P.S. Companies like Expedia often have no clue about the above. (I.e., they're not present locally and are often clueless about local car rental conventions.)

Everyone - my experience in Panama is that big chain car rental companies like Avis, National, etc, will insist on your paying for the basic insurance no matter what credit card or other coverage you have. Small regional outfits like Trinity or Coronado Car Rental, mentioned in my post above, often have the best prices even with basic insurance, though cars are, in my experience, older (but get the job done)

Hi JOANCHAMBERLAIN14 you've posted your Portugal question in the Panama section by mistake. Do go and post it in the Portugal section in case there's another member who can answer your specific question about asthma. Perhaps you should also try reaching out to a medical provider in Portugal, there are resources listed at https://www.mobidoctor.eu/blog/healthcare-in-portugal-for-travellers-and-tourists, perhaps they can help.
