Getting to the Avis rental desk and away
The Avis rental desk is is conveniently located by the arrivals area at Lisbon Airport (LIS).
The city itself is only four miles south of the airport and can be reached via the 2° Circular. If you are heading north from the airport (perhaps to Coimbra or Porto), take the A1 motorway via the 2° Circular. If driving south (for example to Faro), exit the 2° Circular and take the Vasco de Gama Bridge.
Whether you’re intending to drive in the city or tour the country, or both, remember to drive on the right! Wearing headphones while driving is illegal and mobile phones can only be used with a hands-free system. Luggage carried on vehicles must not exceed the vehicle’s length by more than 45cm at the back and 55cm at the front. Dipped headlights must be used in tunnels and when visibility is poor during the day.
