One-way Car Rentals in Portugal

Here are the most popular one-way rental options for pickup in Portugal and drop off in another country:

  • From Portugal to Spain - 336 offers from $51.84 per day
  • From Portugal to Germany - 48 offers from $160.72 per day

Top ways to enter Portugal

  • Lisbon Airport: Portugal’s largest airport serves flights to and from nearly all European countries, as well as destinations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
  • Porto Airport: Large, modern, and well-connected, Porto Airport is popular with low-cost carriers like easyJet and Ryanair. 
  • Faro Airport: Well-connected to the rest of Europe and especially busy during the summer, Faro Airport serves the southern region of the Algarve.
  • Madeira Funchal Airport: Located on Madeira’s western coast, Funchal Airport connects the island to mainland Portugal as well as many destinations in Europe and is served by more than 40 different airlines.
  • By land: If your rental supplier permits it, you can rent a car in a neighboring country and then drive to Portugal. Some large international airports near Portugal are Malaga Airport, Seville Airport, and Madrid Airport, which are all in Spain.

Top cities and places to visit

  • Lisbon: Portugal’s capital is often mentioned as one of the most interesting cities in Europe, and that’s for a good reason - its culture, food, and nightlife won’t let anyone leave disappointed.
  • Porto and the North: Different in looks and atmosphere from its large southern rival, Lisbon, Porto is just as fascinating. A metropolis of arts and architecture, it is the capital of Northern Portugal, a region worth exploring in its own right.
  • Algarve: Portugal’s southernmost region is famous for its beaches, as well as charming little towns like Albufeira, Lagos, and Sagres on the Atlantic Coast. Traveling the roads less traveled that lead inland and higher up into the mountains to towns like Monchique can be just as rewarding. 
  • Sintra: Just a scenic 30 minutes drive away from Lisbon, the whole town of Sintra and its surrounding nature have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main attractions include Sintra National Palace and the Moorish Castle, as well as other monuments of architecture.
  • Aveiro: A city dating back to pre-Roman times, Aveiro is known for its canals (and like Venice, gondolas traveling through them), art noveau architecture, and stunning cathedrals. 

Most popular rental car

The most popular rental car in Portugal is the VW Polo, but travelers also tend to pick the Ford Fiesta and the Fiat 500.

Driver's license requirements

  • Portugal recognizes valid foreign driver’s licenses that are written in a Latin alphabet for visits shorter than six months.
  • If you’re in Portugal for longer than six months or live there permanently, the law requires you to obtain a Portuguese driver’s license.
  • If your driver’s license is printed in a non-Latin alphabet (Cyrillic, Arabic, etc.), you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP).
  • Similarly, if your driver’s license doesn’t show your photograph, you may also be required to have an IDP.
  • Even if you have an IDP, you must also carry your original driver’s license as you might be required to present both.
  • You must carry your driver’s license, not a copy, with you at all times. 
  • You need to have had your driver’s license for at least two years.
  • Some rental car suppliers charge a young driver fee for drivers between the ages of 22 and 25 and a senior driver fee for drivers over the age of 65.
  • There may be additional requirements depending on the rental supplier and car category, so make sure to check the rental conditions before booking.

Crossing Borders

Portugal shares a border with only one other country, Spain. Like Portugal, Spain is a member of the European Union (EU) and the Schengen Area, meaning that the entry requirements for both countries are the same. 

Some rental suppliers allow you to cross national borders and even drop off your car in a different country, while others don’t. If you’d like to travel to Spain in your rental car, make sure to check the rental conditions before booking. Learn more about cross-border rentals on our Help Center. 

 

Most popular types of rental car

The most popular rental car type in Portugal is an Economy, followed by Compact and Mini.

Top driving routes

  • Alentejo. Located between two of Portugal’s main tourist draws, Lisbon and the Algarve, the agricultural region of Alentejo is a lovely place to visit. Known for its bucolic landscapes, vineyards and wild beaches, this is the right place to enjoy a less crowded, more slower-paced Portugal.
  • Peneda-Gerês National Park. Located in the far northern corner of Portugal, Gerês, as it is often called by locals, is the largest protected nature area in the country. There’s plenty of historic attractions inside the park, not least bridges built by the Romans and megalithic pre-Roman tombs, but the main attraction of this place is its natural beauty. The forests, mountains, and river valleys are inhabited by fauna such as Garrano wild horses, golden eagles, and emerald lizards. The trip from Porto takes only about 1 hour and 15 minutes by car.
  • Spain. Located just over the border is one of Europe’s largest and most interesting countries. A mecca of cuisine, culture, and art, Spain also has plenty to offer in terms of natural riches and fun road trips. Traveling by car between Porto and Galicia, Algarve and Andalusia, or even Lisbon and Madrid is quite common, but make sure to ask your rental supplier in advance if you are permitted to cross the border in your rental car.

Pico Ruivo and the toboggans in Monte were the highlights of the trip. For car hire on Madeira, I'd recommend getting the smallest car for your needs as the roads are narrow and winding and, even in November parking was busy in popular spots (so you can take advantage of small spaces). We had a Citroën C3 aircross which was more than big enough for 2 people, a medium-to-large (about 20-25kg size) suitcase plus 2 10kg carry on bags and some shopping in the boot - it could probably have accommodated another large suitcase; I couldn't say about more people as I didn't try the rear seats, but for 2 people I would probably plump for a Fiat Panda or similar size if visiting as a couple again.

I am mixed on this rental experience. The car was great as (for the most part) was the service. But on my return, the inspector found a scratch under the front bumper of the car that was impossible to see without getting down on your knees and which I don't think I caused. Had the initial inspection been half as thorough as the return inspection then it might well have found this scratch. So what seemed like a reasonable deal became a bit of a rip-off.

The transportation options were many and easily used whereas driving around and parking seemed like they would have been a challenge. We also visited Cascais, Obidos, Nazare, Monsanto, Castelo Branco, and Sintra. All of them were amazing. For Cascais, I might choose something closer to Praia do Guincho to escape the crowds, but we were there at the height of tourist season so it might not always be so busy.

The coast of the south of Portugal is full of foreigners from other countries and places but there are many local folks too and a long and interesting history of the area.

Our Seat Arona was excellent in size and performance, tailor-made for the city driving and parking as well as reasonably comfortable for long-distance trips. The average mileage was very decent (about 5.5 l/100 KM, or 40 to 45 mpg (US)). And the car could easily accommodate all of our baggage (one big and two carry-on suitcases) and still have interior room for five. We used the car in Lisbon and surroundings (Sintra, Cascais, Azentão), all of which are worth a visit. We then drove to Évora and Beja, which are not always on the destination list of many travelers, but should be - they have great charm and rich history. Algarve coast and southern Spain (Seville) are certainly a "must-see" areas for anyone who is visiting Portugal and Spain. Although there is train service in Portugal between major cities, car is still the most efficient way to get around.

It can be difficult to drive in Lisbon with narrow very steep slopes up and down and very sharp turns. Make sure you are very comfortable driving on these types of road if you choose a standard transmission. Also, parking can be complicated. Once I finally found a spot I parked the car and use the app ePark (approx 10 EUR/day) to street park, then walked or took an Uber. The benefit of the rental car was that I could travel and see other cities such as Sintra which was amazing with the Pena Palace, and then go south to see the incredible beaches in Lagos.

Rent a car being in the UK. Keep all papers with you. Apply for good credit card. Go small: small compact car is enough. Save money and eat lovely local food. Use even old satellite navigation: Roaming, battery charge, etc can be a challenge abroad.

It was much cheaper to hire a car for the 5 days than get a shuttle to our hotel. And it gave us alot more freedom, so seen more of the stunning country.

It is worth to rent a car in the central Portugal instead of using their very expensive buses with no good connections between the places.

We would recommend a car for seeing Portugal for sure. Get a via verde pass as well for sure. Don’t drive inside Lisbon and Porto.

Lisbon is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has been designed long, long time ago and no petrol cars were created. Personally, I hate traffic, bad driving and impatient drivers. Please try to use public transport within Lisbon if possible. Their metro is old but is fast and connects easily most of the areas where you wanna go. In general Portugal is good due to good food, is cheaper if compared to the rest of Europe and people are friendly.

Madeira is great to visit by car. It gives you flexibility and the possibility to reach more remote places. Maybe I would recommend a somewhat more powerfull engine to climb the quite steep hils/mountains. I had a 1 liter petrol car and had to make quite some distance in first gear and watch out not to be below 2000 rpm.

Make sure the car you rent is powerful with a good sized engine as there are some VERY steep hills! Air conditioning was a bonus but not absolutely necessary as it doesn't get as hot as other drier countries/islands.

We know Portugal quite well and liked the Fiat Panda very much. Overall, other than the problems with pick-up and delivery, the car was good.

First time to Portugal we didn't have GPS so we should have invested in a detailed map of the Algarve.....we were lost a few times but ended up in some nice places we might have never seen!

Driving in big cities like Lisbon and Porto is very stressful, also it's not really necessary at all. I suggest picking up the car only if you plan to leave the city.

Make sure that you are only renting a car for travel to places outside of Lisbon; the city itself is less stressful and more accessible without a car (for example, in Alfama, which should not be missed.)
