Car Hire Portugal
Terms and Conditions
Price includes 7 days car rental including unlimited mileage, Collision Damage Waiver, Third Party Fire and Theft Insurance, airport charges and local taxes.
There an insurance excess payable in the event of loss or damage to the vehicle which is between Euros 600 and Euros 2500 depending on the size of car.
This excess is taken by credit card imprint at the start of your hire; when the car is returned and inspected the excess is returned to you, assuming there is no damage. Please note, car hire companies do not apportion blame - if you rent one of their cars and it is returned damaged, it is your responsibility. For this reason you must always check over the vehicle when you accept it and ensure that any damage, missing trim etc., is recorded on the hire documents - and you get a copy. This is very important as any damage not so recorded will be deemed to have been caused by you. Your liability however is limited to the insurance excess amount. Note however that the wheels, tyres, glass and locks are not normally covered and in addition lost keys are also chargeable to you as they are specific to the car and expensive and time consuming to replace. This is normal practice for hire companies the world over - even when the small print does not spell it out to you!
The insurance (damage) excess can be waived by paying an additional premium of between Euros 8.50 and Euros 20 per day depending on the vehicle group and is payable locally in advance. This is a useful add on, particularly with the bigger vehicles, which we absolutely recommend.
You may be offered additional Personal Accident Insurance, you are not obliged to take this as normal travel insurance usually covers this, in any event.
Minimum age of drivers is 23 years; drivers aged between 23 and 25 pay a surcharge of Euros 3.50 per day. Clients must hold a current licence which has been valid for at least a year and must produce this at the time of rental.
The quoted price does not include any extras such as additional drivers, child seats, late flight arrival, which are all payable locally. Prices are currently:
Additional drivers Euros 17 each per rental
Child safety seats (from age 1 year) Euros 4.50 per day, maximum Euros 63 per rental
Out of hours delivery/collection (00.00 - 07.00) Euros 15 per rentalThe vehicle is delivered with a full tank of petrol. You must return the car full; in the event that the car is not full, they will charge you for the fuel used at a rate higher than you would have paid.
Vehicles may be driven out of Portugal but there is an additional charge for the necessary green Card which is Euros 75 per rental.
