Why LOUXE is so different from any other car hire company in Portugal

Why LOUXE is so different from any other car hire company in Portugal

When it comes to luxury car rentals, Louxe is a breath of fresh air in an industry often filled with disappointments. If you’ve ever dealt with big-name rental companies, you’ll be familiar with the frustration of not getting the car you actually booked, hidden fees, and subpar service. At Louxe, we’re here to change the game by offering a premium, transparent, and truly luxurious experience from start to finish.

Why Big Rental Companies Fall Short

Big rental companies often advertise sleek cars, but the reality is far from what you expect. Want an AMG G63, BMW M3 Competition CS, or Audi RSQ8? Chances are slim. Even if you see these cars on their website, it’s rare they’ll actually have them in stock. At best, you’ll get something “similar”—and that’s if you’re lucky. On the rare occasion that a car is guaranteed, it’s not unusual for the vehicle to become unavailable for your chosen dates. The frustration doesn’t stop there.

Once you’ve picked your car, the price you see is rarely the final amount you’ll pay. By the time you’ve added full insurance, extra protection for tyres and windows, tolls, and fuel options, your bill can increase by as much as 60%. It’s an all-too-common bait-and-switch tactic that leaves you feeling overcharged and disappointed.

Louxe: A Breath of Fresh Air

At Louxe, the experience is different. First of all, what you see is what you get. If a car is listed as available on our website, it is 100% available for your chosen dates. There are no last-minute surprises or disappointments when you arrive to pick up your vehicle. Our fleet is stocked with the crème de la crème of luxury cars—from the aggressive AMG G63 and high-performance BMW M3 Competition CS to the Audi RSQ8, and more.

We operate with full transparency. The price you see is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees, no up-selling for insurance, and no extra charges for basic services like tolls or fuel. Insurance is comprehensive and included, so you can drive with peace of mind knowing there won’t be any surprise costs later. In an industry notorious for hidden charges, we offer a refreshingly straightforward and premium service.

A Premium Experience, from Start to Finish

At Louxe, we pride ourselves on delivering a service that matches the caliber of our fleet. If you value premium treatment—like the kind experienced by private jet travellers or American Express Centurion cardholders—you’ll feel right at home. From the moment you inquire about a rental, you’re treated to a high level of personal service. You can even visit our 15,000 square-foot premises, a veritable candy shop of luxury cars, where you can hand-pick your dream vehicle.

Our cars aren’t just any luxury vehicles—they’re 100% Portuguese-registered. This is an important distinction, as many companies offering high-end rentals in Portugal aren’t legally allowed to rent their cars within the country. They ship vehicles in from Spain to avoid Portugal’s high registration taxes, which can result in logistical headaches and delays. But at Louxe, we offer fully registered, legally compliant vehicles that are ready to hit the road in Portugal.

Act Fast—Louxe is Launching Soon

With our official launch in December, Louxe is set to become the go-to choice for those seeking a one-of-a-kind luxury car rental experience in Portugal. But if you’re planning to hire a car, don’t wait—these exclusive vehicles won’t last long. With unparalleled service, a stunning fleet, and no hidden fees, Louxe is raising the bar for luxury car rentals in Portugal. Whether you’re cruising along the scenic coastal roads or exploring the heart of Lisbon, you’ll do it in the car of your dreams.

Louxe isn’t just another car rental company—it’s a luxury experience designed for discerning travellers who expect the very best. For those seeking the ultimate driving experience in Portugal, Louxe is the only name to remember.
