Compare Car Hire Lisbon Train Station

You should be prepared for any eventuality with your hired car in Portugal. When you are in Lisbon, you can hire at Lisbon Train Station where there is a guarantee of cheap deals anytime you arrive. One of the worst things that will happen to your car is breaking down. It will go down to the type of contract you signed and what it says in case that happens to the car you have hired.

Ensure that your contract addresses this issue otherwise you will end up paying for the towing and repair services from your pocket. Very few insurance covers take care of towing services so don’t assume that yours will. Many people don’t take this into consideration because car rentals at Lisbon Train Station have mostly new cars that are in good condition.

New vehicles

However, even new cars stall so you should not take it for granted. In the spirit of getting prepared for car rental breakdowns, you need to have a keener look at your insurance policy. That way, you will get to understand whether the insurance cover you have will take care of roadside assistance like towing. If you have a credit card, you can as well call the company and enquire on whether you stand to enjoy such benefits in case you car breaks down.

Read through terms and conditions of your car rental contract. It will give you an idea of whether additional fees that come with the car breaking down will be paid for or you will have to pay. Ensure the terms meet the conditions set in your agreement in regards to paying for extra costs like car breaking down. You may have booked online but once you are at the company’s counter at Lisbon Train Station, make sure the first thing you ask for is whether roadside assistance is covered for in the deal.

Since there are many car rentals at the station, you should put in effort to get a company that will take care of that. Tire burst can cause a car to break down so ensure the company gives you a spare tire or tires. The equipment for changing a burst tire should also be availed when you hire. You should not spend additional money in getting that when your car rental is in a position of giving you for free under the deal you agree to.

Hire an experienced driver

Above that, you can do due diligence to help cushion your car against breaking down easily. For instance, you should ask the car rental or even local people about the state of the roads that you intend to use. In case they are of poor terrain and dangerous to a car’s safety, you will be able to make a wise decision of not using such roads. You should under no illusion use a road that you know will most probably damage your car.

If you hire a driver, ensure he/she is an experienced one and who knows how to drive on local roads. Poor driving can cause a car to break down.
