The car model was upgraded for free, and it was a brand-new car with only 300km mileage in Lisbon. Major rental companies are located within the terminal, while local brands require a shuttle bus (operates every 20 minutes) to pick up the car outside the airport in a commercial area.

The service was excellent, and the staff spoke fluent English.

Lots of people waiting for pick up.

The car we had expected was not available so we had a free larger vehicle which was comfortable with adequate room. We could have had a bit more instruction on the workings of the vehicle as it had technology with which we were unfamiliar.

Drop off was confusing as the signage was not clear. Which parks were for which rental firms could have been much clearer. Booking was easy .

There was a line at pick up, it was well organized with the take-a-number system but still took about 30 minutes.

It was easy to book the rental and everything was ready when we arrived, very well done.
