Car rental at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport

You'll find driving in Lisbon, Portugal, can be a bit demanding when driving outside of the city centre, as the roads are often narrow and hilly. Traffic congestion can be high, especially during peak-hour traffic which is usually from 08:00 till 10:00 and then again from 17:00 till 19:00. When you are in the city centre, you'll find the roads are well maintained and generally wider, which makes them easier to navigate.

Driving in Lisbon means you'll drive on the right side of the road and overtaking must be done on the left; overtaking on the right side will result in a fine. The driver and passengers must wear a seatbelt at all times, and kids under the age of 12 are not allowed to sit in the front seat. Safety camera radars or warning devices fitted to your car are illegal, and you'll have to drive with your driver's licence in the car at all times, as it's a regular occurrence that official traffic officers will stop you and ask to see it.

The age limit for car hire in Lisbon is a minimum of 25 years old and a maximum of 75 years old. You will need to have held your driver's licence for at least one year to qualify for car hire.
