KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Lisbon
- Want the freedom of having your own car while touring Lisbon? If flying into Lisbon International Airport, you’ll find it very easy to rent a car. There are several rental car places located right inside the airport including well-known companies like Hertz, Avis, and Budget. For added convenience, the car rental desks are close to the baggage claim area.
- After touring the city of Lisbon, you’ll definitely want to take a scenic drive along the coast. On the ride you can take in picturesque views of the water and breathtaking landscapes. If going south to Faro, you can stop at one of a few blue flag beaches for swimming, biking, hiking, or just sunbathing. You’ll also be able to experience a variety of seafood dishes at local restaurants in Sintra or Porto Covo.
- In Lisbon there are many toll roads which can be inconvenient for drivers not familiar with the city. Plan out your route beforehand and talk with your rental car agent about whether you will need to pay tolls. If you will, you might want to consider pre-paying tolls to avoid unnecessary credit card charges.
- Most cars in Portugal have manual transmission; therefore, this is what most rental car companies have in stock. So, if you want an automatic, you’ll want to book your rental car far in advance. Note that even if you drive a manual car at home, Lisbon can be a really hilly city with lots of twists and turns. Consequently, you might feel more comfortable with an automatic transmission. When booking your car, you’ll also want to note that renting an automatic car will cost slightly more than a car with a manual transmission.

- Book your rental car in Lisbon at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Cons:
We were very disappointed that some crucial information is not shared with the customers. We were not informed that every kilometre has an additional fee. We were renting a car just for one day and the overall price ended up being twice as much from what was promised on the day we picked up the car.6.8 Okay
May 2019
Pros:
Clean small car.Cons:
The staff seemed annoyed when asked to assist on driving the car from its parked location in the garage which seems obstructed by another rental vehicle. Car was an automatic, but it was not explained that the car can also be placed in a manual mode. In the USA a car is either one or the other. Ok4.0 Mediocre

At the pick up station they didn't check the car for damage. The place was dark and I didn't realize that it had a huge scratch. I had a hard time explaining the whole situation at the drop off location and had a lot of stress on my first vacation day due to that.10.0 Wonderful

There was a 2+ hour line to pick-up my pre-booked car. Unacceptable. I ended up going to Hertz.2.8 Poor
Aug 2019
Pros:
I waited 2 hours at the counter waiting for my turn to process my previously made reservation and pick up my car until I finally could not wait any longer (hungry, thirsty, and tired after a long flight) and had to call a relative to pick me up at the airport.Cons:
More staff, better customer service, at least a waiting lounge with snacks and water. Or get out of the business and do something else.7.2 Good
Jun 2019
Pros:
Staff was great. Difficult to find drop off, as the GPS sent me to a different place. After going around in a circle twice, finally just drove to the terminal and looked for a "rental car" sign. Suggest that all rented GPS have the proper drop off point in the future.Cons:
The van advertised said it was big enough for 7 people and their luggage. The van at pickup was fine to seat 7 people, but had almost zero room for luggage. Had to go up a class, and it was nearly twice the price. Wish I had know this upfront.10.0 Wonderful
