But as every country has its own driving rules, so does Portugal. Driving in Portugal needs the recognition of the local road laws. Speed limits should consist of 120 kph (74 mph) on motorways while 90 kph (55 mph) on open roads and 50 kph (31 mph) in urban areas. There are toll roads in Portugal labeled as 'portagem'. Extra care should be taken in the countryside where residents still use animal drawn carts. All the occupants of the car must wear seatbelts and children under the age of twelve must not sit in the front seat of the car.
Budget provides an online form, which should be filled in by the customer. The form will ash questions like Pick-up and Return location, Car group, Pick-up date, Return date etc. The car group suggests which type of car you want to hire. For example car hire Portugal offers following car groups:
