Toy car with 64k kilometers and smelling of a chai
Pros: The car did have a usb port and several somewhat newer technological features.
Cons: Strong smell of smoke.
Pretty beat up with the driver side mirror falling apart.
Car ran like a toy and felt like it was barely holding the road at times. Not surprising as it had over 60k kms on it.

29 Jul 2019
Pros: Centric place into the city to pick-up the car
Cons: Bad and very slow service to receive the car perhaps pushing customer to accept a more expensive option to accelerate the delivery process... mostly when you arrive to the Europcar office with the family and kids waiting more than one hour with an anticipated reservation/schedule already confirmed

Pros: Collection had a ridiculous delay. A long queue that should have moved much more quickly. Each person was at the desk and twiddling their thumbs while the Budget reps spent ages on the computer. The problem must be in the computer system as each step seemed to take ages.

Pros: He staff members were competent and professional.
Cons: The original car supplied was smaller than expected for the category. I had to upgrade to fit people/luggage and the upgrade cost was almost as much as the original rental. However, the upgrade was minimally larger and definitely not worth double the cost. That situation was/is infuriating.

Hertz Rental
Pros: Note: rental was changed to Hertz during week before rental.
Car was clean and in good condition.
Cons: Extremely slow pick-up procedure - 40 minutes total required. And no acknowledgement of such by Hertz staff.
Drop-off was better, but still slow.
Rental locations not clearly signposted.

Worst car rental experience ever
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Individual who processed my car return was curt and rude. No one was around when we arrived so I chose a lane for the car and parked. As we were about to unload an attendant ran up and said we had to move over.
The area was incredibly cramped and small as is, and I had barely enough clearance to move the car into the lane he wanted me to be in. So I started moving the car carefully, and even though I had enough clearance on either side, he started yelling at me about how to move the car and seemed frustrated that I wasn’t moving more quickly. Since he clearly had strong opinions on my driving skills, I asked if he could move the car instead. He said "No" at first and continued yelling at me for how to maneuver the car. He only obliged after I stopped moving the car, and even so, he continued barking orders at me like unlocking the car more quickly and even criticized HOW I unlocked the car (I used the door handle and he scoffed saying I should push the "unlock" button instead)
Mind you there wasn't a mad rush or anything...no one else was there...things weren't crazy and he was just overwhelmed with work. Absolutely NO excuse for his behavior

Cons: We were very disappointed that some crucial information is not shared with the customers. We were not informed that every kilometre has an additional fee.

Pros: Clean small car.
Cons: The staff seemed annoyed when asked to assist on driving the car from its parked location in the garage which seems obstructed by another rental vehicle. Car was an automatic, but it was not explained that the car can also be placed in a manual mode. In the USA a car is either one or the other. Ok

Car damage
Pros: Car was great! Clean and very modern with all the latest security features.
Cons: At the pick up station they didn't check the car for damage. The place was dark and I didn't realize that it had a huge scratch.
I had a hard time explaining the whole situation at the drop off location and had a lot of stress on my first vacation day due to that.

Pick up and drop off surprise
Pros: The car was tidy
Cons: You wouldn’t expect not to find the company name in Rent a car area in airport if you book pick up/drop off location exactly airport. It comes that you are forced to spend extra half an hour to find the right guy and to get to the rental office (same exercise on the way back). The guys in the office live their lifes instead of serving you..

Top tips for hiring a car in Lisbon
- Want the freedom of having your own car while touring Lisbon? If flying into Lisbon International Airport, you’ll find it very easy to rent a car. There are several hire car places located right inside the airport including well-known companies like Hertz, Avis, and Budget. For added convenience, the car hire desks are close to the baggage claim area.
- After touring the city of Lisbon, you’ll definitely want to take a scenic drive along the coast. On the ride you can take in picturesque views of the water and breathtaking landscapes. If going south to Faro, you can stop at one of a few blue flag beaches for swimming, biking, hiking, or just sunbathing. You’ll also be able to experience a variety of seafood dishes at local restaurants in Sintra or Porto Covo.
- In Lisbon there are many toll roads which can be inconvenient for drivers not familiar with the city. Plan out your route beforehand and talk with your hire car agent about whether you will need to pay tolls. If you will, you might want to consider pre-paying tolls to avoid unnecessary credit card charges.
- Most cars in Portugal have manual transmission; therefore, this is what most hire car companies have in stock. So, if you want an automatic, you’ll want to book your hire car far in advance. Note that even if you drive a manual car at home, Lisbon can be a really hilly city with lots of twists and turns. Consequently, you might feel more comfortable with an automatic transmission. When booking your car, you’ll also want to note that renting an automatic car will cost slightly more than a car with a manual transmission.
- 25% of our users found a car hire in Lisbon for €8 or less
- Book your car hire in Lisbon at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Mini car hires in Lisbon are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average
