ALAMO Rental Cars at Lisbon Airport

Lisbon Airport is the main air gateway to Portugal, and is located just a few kilometers from the capital city of Lisboa. The airport handles over 29 million passengers per year, and is the largest international airport in the country. It is also one of the busiest airports in Europe. Lisbon Airport is located alongside Portela, and is therefore well known as the Lisbon Portela Airport as well, and is recognised by its official airport code of LIS. Buses and taxis provide transport to and from the airport, but many passengers prefer a rented car from one of the Lisbon Airport car hire companies, such as Alamo. Alamo offers competitive rental rates, and a wide selection of quality vehicles for hire.

At Lisbon Airport, the car hire companies are found in the arrival areas, and Alamo is open from 06:30 to 01:00. Customers can hire their vehicle directly from Alamo’s rental counters at the airport, or in advance, over the internet. An advanced reservation is often recommended, as Lisbon Airport is very busy, and car hire can be in high demand. It is also best to hire any additional items of equipment required for your journey as early as possible, as a satellite navigation system or child seat will not necessarily be available upon your arrival. A few Euros are added per day of hire for each of these items, but they can be essential for the safety and comfort of your time in Lisbon.

From Lisbon Airport, hand controls may be available for disabled drivers, and this device is ideal for individuals with a lower limb deficiency, as it operates the brake and accelerator pedals. It is also used on a vehicle with an automatic transmission, and may come with a steering wheel knob for additional assistance. Hand controls should be booked at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival at the airport, and are free of charge. Lisbon Airport one way hires are another option for renters of Alamo, and is a service most useful for customers who would rather return their vehicle to another Alamo rental location. The return location can be in the same city as the pick-up location, or at a further destination. One way hires are usually more expensive than ordinary rentals, especially if the vehicle is delivered to a different city.

Alamo Lisbon Airport offers a wide range of vehicles for hire, and is a very popular choice of car rental company for leisure customers. Larger cars suitable for families include the VW Jetta 1.6 found in the Intermediate category, and the VW Passat 2.0 in the Standard Wagon category. Estate vehicles often have a greater capacity for luggage, and are very comfortable to drive. There are also Full-size Wagons available, such as the Audi A4 1.9, and Premium Wagons, similar to the BMW 520 2.0. Larger families may also prefer to hire a van, such as the VW Sharan 1.9 or the Seat Alhambra 2.2, with room for seven passengers, while the VW Transporter 2.5 is one of Alamo’s larger vehicles, with space for nine people. All these family vehicles come with air conditioning, power steering, ABS brakes and a manual transmission.

The majority of Lisbon Airport car rental companies also offer smaller cars, ideal for one or two passengers, and cars of a medium size, for four passengers. At Alamo, the smallest vehicle offered is found in the Mini category, and is similar to the Peugeot 107 1.0, while vehicles seating four can be hired from the Economy category. Economy vehicles are very light on fuel and easy to drive, and include the VW Polo. Smaller cars are also offered with the best rental rates. The Compact category is another very popular choice among many renters at Alamo, as these vehicles are slightly larger than those found in the Economy category, but still come with good rental rates. Compacts available include the Seat Leon 1.4 and the Ford Focus Zetec 1.6, which is actually a Compact Wagon vehicle.

Alamo at Lisbon Airport requires their primary renters, and all additional drivers listed on the rental agreement, to meet the minimum age requirement of 21, and to have a valid drivers license issued in their country of residence for at least a year prior to the rental date. It is also necessary for all drivers to be present, in person, when collecting the vehicle. Drivers between the ages of 21 and 25 will pay a higher rental rate than usual, as young drivers insurance will be added. Younger renters are also not always permitted to hire from certain vehicle categories. Alamo accepts most local driving licenses provided that they are printed in a Roman alphabet. Otherwise, an International Driving Permit will most likely be required, and this document will be used as a translation of the local license. It cannot be used as a legal driving license on its own.

Before leaving Lisbon Airport, arrange for adequate insurance for your rented car, such as collision damage waiver and theft protection, and make sure that you know which type of fuel should be used. It is also best to have any emergency numbers to contact on hand as well. At Lisbon Airport, Alamo can provide their customers with all further details regarding their rental terms and conditions, and their cars for hire.
