Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Algarve car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to picking up the car, the majority of prepaid bookings qualify for a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to understand the cancellation policy. Check your confirmation for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Algarve?
Full-size rides, compact cars, powerful SUVs ... Pick up the keys to whatever you prefer! Economy is the top rental vehicle category in Algarve. Zippy, great on gas and a cinch to park, these rides make touring bustling city streets a dream. Maybe the best thing? Your wallet will love them. That means you'll have more cash to splash on other things, like discovering as much of this destination as possible.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Algarve?
Drivers 18 and over can go road-tripping around Algarve in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Algarve?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Algarve, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
Can I drive in Algarve with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, you can. If you have a valid U.S. License, you can drive in Algarve. You're unlikely to need an International Driving Permit. That said, they are fairly easy to get, so it could be a good idea to organise one anyway.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Algarve?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose your ideal ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Algarve or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find an Algarve car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Algarve often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not have any extra fees for this age group. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to escape extra costs when collecting your car.
