Hiring a car in Portugal: tolls and fuel policies

What UK travellers need to know about Portugal car hire, especially electronic tolls.

Ask how electronic tolls are handled before you leave the rental desk. Some suppliers rent a toll device or charge admin fees.

Faro, Lisbon, and Porto can all be excellent car hire bases, but city-only stays may not need a car.

Check cross-border rules if you plan to drive into Spain.

Choose a fuel policy you understand, and keep return fuel receipts where possible.
