Best car rental prices in Portugal
We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Portugal, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Portugal and pick it up at a convenient place for them.
Options and possibilities:
We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Portugal on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Chevrolet Camaro from us, starting at €73 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Portugal. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan Peugeot Traveller might be best - from €46 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, SIXT recommends opting for a business class car like BMW 7 Series for €51 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model VW Polo for just €21 per day.
Select the exact date and time for picking up and returning the car:
If you want to save money, choose the same pick-up and return time. Car rental companies charge for a full day of rent, so if you rent a car for 25 hours, you pay for 48 hours (two full days), and 73 hours would be equivalent to four full days of rent.

Popular locations in Portugal
The rental points are grouped into three main locations: city, airports, and railway stations. Therefore, it won’t be difficult for you to find an option that suits you. Important note: the number of cars offered and the rental price in different rental locations in Portugal may differ. That is, car rental at the airport can be more expensive compared to the city centre. However, there is generally a larger choice of models at the airport. To pick the best option, you should study all of the offers, compare prices, and then make a decision.
The highest demand for car rental in Portugal occurs during the high tourist season - summer.
On average, the cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is also significantly reduced if you don’t book in advance.
For example, in July, the average price for the popular model Opel Insignia in Portugal is €32 per day.
In autumn, the same car costs about €10 per day.
Highest summer price for convertibles. For example, a Chevrolet Camaro is offered at €73 per day.
Among budget models, the most demanded in Portugal is the VW Polo. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €21 per day.
Business class car rental in high season is also more expensive. For example, renting a BMW 7 Series costs about €51 per day.
The excitement noticeably subsides in autumn and rental companies begin to reduce their rates. For example, you can rent a VW Tiguan very cheaply in the autumn for just €40 per day.
Fans of exclusive car models also find it easier to fulfill their requests in the autumn months. For example, in Portugal, you can easily rent a BMW 8-series to travel in style through the streets of the beautiful city. Rest assured that the memories of these drives will linger in your imagination for a long time.

● You failed to pick up your car in Portugal at the arranged time and date.
● You failed to provide the documentation required to pick up the car.
● You failed to provide a credit card in the main driver’s name with enough available funds on it.
In the event of any of the above, no refunds can be made.
