It is important to note that there are some car rental agency websites that claim to offer cheap car rental services.

It is therefore advisable to contact the car rental agency directly before hiring a car.
Portugal has got many car rental agencies and car rental rates are determined according to location. If you plan to travel around larger cities you will be charged more than those who intend to travel within the city. A good example is when you travel from Lisbon to your home in Lisbon, you will be charged more by car rental agency Lisbon to rent a car than to hire a car from a car rental agency in Funchal. Similarly, if you are traveling from Cascais to Lisbon or Caucedo to Lisbon, you will be charged more by car rental agency Cascais than from a car rental agency in Lisbon.
Another way to get a better deal is to book your car rental in advance. Booking a car as early as possible can help you save up to 40% of the cost.

You can use these discounts while planning your trip and make sure to get a car that is suitable for the trip. Booking in advance will also help you avoid paying extra charges for parking.
Renting a car in Portugal is a very convenient option. However, it is always advisable to conduct proper research before you rent a car and do not get locked-in with a bad deal. It will be an added expense if you need to return the car.
