Driving

Before you rent a car in Portugal, there are a few things you should know:

  • Portuguese drive on the right side of the road
  • The use of safety belt is always compulsory
  • Driving and drinking is not recommended. When you drive the legal maximum alcohol level is restricted to 0.5g/l, the equivalent of a small beer
  • Usually, vehicles approaching from the right have priority, except when the signs tell the contrary.
