How can I add an additional driver?

You are advised to make a request upon your arrival at the rental counter. Additional charge per day will incur unless '1 Additional Driver Included' is stipulated on the rental. Please note that the same licence and age requirement applies to the additional driver. The additional driver is supposed to present the required licence document along with the main driver at pickup.

Q: What is an insurance excess?

The excess is the amount you'll only be liable for in case of damage (under Collision Damage Waiver) or theft (under Theft Protection) of the vehicle. Information about the excess will be clearly stated in the price inclusion when you reserve a car on QEEQ.

Driver's License in Portugal

All licences issued in the European Union are accepted.

Driver's licenses from non-EU countries (except Switzerland) are accepted if you have a visa in your passport and at the time of rental have not been in Europe for longer than 6 months.If your domestic driver's license is printed with non-Roman Alphabet (Arabic, Japanese, Cyrillic etc), an International Driving Permit (IDP/IDL) or an official translation in English is required to present together with your domestic driver's license at the time you rent a car in Portugal.

To drive in Portugal, the driver must present a valid national driver's license that has been held for at least 1 or 2 years(according to different car hire company).

*Attention! Some car hire companies would have different requirements. Please check Terms and Conditions during the booking process.

6Suited my needs

The car was perfectly adequate and clean, but had clearly been in numerous minor accidents before. Avis' fast track service did not work / was not available at this agency despite having filled in my details in advance.

10Overall ok but surprised at extra cost

Klass Wagen would not accept my credit card for car hire without collision coverage as it only had my first name initials- they require full first name on the card however they were happy to take payment to include the cost of the insurance which was several times more than the cost of the rental without insurance. There was also a 20 Euro charge to drop off at the airport location which was different from pick up.

10Efficient and pleasant.

We wanted a small car for two people to get around, so we booked a small car. The car was ideal. Fairly new and in good condition.

6Drive on Holidays will have their Insurance commision!

Booked for Jeep Compass or similar. Originally they brought out another vechile, which wasn't big enough. I was told the Jeep Compass wasn't in the price range i'd paid for! Ended up with a citreon C5 Aircross which was very good. Had to buy their £270 insurance (even though i'd bought insurance with QEEQ). as they required a £3000 deposit if i didn't and £3000 sent my credit card into fraud alert after so many transactions in a short space of time.(I think they had me use my card 4 or 5 times in 2 minutes, which i'm sure is a ploy to set alarm bells at the bank). Upshot was, the insurance i bought from QEEQ was redundant.
