Lisbon Airport (LIS) Exceptional 9.2 / 1,009 reviews To rent a car, you'll need a valid driver's license (and an International Driving Permit for some countries), a major credit card in your name for the security deposit (some companies accept debit cards with additional proof), and proof of insurance unless purchasing coverage from the rental company. Most agencies require renters to be at least 21 years old (25 for premium vehicles), with young driver fees often applying to those under 25. While walk-ins are sometimes available, having a reservation ensures better rates and vehicle selection. Requirements vary by location and rental company, so it's wise to check specific policies beforehand, especially for international rentals where passports or additional documentation may be required.
The minimum age to rent a car typically ranges from 18 to 25 years, depending on the rental company and location. While most major companies require renters to be at least 21, some accept 18-year-olds with young driver fees. Premium vehicles usually have a 25+ age requirement. Renters under 25 often face additional daily surcharges (typically 15−15−30/day). International rentals may have different age policies. Always check with your specific rental company, as requirements vary by country, vehicle type, and rental agency policies.
When choosing a rental supplier, prioritize reputation (check reviews for service quality), pricing transparency (watch for hidden fees), vehicle availability (ensure your preferred car type is offered), and insurance options. Compare mileage policies, fuel requirements, and cancellation flexibility. Verify the rental location's convenience and operating hours. For international rentals, check cross-border policies. Always read the rental agreement carefully to understand terms, excess amounts, and damage policies. Established brands often provide reliability, but local suppliers may offer better rates—balance cost with service quality for the best experience.
While most rental companies prefer credit cards, some accept debit cards with additional requirements: you'll typically need proof of return travel, extra identification, and may face higher security deposits (200−200−500+). Prepaid cards and cash payments are generally not accepted. Certain locations (like airport branches) impose stricter rules. Alternative platforms like Turo sometimes offer more flexibility. Always confirm policies in advance, as requirements vary by company and location. Major chains like Enterprise and Hertz may accommodate debit users with proper documentation.
