About AC Rental Lisbon

Our story · Our mission · Our promise

AC Rental Lisbon was born from a simple problem: living in Lisbon in August, in an old flat in the historic centre, with a dog and three sleepless nights. The obvious question was: why is buying or installing air conditioning in Portugal so complicated? And why does no one simply offer to rent it?

Our starting point

Lisbon has changed over the last 10 years. The summers are longer, the heatwaves more intense, and the flats — especially the old ones in the historic centre — were not designed for 38°C temperatures. At the same time, most Lisboners live in rented homes, without the capital or permission to install fixed splits. In Alfama, Mouraria, Bairro Alto and Baixa, the city council even forbids installing exterior units on the façade.

The solution exists and it's simple: a portable air conditioner. But buying one costs €400–700, requires storage 10 months a year, and when it breaks down you have to sort everything out yourself. Renting solves this — but until recently, no one in Lisbon offered it with same-day home delivery.

What we do

We rent portable air conditioners in Lisbon and Greater Lisbon. We deliver the same day (if you confirm before 4pm), with the window kit included so you set it up yourself in ~5 min (no technician, no drilling), and collect it when you no longer need it. No permanent installation, no landlord approval, no lock-in contract.

The prices are transparent: €40/day, €210/week, €450/month. See all prices.

Our values

Honesty

If we think you don't need an AC, we'll say so. If we'd recommend a portable when a fixed split would be better, we'll say so. We're not here to push a service — we're here to solve real problems.

Speed

A real person answers on WhatsApp, no bots or menus. Same-day delivery whenever possible. Replacement within 24h if it breaks down. Time is the currency we value most.

Flexibility

No contracts. No minimums. Return it whenever you like. During heatwaves, we extend our hours. For businesses, we build tailored packages. Every case is different.

Respect for heritage

In a classified historic centre (Alfama, Mouraria, Bairro Alto, Baixa, Graça), our service is the only legal solution. We work with respect for the planning restrictions and for the beauty of Lisbon's old buildings.

What we expect from you

That you use the equipment with normal care. That you close windows when the AC is on (it saves electricity and protects the unit). That you tell us if something isn't working — we replace it immediately. And that, if you like the service, you recommend it to someone else who's also suffering in the Lisbon heat.

What we don't do

Service areas

Lisbon city: every neighbourhood, including historic areas with restrictions. Greater Lisbon: Almada, Oeiras, Cascais, Estoril, Sintra, Loures, Amadora. For more distant areas, we apply a small travel fee.
