Frequent Questions and Answers

When it comes to car rental costs, Praia is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Praia during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Praia.

Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Praia for any car rental. This is typically offered at no extra cost with most rental car agencies.
You should consider getting a CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft insurance, although it's not required. If you want to upgrade your coverage, the ideal time to do so is when you first make your reservation.
Purchase insurance while booking your car:

Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the Ford Focus or Fiat Panda can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Audi A4 is the most popular car in the Standard category. Its starting price is 26$ per day from EAST COAST, and its rating average is 9 based on more than 1000 customer reviews. BMW X1 from EUROPCAR is the most reasonably priced rental vehicle in Praia. Just 28$ per day is the cost.
Most of the rental cars in Praia are manual. Automatic cars cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The rental car companies in Praia can only guarantee a certain type of car, not an exact make or model. Car rental companies have cars from many different brands in the same category. These cars should have the same features that were confirmed at the time of the reservation. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

You may be able to reserve a specific model in some cases. You will notice a special note next to the vehicle in the search results if such a possibility exists.

The same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement when you pick up the vehicle. We accept two types of cards:

We will accept a credit card as a guarantee. Our front desk staff is not permitted to accept a credit card if it is not clearly designated as such.
If you purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental time, we can acccept a debit or prepaid card.

Rent a car without a deposit

Just keep in mind that the rental agreement must be signed in person at pick-up by the cardholder/renter, as well as by any other drivers. Additionally, the card must still be valid 100 days after the rental time has ended.
