How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portugal?
The minimum age is 18. But there are a handful of age-related requirements to bear in mind before you lock in your wheels in Portugal.

The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Portugal?
You’ll generally require a driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so it’s wise to check in advance.

Where can I find a Portugal car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that are found in Portugal. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
