We have negotiated preferential rates for car hire through Auto Jardim, a long established, local company. We have constant reports from our clients about the excellence of their service and, with a network of offices throughout Portugal, they are able to respond to any problem without delay.
Their rates are usually substantially lower than those offered by the international car hire companies if you compare like for like. Please bear in mind that the rates shown are FULLY INCLUSIVE.
Beware of other so-called bargain car hire prices; most companies ask for a SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE BOND, an extra insurance premium on collection of the car or airport taxes. If you have an accident you risk losing the bond. We cover the extra collision damage insurance premium, so our clients don't have to lodge a large sum of money overseas or on their credit cards or pay for extra insurance to avoid this. Auto Jardim simply ask our clients for a petrol deposit, which is returned on the spot, if you take your car back with a full tank.

In order to drive in Portugal you will need to have a full driving licence. The laws in Portugal regarding baby & booster seats are the same as in the UK. If you have booked your hire car through us, Auto Jardim have a supply of baby & booster seats for which the hire charge is €5 per item, per day (maximum €70 per rental), payable on arrival; alternatively, you may prefer to take your own. If you have booked a hire car independently, we strongly suggest that you confirm baby and booster seats are available for your vehicle. The police are empowered to impose on the spot fines for failure to comply with these car seat laws.
Visit Spain at no extra chargeWe have arranged that our clients may take their hire cars to Spain AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Please let us know when you book the car if you wish to do so and we will make all the arrangements for you as the car hire company has to be notified in advance to arrange the necessary paperwork.
