Renting a car in Portugal

Portugal is a very popular tourist destination with visitors travelling from all over Europe to enjoy the stunning coastline on the Atlantic Ocean and the warm climate. Having your own hire car in Portugal gives you the freedom to explore areas such as the Algarve and Faro at your own pace and means you will not have to rely upon public transport. Car hire in Portugal is very popular and we recommend booking in advance to ensure availability and the cheapest prices.

It is possible to pick up your Rhino hire car from a range of points across Portugal, including Lisbon, Porto and Albufeira. If you are flying into Faro we offer car hire from Faro Airport or from the city of Faro itself. If you are looking for an economy option then we have a good range of budget cars to rent with models such as the Toyota Yaris or Ford Fiesta available. If you are looking for a little more luxury why not hire one of our convertibles, like the Mercedes SLK or the Renault Megane Cabriolet.
