How old do you have to be to rent a car in Arouca?
You'll need to be at least 18 to pick up the keys to a rental car in Arouca. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles.

What side of the road do you drive on in Arouca?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Portugal — the same as in the States. Travelling around Arouca won't be exactly the same as home, though. It's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the local traffic rules.

Where can I find an Arouca car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Arouca rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
