Driving Tips in Portugal

Driving in a foreign country can be a learning experience. But, with these tips, we’ll have you driving your rental car in Portugal like a pro in no time.

- Basic rules: If you drive in a roundabout know that you have the right of way. If you are on a crossing and on the right and there is not a traffic light or a stop sign you have priority.

- Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 50 kph (31 mph) in city areas and up to 120 kph (74 mph) on freeways.

- Narrow Roads: Many of the roads and alleys in historic neighborhoods are very narrow. Make sure you give oncoming traffic plenty of space and take your time.

- Share the Road: Some streets, especially in rural areas, don’t have sidewalks. Give pedestrians the right of way and pass them with care.

Before you start your trip, review our driving tips for Portugal and feel confident on the road.

Best places to visit in and around Portugal

Whether you long for the ocean or fairy tale towns in the country, choosing to rent a car in Portugal gives you freedom and flexibility. Take extra time when you want it, and travel at your own pace when you visit these places:

  • Lisbon: Known for its lively atmosphere and landmarks such as São Jorge Castle, the capital city should be on every first-time traveler’s list.
  • Algarve: Drive between fishing towns and coastal communities when you visit the Algarve region. While Porto and Lisbon get all the fame, Algarve is a good choice for low-key travelers.
  • São Miguel: Located on the largest island in the Azores, São Miguel is home to volcanos, beaches, and hot springs. Renting a car allows you to reach out-of-the-way places such as Terra Nostra Park.

I would like to extend my highest praise to Mr. Martins, who resolved the rental issue for me on August 9. Thanks to his thoroughness and kindness, my wife and I were able to continue and enjoy our journey on the Douro River for the rest of the day. Thank you, Mr. Rui; I truly appreciate it. It was an unforgettable experience and a valuable lesson for me.

One-way car rental in Portugal
