Car Rental in Lagos

Convertible rental in Lagos

The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Portugal are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.

At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Lagos require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.

We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Portugal is quite high.

Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Lagos and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.

In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.

When parking a cabriolet in Lagos, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you an exciting journey with an open roof around Portugal!

Previous hints
Here we should definitely mention friendly attitude of local drivers and pedestrians to other drivers. For example, if an inexperienced driver tries to “squeeze” to a narrow parking space, people passing by or other drivers will surely help him. They will stop and will show the driver the best way to turn the wheels and how long it is possible to move backwards in order not to crash into a nearby car or rail.
In major cities, you may find so called “parking experts” who offer their services to drivers. As a rule, these are children and local jobless people. They are on duty along roads with heavy traffic, where they offer their assistance to drivers in search of free parking.
There are non-official “parking staff members” at large parking lots as well. They stand on a free space in the parking lot and wave their arms actively, drawing attention of motorists. If you have used the services of such assistants, make sure to leave a small tip. A tip of 0.5 - 1 euro will be sufficient. A greedy driver risks to find his new car scratched or without a mirror.

Enjoying sights of Lagos in cabriolet
One of the most famous attractions of Lagos is Ponta Da Piedale, a bay where you can find two remarkable sites: a viewing point (Miradouro da Ponta da Piedade) and a lighthouse (Farol da Ponta da Piedade). The bay is considered one of the most picturesque places in the whole of the Algarve, and one glance from afar is enough to fully realize it. Coming closer, tourists see the views that make them freeze. Marina de Lagos is another great place to walk and admire the scenic views, especially in the evening, when the charming marina opens from the other side demonstrating fantastic views of incoming and outgoing ships and a magnificent seascape.

In Lagos you can find several beautiful monuments to great people (mostly located in the city center) acquaintance with which brings aesthetic enjoyment, so it's definitely worth paying attention to sculptural works of art. Antigo Mercado de Escravos (located on Praça Infante Dom Henrique) is a peculiar historical monument and museum - the fact is that the first slave trader market in Europe once operated here. In the trade office, you can find several interesting household items left over from those distant times, tourists will certainly feel the atmosphere. The building is not significant from an architectural point of view, which makes it easy to pass by - however, one shouldn't do this because of its historical component.
