Answers to popular questions

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Praia. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 13$ to 24$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car 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 needed by law when renting a car in Praia. Most agencies automatically include this in the price of your car rental.
A Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or theft protection is recommended but not required. If you opt to purchase additional coverage, make sure to include it in your initial booking because the pricing are best when done this way. Check to see if your credit card coverage includes car rental insurance in Praia.

The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.

Choose a car based on what you want to do on your trip. Small cars like the Opel Corsa or Audi A1 can be used to get around the city and its surroundings.
The Toyota Camry 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 27$ 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.

All car rental agencies allow booking the vehicle's main features but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be in an accident, be kept by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher code sets the main parameters (e.g. CDAR). Code decoding:

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.
