How to find National at Lisbon Airport
Check how pickup works for your National car rental at Lisbon Airport. You might be able to grab your wheels on-site at the airport, have staff meet you, or hop on a shuttle bus to the rental lot. Kick off your car rental search and filter by 'Pickup' to find what collection options are available.
Airport terminal: Pick up the vehicle right in the terminal, with the rental counter next to or in arrivals.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office isn't inside the terminal. Instead, a free shuttle will take you to the nearby site where the car is waiting to be collected.
Meet and greet: Not long after landing, a representative meets you at the terminal. They'll hand over the paperwork and keys before taking you to your car.
Just want to hit the road sooner? Some providers offer self-service pickup, so you can collect your keys from a lockbox or kiosk and avoid the rental counter.
National car rental at Lisbon Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Make use of the 'Transmission' filter to choose between 'Automatic' and 'Manual.' Automatic changes gears for you, while Manual is the classic stick shift. The majority of rental companies offer both.
Fuel policy: Avoid extra costs by booking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You drive away with a full tank and return it full, so you pay only for the fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' give you more freedom to explore without worrying about added charges. Search for this option under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like.
Age requirements: To rent a vehicle in Portugal, you generally need to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may rent vehicles to younger drivers for an additional fee, so always check the terms before locking in your ride.
Side of the road: For first-time drivers in Portugal, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Speed limits: Local speed limits can vary, but it's usually around 45kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways. Always follow the posted signs.
Required documents: As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence and additional photo ID when collecting your National car rental. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
Deposits and credit card: Providers usually place a pre-authorised hold on a credit card as a security deposit. Debit cards are rarely accepted at pickup, so it's best to bring a credit card with you.
Insurance: Excess insurance isn't required, but it's worth considering for extra protection. Not all insurance policies are the same, so check before booking.
Add ons: GPS units, additional drivers and child seats can all be added while booking your National car rental. Organise them ahead of time to make pickup easier.
