Hiring a car in Lisbon

Post by sanreen »

On our next trip to Carvoeiro we are arriving at Lisbon, and departing from Faro airport. We always hire our car with travel rent or drive for fun, (through economy car hire) but these are not an option from Lisbon, nor do the available car hirers mention anything re paying road tolls. I would appreciate any advice from anyone who has hired a car in Lisbon.

I prebook using carjet.com. They're a sort of comparethemarket.com website where they compare lots of different companies.

I've got a Focus from Lisbon airport for 2 weeks in June/July for 2 weeks for £400 Euros including topup insurance and credit card fee.

Tolls are booths and about 18/20 euros each way. To avoid the A22 tolls, come off the main motorway following the signs for Silves and go through there.

I might have lied about the comparing bit. :D

Carjet might be the company I finally went with, but have look see. They seem ok to me.
