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 active during summers, Faro Airport serves the southern region of Algarve.
  • Madeira Funchal Airport: Located on Madeira’s western coast, Funchal Airport connects the island not only to the mainland Portugal, but also to many destinations in Europe, and is served by more than 40 different airlines.
  • By land: If your car provider permits it, it’s possible to 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 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 for good reason — its culture, food, and nightlife won’t let anyone leave disappointed. Make sure to check out landmarks such as The 25th of April Bridge and Belem Tower and consider popular places for day trips like nearby Sintra.
  • Porto. Different in looks and atmosphere from its large southern rival, Lisbon, Porto is just as fascinating. A metropolis of arts, architecture, and cuisine, it is the capital of Northern Portugal. Famous landmarks include the Porto Cathedral, Livraia Lello bookshop, the Museum of the Sacred Art and Archaeology, and even the Port Wine Institute.
  • 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. In addition to natural beauty, the region has fascinating history exemplified by a millennia-old heritage of Moorish and Roman rule of the region. Meanwhile, exploring the roads less travelled will lead you to the mountainous inland parts of the Algarve and traditional spa towns like Monchique.

Most popular hire car

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

Driving licence requirements

  • Portugal recognizes valid foreign driving licences that are written in a Latin alphabet and if you’re visiting for a shorter period than six months.
  • If you’re in Portugal for longer than six months or are living 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 driving licence doesn’t show your photograph, you might be required to have an IDP instead.
  • Even if you have an IDP, you must also carry your original driving licence as you might be required to present both.
  • You must carry your driving licence, 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 car supplier and category, so make sure to check the rental conditions before booking.

Crossing Borders

Portugal has a land 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 Spain are the same as for Portugal. 

Some car hire companies 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 cross a national border during your rental period, make sure to check the terms and conditions before booking a car. Learn more about cross-border rentals on our Help Center. 

Most popular types of hire car

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

Top driving routes

  • Aveiro. A city with a history dating back to pre-Roman times, Aveiro is known for its canals (which, like in Venice, can be explored by a gondola ride), art noveau architecture, and several stunning churches. Located just south of the point where the river of the same name meets the Atlantic Ocean, Aveiro is also a popular destination for water sports.
  • Peneda-Gerês National Park. Located in the far north of the country, in the borderlands with the Spanish region of Galicia, Peneda-Gerês is one of the most beautiful areas in Iberia. Known for its magnificent valleys and pre-Roman dolmens, the region has a great variety of flora and fauna. The drive from Porto, the nearest big city, takes just over an hour.
  • The Serra da Estrela. The highest point on mainland Portugal, ‘the mountain of the star’ is another popular nature destination. A great place for walking, it is also home to the only ski resort in the country. Although located in the relatively less explored inland part of Portugal, the Serra de Estrela is within a two-hour drive of other popular destinations such as the aforementioned Aveiro, as well as the scenic university city of Coimbra and the Christian pilgrimage site of Fatima.

We had a great trip, with some fantastic walks, too many incredible views to mention and many very enjoyable meals. Once you get out of the expensive hotels, Madeira prices are very reasonable. One of our party was elderly, which limited our activities, but if you like outdoor activities, big hills, big views and great food then Madeira is strongly recommended, particularly for a winter break.

Have been to Portugal 10+ times now and have travelled the full length of the Algarve several times. If confident then travel to Monte Clerico via Monchique ,its a lovely drive and nice big beach at the end. Shop in the different supermarkets for prices and visit Silves for the castle and cafes, you can also catch the boat to here. Stick to the N125 if not worried for time

Lisbon is busy like most Cities. Stayed near Sintra which is a lovely place to visit. Decent beaches in the area but a car is a must if you want to explore. If you are visiting Lisbon take the train or Uber wouldn't recommend driving and trying to park.

You realy need a hire car to explore Madeira. Main roads are excellent and no one drives fast. Country roads are bendy but little, if any, traffic.

Didn't had a problem with the service this time. Already booked cars with TURISPRIME 3 times before. To be honest, this was the ony time that I had doubt about the car. Going from Porto to Viseu, I almost felt I needed a push to go up the hills. Never had this problem before and always booked the same type of car. I will book again, as it seems one of the cheepes and reliable car rentals, but I would like to have a Toyota again.

Go for a manual car as the automatics are too expensive. Manual good for the bendy roads. Visit Funchal, do levada walks, climb pico ruivo, visit câmara de lobos and stay along the south coast for the best weather.

The 125 route has improved greatly ovet the years and offers good access to the coastal towns , the A22 offering faster access to tiwns fuethet further apart, at a price. The west coast is magnificenf and well worth the trip, in particular Odiciexe both the town and beaches.

I drove across Algarve- from Faro to Sagres. Carvoeiro was by far my number one spot- picturesque town with great amenities and walking trials. In fact I've extended my stay just so I could stay there a few days longer. Albufeira and Portimao were a bit too touristy and busy for my taste. Although little town just across Portimao- Ferragudo was a pleasant little gem. Lagos and especially Ponta de Pidade is a must- absolutely mesmerising.
