How old do you have to be to rent a car in Costa?
In Costa, the requirement is usually 18 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Don't forget to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Costa?
Most rental companies will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Costa?
Road-tripping around Costa may feel like second nature to drivers from the U.S. This place, and the rest of Portugal, sticks to the right.

Where can I find a Costa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Costa. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
