How to Book

    Portfolio offers car hire in Portugal based on the three main airports at Porto, Lisbon and Faro. The minimum rental at each location is 3 days and if you book 4 days or more you can collect your car at one airport and return it to either of the other two at no extra charge. This makes our car hire in Portugal ideal for those planning to tour the country from north to south, starting Costa Verde and ending Algarve, or arriving Faro and leaving Lisbon.

    Our car hire in Portugal assures you of excellent standards of service and reliability. A representative will meet you at the airport with your car or will take you to the local depot to collect it. At Faro the vehicles are parked at the airport, so there is no need to transfer.

    Do please contact us with any queries.
