Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Lisbon and throughout Portugal, providing you with a flexible choice from a large network of collection and return stations throughout the city. Particularly central and convenient points are located at Lisbon Airport (LIS), as well as major transportation hubs like Gare do Oriente train station and Santa Apolónia station. Additionally, you will find branches in central neighborhoods and areas such as Baixa and Chiado, Marquês de Pombal, Avenida da Liberdade, and Parque das Nações, also along roads leading out of the city towards Cascais, Sintra, and Setúbal. The fleet includes compact and city-friendly models to family cars and SUVs for exploring outside of Lisbon, with options for automatic or manual transmission. Equipment and services such as baby seats, navigation, and a Via Verde device for convenient toll payments on Portugal's toll roads can be added for a fee.

Operating hours vary between rental companies and stations, therefore it is important to check in advance that the hours match your landing or arrival time in the city. Airport branches generally open early and close late, sometimes operating around the clock, while city branches tend to have more limited hours, with restricted availability on weekends and holidays. To streamline collection, it is advisable to choose a station close to your accommodation or exit route from the city, check in advance the insurance policy, fuel and deposit conditions, and if there are any return restrictions outside operating hours. If planning to go on day trips to nearby sites, ensure parking availability in the accommodation area and consider using the Via Verde device to save time at payment stations. Proper planning will ensure you receive the car in the place and time most convenient for you and can enjoy Lisbon and the surroundings with peace of mind.
What is the minimum age for renting a car, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In Lisbon, through Auto Europe Israel with Dollar, Budget, or Europcar, the minimum rental age is at least 21, and generally, a minimum of one year of driving experience is required. Drivers under 25 are often subject to a daily Young Driver surcharge and category restrictions. The surcharge amount, required experience, and allowed models vary between suppliers and appear on the reservation voucher.
Is an Israeli driving license enough, or is an international license required?
In most rental offices in Lisbon, a valid Israeli driving license (at least one year) is accepted, but some suppliers may also require an International Driving Permit (IDP). To avoid delays, it is recommended to bring the original Israeli license, international license, and passport. When collecting through Auto Europe Israel at Dollar, Budget, or Europcar, the same set of documents must be presented for all registered drivers.
What does the basic insurance package include, and which additional insurances are recommended?

Common extensions include deductible reduction or elimination (SCDW), coverage for windows, tires, and mirrors, extended roadside assistance, and PAI (Personal Accident Insurance). Until purchasing SCDW, a high deposit is typically blocked on the main driver's credit card; coverage terms and exceptions vary between Dollar, Budget, and Europcar and must be confirmed in the voucher and at the counter.
Can an additional driver be added, and what is the cost involved?
Yes. In Lisbon, through Auto Europe Israel, an additional driver can be added at Dollar, Budget, or Europcar, provided each driver presents a valid license (sometimes also IDP) and is present at collection for signing. A daily surcharge is usually charged for each additional driver, subject to a maximum charge, and age and experience may affect this. In certain rates or promotions through Auto Europe Israel, there may be an additional driver without charge, subject to confirmation in the booking conditions.

Looking for a car abroad? With Auto Europe Israel you will enjoy a wide selection and attractive conditions. We've gathered four short tips that will help save time and money and avoid surprises along the way, from booking to return at any destination worldwide and simply.
Credit and Deposit
A physical international credit card in the main driver's name is required for rental security. In most locations, debit/prepaid cards are not accepted for deposit, and a PIN code is required. Ensure sufficient credit for blocking.
Fuel Policy: Full to Full
Choose Full to Full policy: receive a full tank and return full. Returning with a shortage will incur an expensive fuel and service charge. Refuel close to return and keep the receipt as evidence.
Young Driver and Additional Driver
Check minimum age and young driver surcharge according to destination and car type. Book an additional driver in advance, and all drivers must present a valid driving license (sometimes also international) at collection.
Border Crossing and Ferries
Traveling to neighboring countries or via ferry requires pre-approval and may include restrictions and additional insurance. Indicate this in the reservation and receive written approval to maintain insurance coverage.
