20 Car Rental Brands in Lisbon, Portugal

We wanted a small car for two people to get around, so we booked a small car. The car was ideal. Fairly new and in good condition.

After waiting in a queue at the counter, they announce additional fees ("premium location' fee, minimum license requirement, e-toll device hire). On top of that, they are trying to push very hard for their overpriced insurance. The vehicle I booked (an Audi Q2) changed to a Wolksvagen Touran (not the same category), and when I asked for time to think, I finally ended up with a Renault Captur. On the positive side, I must say that the deposit charge was returned to me the next day after I dropped it off.

In my order appears Alfa Romeo Stelvio (or similar) and this means SUV type car. The claim of goldcar was they don’t recognize this order like SUV and in their company it counts like F group so we received Fiat Tipo SW with no option to change so this is not SUV and of course not similar to Alfa Romeo Stelvio class.

We were required to buy full insurance, otherwise we couldn't pick up the car. We had already informed them that we had bought insurance through the rental platform, but the staff insisted that we couldn't get the car without purchasing their insurance. We immediately called the rental platform's customer service to explain the situation. The customer service requested to speak with the rental company staff, but the staff refused to take the call, stating that the contract was between the rental company and us, unrelated to any third party. We could cancel the order if we wished. Fortunately, the rental platform's customer service was able to cancel our original super full insurance purchase and the refund was processed on the next business day. It was Sunday the day we picked up the car. The rental company had many counters, but only 2 employees were working. When we arrived, there were 4 or 5 groups of customers waiting. From arrival to departure, it took about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Don't buy full insurance, it's a scam. Even if you purchase it, the local rental company won't recognize it and you'll need a deposit of over 4,000 euros. Who has such a high credit limit? Coincidentally, my credit limit is quite high, but I couldn't use that card. Essentially, they force you to buy full insurance from the local office. In the end, I had to buy it again, which was a huge rip-off.

Car met expectations. Pick up process was bad, instructions for van were horrific and I could've gone directly to the garage if I had the address since I was in lisbon already. Pick up terms designed to scare customer into purchasing insurance also got under my skin, literally said any small scratch would be at least 430 euros which is absurd. Drop off process was normal.

The counter only checked the document issued by QEEQ, ignoring my notarized Hague Apostille. Europcar's system is mediocre; the address, phone number, and email all need to be handwritten.

Shouqi Car Rental actually partners with a European rental company. The T1 terminal at Lisbon Airport has a whole building dedicated to various car rental companies, making it easy to find the pickup location. However, returning the car can be confusing. The rental office is just to the right after exiting customs at T1. Note that the vehicle inspection process in Portugal is very thorough. Once you inform the staff that you've purchased full insurance, they won't try to sell you additional coverage.

They charged me over six euros for something similar to ETC in our country when picking up the car. I said I didn't want it, but they said it was mandatory. I didn't even use the highway, but they refused to refund the money. It's not much, but it's frustrating!

I knew fuel in Europe was expensive at 14 RMB per liter, so I booked a Toyota Corolla Hybrid, which I was familiar with and had rented before, giving a mileage of 5 liters per 100 km. When I arrived at the store, after confirming the contract and deducting the deposit, the staff told me they did not have the model I booked and offered me a large diesel car instead. I refused, and they said they did not have any Toyota cars at all. I asked why they had me sign the contract and deducted my payment if they didn’t have the car. They finally gave me a Hyundai SUV with a 2.0-liter engine, which I didn't want as a 1.6-liter is sufficient for my wife and me. The larger engine consumed more fuel, and parking spaces in Europe are small. If not for booking a hybrid, I wouldn’t have considered this company. I wanted to cancel the order but was told by the rental platform that the SUV was also a hybrid, and they had no other cars available. I argued that hybrids should be matched with hybrids and engine capacity should be similar. The staff handling my rental was more interested in getting off work at 6 PM and left us at the counter when it was time for their dinner break. Eventually, I confirmed with the store manager and the rental platform that the SUV was a hybrid, and I had no choice but to accept it. The deposit was 2600 EUR if no insurance was bought. Returning the car was quick, and the return process was managed by different staff at a separate counter. The process was reasonable. After issuing a return receipt, I asked when the 2600 EUR deposit would be refunded. They said immediately, but I guessed it would take about 30 days.

I chose the Toyota Corolla Hybrid because I knew fuel prices in Europe are high at 14 yuan per liter, and this car uses only 5 liters per 100 kilometers. I had rented this car before and was familiar with it. Upon reaching the store, after confirming the contract and paying the deposit, the staff informed me that they didn't have this model available. Instead, they offered me a large diesel car, which I refused. They told me that they don't have any Toyota cars at all. I asked why they made me sign the contract and charged me, only to give me a Hyundai Jeep with a 2.0-liter engine, which I didn't want. For me and my spouse, a 1.6-liter car is more than enough. Larger engines consume more fuel, and parking spaces in Europe are small. If it weren't for the hybrid, I wouldn't have considered this rental company. I wanted to cancel the order. After calling the rental company, they told me that the Jeep was also a hybrid and that they had no other cars available. I insisted that a comparable car should be hybrid-to-hybrid, same engine size. This company was terrible. The staff processing the rental left us at the counter and went to eat as soon as it hit 6 PM. Later, I had to confirm with the store manager and the rental company that the Jeep was indeed a hybrid, and I had no choice but to accept it. Not buying insurance required a 2600-euro deposit. Returning the car was quick; they had separate counters and staff for rental and return, which was quite efficient. After getting the return confirmation, I asked about the 2600-euro deposit. They said it would be refunded immediately, but I guess it will take 30 days.

Lisbon location is a scam. When dropping off the car, they charge us for a microscopic spot on the edge of the door which was already there when we rented it out. It wasn't even visible, other clients agreed with us that it wasn't visible but the attendant told us it was our fault and charged us. Either we pay that amount or they will charge us more. Luckily we had the insurance from QEEQ but also from our credit card so we managed to get it back. But be very careful when renting from this location. I had rented from the Pisa location and all good.

The car itself was fine but on returning I had the car inspected. It was visually inspected and stated the condition was fine , the condition on fuel full to full it was confirmed this was fine on return. I requested as final invoice but the company stated it could not do this as there were road tolls to consider. It was stated that I would be email a invoice with in seven days. As I thought this never arrived and my bank statement shows I was invoice for £50 pound followed by £19 pounds. The £19 pounds I suspect was for road tolls the £ 50 pound was I suspect a spurious charge that the company are trying there luck on. This company if you look at there reviews have a very poor history of doing this but overall life is too short and its only £ 50 pounds . I will just have to be more careful in the future and not hire from the company again, As a overall review of how car hire operates car hire companies operate they request we sign for the condition of the vehicle , the vehicle is full of fuel and for any damages. Would it not be fair for the car hire company to also sign for this on return. I did ask for this but it was refused when I returned the car. Overall poor performance as £ 50 pound was taken from my account with no justification , no final invoice supplied and I personally think the company is just taking me for a ride but to be honest I can't do with the hassle of fighting it so I will live with it but will never use the company again - bit short sighted if you ask me. Any comment would be gratefully received and if you would like to justify the £ 50 was take as well as the £ 19 taken it would be an insight and we could take it from there
