The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Faro are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Rav4 and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Portugal ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Portugal are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.
