Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

This depends on the rental companies that are found in Mindelo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages.
