Car Rental at Lisbon Airport - The best deals in Portugal

Located just 7 kilometers (4.3 miles) to the north-east of the city center, Lisbon Airport (officially known as Humberto Delgado Airport after the renowned diplomat and politician) currently ranks as the 12th-largest airport in Europe (in terms of passenger movements) and the busiest single-runway airport on the continental mainland. Handling more than 35 million passengers each year, it is the main hub of Portugal's flag carrier, TAP Air Portugal, and is major base for two of the world's largest low-cost airlines, Ryanair and easyJet, as well as Wizz Air, Transavia, Vueling, Eurowings and Norwegian Air Shuttle. First opened during World War II on the 15th of October 1942, the airport today boasts an exhaustive range of on-site facilities and amenities across its two spacious terminals, including numerous restaurants, bars, cafés, shops and fast-food outlets.

One of Europe's in vogue travel destinations, Lisbon absolutely brims with fascinating attractions and fun activities throughout the entire year. Blessed with a temperate climate, the city is bursting with culture and thousands of years of historical interest which is portrayed at many of the museums and top sights such as the Castle of São Jorge, Tower of Belém and Jerónimos Monastery, amongst many others. A visit to the ancient quarters of Alfama and the Bairro Alto offer travelers a taste of the old Lisbon, and for a trip down memory lane why not take a ride on the number 28 tram which has been trundling through the Portuguese capital for over a century. Modern Lisbon is best seen at the Parque das Nações, a multi-faceted tourist center first built to hold the Expo '98 World Exposition and where popular attractions like the Lisbon Oceanarium can be found.

Plenty of road-trip potential awaits people who collect their car rental at Lisbon Airport, with a plethora of possibilities in the outlying areas of the city. Always a great choice is a drive west to the historic village of Sintra, with its fairy-tale palaces nestling in the foothills of a verdant mountain topped by a 1,000-year-old castle. And close to Sintra lies Cabo da Roca, Continental Europe’s most westerly point. Lisbon's two stretches of golden coastline (one north of the River Tagus and the other to the south) offer a wealth of options for drivers looking to enjoy spectacular ocean views with the chance to relax on one of the region's many beautiful sandy beaches. The drive north of Lisbon is blessed with many other tourist highlights, most notably the two great monasteries of Batalha and Alcobaça, and Fátima, one of the world's most important Catholic shrines.

IDP in Portugal - Do you need an International Driver's Permit in Portugal? The short answer is no. Renters interested in renting a car at the Lisbon Airport are not required to get an International Driver's Permit before picking up their car, but it is strongly recommended. You can buy an IDP from your local AAA for about $20 before your trip. Learn more about the IDP laws for international drivers in Portugal.

Car Rental Age Requirements - Portugal's rental car age restrictions will incur an additional charge of €6 - €10 per day for most drivers under 22 and, in some cases, under 24. Some suppliers may also have a maximum age limit of 80 years old.

Lisbon Car Rental Insurance — In Portugal, the law requires that drivers carry unlimited third-party liability insurance, which is automatically included in the price of all car rentals. This protects you from any liability resulting from property damage, death, or injury to others. If you'd prefer to opt for more extensive coverage, you can take advantage of our inclusive rates, available at a discount when purchased before your trip. These car rental insurance rates provide a waiver for collision damage, and in most cases, they also cover the vehicle in case of theft.
