These are possible optional extras which you can choose to include with your car hire booking. Prices of each of the extras vary depending on which car you book and on which region of Portugal. To view your exact price, enter your dates and locations in the price calculator at the top right of this page, and click on the "book!" button on the subsequent page, for the car of your choice.

Important
As standard we have an "Third Party Insurance" included in all our car hire prices. Should you wish, you can also opt to take out a more comprehensive "All Risk Insurance" (also known as “all risk excess insurance” or “S.C.D.W.”) for an additional price.
Please find some important information regarding the All Risk Insurance and how to avoid paying a deposit.
The client (whether driver or not) is responsible for a bail deposit in case of a self-provoked car accident, in case of damages caused by acts of vandalism, in case theft of the vehicle or of theft of any of its accessories, as long as the driver is unable to identify the guilty party.
The amount depends on the car hire Group you decide to book:
Groups A, B & C: €500 - €600*
Groups D, E, I, & J: €1,200
Groups F, G, H & N: €1,600 - €1,800
All remaining Groups: €2,500*
* values differ with our different partners
This payment is made upon the delivery of the car, in cash (euros or foreign currency) or by credit card.
NOTE: If you pay by credit card, your card details will be noted but no money will in-fact be taken off your account. (Considering there are no damages to the car)
This bail deposit will be refunded to the client at the end of the car rental upon returning an undamaged car.
To avoid paying this bail deposit, you can take out an all-risk insurance which will cover you.
Groups A, B & C: €6 - €7,50*
Groups D, E, I, & J: €10
Groups F, G, H & N: €8 - €14*
All remaining Groups: €18
* values differ with our different partners
This amount has to be paid by the client when receiving the rental vehicle. Please note this insurance is not re-fundable.
Taking Portuguese Law into consideration, our insurance companies decline any or all responsibility for our clients drivers (you) for all damages caused to the hire vehicle or to third parties whenever it is detected that the driver was driving under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, drugs or toxic products or by insanity of the driver.
Also if the client uses the car in sportive competitions, races, rally’s or challenges, contests, bets, etc.
We also take this opportunity to inform you that even if the rental car's driver is not under the influence of any of the above items but intentionally destroys our rental car by his own fault we shall not refund any amount for the time left to complete the car rental and we only give another car through a large deposit that may cover eventual damages that can be caused to the new rental car.
