Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Faro Intl. Airport (FAO)?
The rental car counters at Faro Intl. Airport (FAO) are located before the security area. Here you can pick up a set of wheels at Avis/Budget/Payless, Goldcar/Interrentt or Hertz (Thrifty; Dollar; Firefly). Guerin (Alamo; Enterprise; National) and Sixt also offer some top deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my Alte car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to the collection time, most prepaid rentals qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental agreement. Look over your confirmation for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Alte?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Alte. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of room. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a cinch!

  • Lisbon District is 177 kilometres from Alte. Notable tourist attractions like Castle of São Jorge should be at the top of your list here.
  • Next stop? Setubal, which is around 153 kilometres away. Galapos Beach is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alte?
You need to be 18 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental car in Alte. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Look up the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Alte?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Alte?
Motoring around Alte will feel like second nature to drivers from the States. This place, and the rest of Portugal, sticks to the right side of the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Alte?
Yes, and you can find your perfect wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list excellent options from numerous trusted suppliers.
Where can I find an Alte car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Alte providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
