Helpful Tips for Your Drive:

Before you set off, we advise you to perform a quick inspection of your vehicle. Check the basics, like your oil and coolant levels. It’s equally important to verify the pressure in your tires—including the spare—and confirm that all your exterior lights are working correctly. This proactive check ensures a worry-free start to your holiday.

Fuel

Whether your car runs on petrol, diesel, or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), you can refuel across Portugal. Keep in mind that prices are often higher at service stations directly on the motorway. We suggest filling up in the city before you head out. Due to safety considerations, LPG is slightly less common to find in urban stations.
