Guides for Lisbon
Before you book
Deposit
Most companies block a deposit on a credit card in the main driver's name. Local agencies often ask for less. Check the amount before you book.
Excess
Basic insurance usually leaves an excess of several hundred euros. Full or zero-excess cover removes it, at a daily cost.
Fuel policy
Choose full-to-full. Full-to-empty means paying the company's fuel price for a tank you rarely use up.
