engine fault light on concerned with the safety of the car and if the car was going to breakdown at any point. Scratches and scuffs on every panel the c

Pros: Friendly staff.

Cons: Delay in getting our car. They did loan us a car for a few hours . We were able to tour Lisbon.

Pros: They responded quickly to my WhatsApp when I was ready for pick up at the airport. Upon return the man helped me figure out which bus to take back to my hotel and drove me to the right bus stop.

Cons: Advertised Amex accepted but then didn't want to accept when I arrived.

Pros: the pick-up and drop off service was quite good and I would keep using Bravacar services if the cars they rent did not have problems of if they proposed to replace cars with problems in a efficient way. which is not the case

Cons: The car they gave us was quite old and started having the following errors after ~230km: Engine Fault: Repair needed + Service +Starting prevented in 1000 Km + UREA Emmissions control fault. They gave us the instructions to add AdBlue which did not solve the problem and refused to change the car until it was completely useless. We have rented the car for 1month and kept it parked until the day we had to drive to the airport just to be sure we would arrive there.

Pros: The service was fine. The car was abused and not restored to a reasonable condition, broken mirror, worn tires, interior stains. Fortunately it ran fine.

Cons: The people were very helpful

Cons: car was old, gear lever sometimes slipped out

Pros: Nice people

Cons: N/a

Pros: They were very helpful and efficient with getting us our car and getting us on our way quickly.

Cons: We had trouble finding the pickup location in the airport. So better signage would be helpful.

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Cars they rent are not safe to be on the road

Pros: No customer service, no phone lines, email was answered 18 days later We were left stranded at Faro airport Lost our deposite money No One helpful The company in Faro has gone bust! Absolute joke of a service

Pros: The Best

Pros: Amazing

Cons: Nothing to say

Pros: Rápido atendimento e eficaz na recolha e entrega. Não foi necessário alugar via-verde, nem insistiram com seguros ou preços adicionais.

Cons: Pneus em más condições; furo no pneu. Limpa pára-brisas em péssimas condições (má visibilidade com chuva).

Pros: Great service. Fast, easy and nobody tried to upsell me anything.

Pros: Easy, smooth and helpful.

Cons: Just a bit late and not clear where they pick you up, at the airport. Also at drop off, had to wait until they showed up to open office, during their open ours.

Pros: nothing

Cons: the car was about 8 years old ,the front tyres were illegal by UK standards ,wipers did not clear the rain ,as soon as we came to a hill the clutch would start slipping so lost power on all hills, the car an old micra was filthy inside and out and full of scratches . it ruined our holiday as we did not have any confidence in using the car. the Bravacar staff said they did not understand.

Pros: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Cons: The service was terrible not even a smile or a how are you.The car even worse at first they didn’t give the right call of car then the gave me a beat up car scratch’s everywhere,bald tires and dents and much more I will never rent with them again

Pros: Very professional, plus it was very easy and straight forward leasing with them, no crap of trying to get additional fees, as some others I've rented in the past.

Cons: Nothing to say!

Pros: They were friendly

Cons: The car was dirty, in poor mechanical condition (warning lights on and car in limp mode). We were waiting for 90 mins to get transferred from airport to rental place and another 90 trying to hire the car.

Pros: nothing

Cons: bad service. they gave us a bad car with engine problems and when we returned they gave us a car with brakes problems. very unprofessional service

Pros: Nice staff.

Cons: The booking voucher advises that rep will be waiting in the arrivals hall of Lisbon airport - No - we telephoned them after 20 mins of searching and then they came and picked us up.

Cons: The air condition was broken..

Pros: - price included all insurances - shuttle from airport - great little car

Cons: - ambiguous about where to meet rep. in airport - complicated to ask questions to Bravacar---had to go through DiscoverCarHire, although they were prompt to answer email - We don't use a cell phone. That might have made things easier. - drop off location was difficult to find, but now we know for another time

Pros: Efficiency and speed.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Everything was fine except maybe right at the start - the part where we had to phone to arrange for the 'shuttle' to pick us up. We looked for Brava Rep every where before another Car Rental Agent said we had to phone. AS our SIM was for an Asian country had to rush to buy a local SIM etc. Could be made more clear that a phone call has to be made for the Shuttle pick up. Chap who pick us up appeared to be pretty 'taciturn' - but in fact turned out to be a really nice guy with lots of advice etc.

Pros: They picked us up from the airport exactly on time and when we returned the car, offered to drive us to the hotel we were staying at before our flight the next day. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Pros: Good deal. Decent car (minor issues with trunk not closing).

Cons: First they wanted to give me a different type of car than I booked. I had to insist to get the right car.

Cons: Old car. Very dirty with squeaking brakes and a faulty stop bulb. No power to the engine over 75000 kilometres on the clock

Pros: Not much really.

Cons: Car tyres were slick completely worn, dangerous to drive. Had to go on the following day and get them changed as I hadn't noticed when they handed over the car to me. I have photos and video to prove.

Cons: YOU DON'T HAVE A RENTAL OFFICE AT THE FARO, PORTUGAL AIRPORT, SO I HAD TO MEET YOUR REP. AT A GAS STATION IN ORDER TO EXTEND MY 30 RENTAL TO A 60 RENTAL....MYSTERIOUS.

Pros: fast service

Cons: nothing

Pros: They did not care about any damage to the car.

Cons: Understaffed, hard to get in contact with, the wait at the airport for shuttle, the lack of newness and cleanliness of the car, the AC didn't work at all on our first car or properly on the second replacement car. I will go with larger name brands in the future.

Cons: I didn't like that they couldn't bring all the pessengers to the rental agency and that they had to wait at the airport

Pros: 1. no up-selling and no pushiness from the agent - overall they appeared quite efficient at pick-up and drop-off 2. pick up of the car as per previously agreed terms at time of order/pre-booking/deposit payment 3. the exact car that was ordered, was actually the car that was delivered

Cons: 1. the sketchy map describing the location of the rental office which caused quite a bit of stress at the end 2. very poor condition/state of maintenance of the car - the brakes in particular and the light suggesting a problem with the brakes kept lighting up frequently. we had to add break fluid which only partially alleviated situation, also some light bulbs were burned out - outside and also inside
