Help on the rental process
The number of cars in Portugal is very large. This is connected with the fact that the Portuguese try to avoid group rides in everyday life, preferring private cars. Quite often, each family member has his own car. This is one of the reasons why there is such a shortage of parking spaces, and why the traffic is so heavy.
The rich choice of underground parking lots somewhat eases the situation. The number of underground parking areas increases every year in Portugal. You will find it almost impossible to find a free parking space on the street in the daytime.
Local people are quite liberal about the problem of parking. You will often see cars parked at a pedestrian crossing or even on the pavement. Leaving the car park on the street, you should be prepared to the fact that you might find small dents and scratches on the car on return. On parking lots, cars stand very close to each other, so small problems are simply inevitable.
