Important Information for hire cars

When you hire out a rental car, you are instantly covered by insurance, it is all included in the price. But please note that you are not covered for being towed away by the police for illegal parking. You would have to pay that yourself, including the parking fine, towing charge, storage charge and administration, so be careful where you park. If you do have an accident in you hire car with another vehicle whilst driving, please ensure that you get as many details from the other driver as possible. See his driving license and take down all the details, get any witnesses to give accounts of what they saw and get their names and addresses. If possible get some photographs as well. So many drivers get a parking ticket in a hire car and simply return the car back at the end of their vacation and say nothing. But the cost of the ticket is then taken out of their credit card a few weeks later along with additional administration costs. If you get a ticket, go to a police station and pay it. Before leaving home for your vacation, it is advisable for you to photocopy important documents such as passports, medical cards etc, and keep them separate. This is in case you lose them or have them stolen, you can then give the police all the information instantly, it really does help.

Police Warning

Especially during peak seasons in Portugal, there are more police check points and patrols. So do not drink and drive. If you get caught, you will end up in court, face a 1200 euros fine and a driving ban, and possibly a custodial sentence. You must carry your passport and driving license with you whilst you are driving a rental car. And don't forget, in Portugal, you drive on the right hand side of the road.
