What Should I Do If I Have a Car Accident in a Rental Car in Portugal?
Immediately ensure everyone is safe and call 112 for emergencies. Do not admit fault. Contact your car rental company's emergency number, provided with your documents from the HOR airport counter. Fill out the accident report form (Declaração Amigável de Acidente Automóvel - DAAA) found in the car. Take photos of the scene, damages, and the other vehicle's license plate. This will be crucial for insurance claims.

Horta Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and FAQ for renting and driving in Horta, Faial Island, Azores

Can I drive in Horta with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
US citizens can drive in Portugal with their US license for up to 90 days. However, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended since Portuguese police often require it alongside your US license. You can get an IDP through AAA for about $20 before your trip. Without it, you risk fines of €60-300 if stopped.
How old do I need to be to rent a car in Horta, and will I pay extra as a young driver?
The minimum age is typically 21 years old at Horta's rental agencies. Drivers under 25 usually pay a young driver surcharge of €5-15 per day. Some agencies refuse to rent to drivers under 21 entirely. If you're 20 or younger, book well in advance and confirm availability with multiple agencies, as options become very limited.
Are toll roads an issue on Faial Island, and how do I pay for them?
Faial is a small island with no major toll roads. However, if you take a ferry to Pico Island (highly recommended), you'll pay for the ferry crossing (approximately €35-45 per car one-way). Keep some cash for the ferry ticket booth, as card payments aren't always accepted. Mainland Portugal uses Via Verde electronic tolls, but you won't need them on Faial itself.
What are the road conditions like on Faial, and should I be worried about driving?
Faial's roads are generally well-maintained but narrow and winding, especially on the western side toward Capelinhos. Mountain roads have sharp turns with minimal guardrails—drive slowly and stay in your lane. Rent a smaller car (not an SUV) for easier navigation on tight roads. In heavy rain (common year-round), watch for mudslides on coastal roads. No off-road driving is allowed.
Where can I find gas stations in Horta, and what fuel type do I need?
Horta has 2-3 gas stations, with the main one near the city center open 7am-9pm daily. Diesel and gasoline (95/98 octane) are readily available. Most rental cars run on diesel or regular gasoline—check your rental agreement before filling up. Fill up before heading to remote areas like Capelinhos, as stations there close early.
What should I know about car insurance and coverage when renting in Horta?
Basic liability insurance is mandatory and included in rentals. However, the standard deductible (excess) is typically €500-1500—consider purchasing full coverage (€10-20/day extra) to avoid paying out of pocket for minor damage. Credit card CDW coverage often doesn't apply in Portugal; verify with your card issuer before relying on it. Always inspect the car thoroughly and photograph any existing scratches before leaving the lot.
