02

Should I book Lisbon Airport car hire now or wait until the last 2 weeks?

For November 2026 at Lisbon Airport, compare in the last 2 weeks before your trip: a Compact car is cheapest then at £15 a day on average, versus £16 around a month before. Across the year, a Compact car averages £18 a day around 2 weeks before your trip, against £45 around 9 months before, so you have not missed the cheaper window. Across the 395 airports we track car hire prices for, 65% of our customers booked within a month of pickup, so you are not unusually late if you are still comparing.

03

Which car hire company is cheapest at Lisbon Airport, and what do I give up?

Flizzr is the cheapest company at Lisbon Airport for a Compact car over the last 12 months, averaging £22 a day, but you need a credit card for its deposit. Flizzr scores 87/100 from 51 recent reviews and has an airport desk, with a typical £427 deposit. Budget averages £32 a day for a Compact car over the last 12 months, from 743 prices, which is £10 more a day, and scores 82/100 from 102 recent reviews. If available credit matters more to you than the daily rate, compare Budget's £171 deposit with Flizzr's £427.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

07

Which car should I choose at Lisbon Airport for a family with luggage?

For a family at Lisbon Airport in November 2026, choose a Compact, the Ford Focus size, at around £16 a day booked around a month before your trip, but check its 3-bag limit. It seats 5 but takes 3 bags, so if each person brings a bag you need more boot space. For November 2026 at the same lead time, a couple with 2 bags can choose a Mini, such as a Fiat 500, at £12 a day, while an Intermediate, such as a Nissan Qashqai, costs £25 a day and takes 4 bags. If you want an automatic, filter for one: 46% of cars offered over the last 12 months are automatic, and over the full period tracked, an automatic Compact car averages £42 a day versus £34 a day for a manual Compact car. Electric cars account for 6% of cars offered over the last 12 months and hybrids for 2%, so filter for your preferred powertrain rather than assuming your chosen car has it.
