How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gaia?
The minimum age to rent a car in Gaia is 18. A young driver surcharge applies, so check before booking and take into account any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may vary between providers, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Gaia?
Before you can hit the road in Gaia, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Gaia?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Portugal — the same as in the States. Motoring around Gaia won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local traffic rules.

Yes, and you'll find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll show you awesome options from a range of reliable providers.
Where can I find a Gaia car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Gaia often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age group. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid excessive charges on pickup.
