Each car may have two named drivers. They will need to have their passports
and drivers licence at commencement of hire and at all times when
driving. Hire charges are payable on collection of the car by cash or card.

Our standard package includes:
CDW insurance with excess ( this is like comprehensive in UK)
IVA ( VAT)

An additional driver
Child seats if required
Roof rack if required on those cars marked RR in the price list only

Which covers everything you need to drive away.

Available as optional extras are:
Excess waiver also known in Portugal as "super CDW"
Further drivers
Insurance to drive to Spain
These options may be arranged with the rep when you collect the car

There is a returnable deposit of 50 euro against the satisfactory return of the car. The insurance has an excess as shown on the website.
 
If you pay cash for the hire of the car you will be asked to pay the 50 euro and excess deposit .
 
If you pay by credit card we ask you to complete a card slip as security for the amount of the deposit and excess. However this is not submitted to the bank unless there is a claim, so in the normal course you will not actually pay a deposit for either the excess or the 50 euro . At the end of the hire the slip is returned to you and you should destroy it without delay.



We do not ask for a reservation deposit so I will not need your card details
over the internet.


The hire includes unlimited mileage within Portugal. If you wish to go to
Spain you will need a bail bond and green card from our insurers. There is a
charge of 50 euro.

Should you have an accident or the car is broken into or any other event that requires a claim on the insurance you must call the police and get a incident report number. Without this the insurance will not pay the claim and it is your responsibility to obtain the police report number and deliver it to us. If you have any difficulties with this please do not hesitate to call the office and we will be happy to help.


May I take this opportunity of wishing you a pleasant trip to the Algarve
and thank you for choosing our company.
