What types of cars can I rent in Salvador?
The majority of visitors opt for economy cars in Salvador. Drivers love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for exploring cities, where streets are busy and parking spots are tight. But economy isn't your only option. Full-size, mid-size and premium cars are part of our rental range too. Whether you're sticking around Salvador or headed beyond, we'll have a ride that suits your needs.
Where can I go on a road trip from Salvador?
Salvador is full of fun adventures, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • You'll find Portugal dos Pequenitos and loads more amazing attractions in Coimbra. From Salvador, it's about 177 kilometres away.
  • Your next pit stop? Make it Porto, which is around 80 kilometres away. Porto Cathedral is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Salvador?
Salvador requires drivers to be 18 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Salvador?
In most cases, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Salvador?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Portugal — the same side as in the States. Travelling around Salvador won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Salvador?
You can. We partner with reputable companies that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Salvador — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Salvador car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Salvador often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not have any extra fees for this age range. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to avoid extra charges at the rental desk.
