Travel information

Car hire in Porto Airport

Almost all international car rental companies have an office at the international airport of Porto, including some local small business offering competitive rates. It is possible to rent a car also in the city, however we recommend to rent a car at the airport in order to save also on your way to the hotel.

Once in Porto, you will realise that it is easy to move around the city; there are few main streets and it is easy to find your way. Although the idea of driving around an historical and ancient city may sound scary, there are manu free and paid parkings where you can leave your car.

Some inspiration for a day trip with a rental car

If you want to experience an unforgettable one day trip, take your car and drive along Rua do Ouro towards west; this is the road passing along the Douro river all the way to the village of Foz Do Douro, located on the Atlantic Ocean. Here you will find several long, sandy beaches and restaurants.

For an even more authentic experience, keep driving along Avenida do Brasil until reaching the municipality of Matosinhos, where you will find a beautiful beach and a series of fish restaurants grilling on the street!

Tips on how to rent a car

Some useful tips on how to rent a car in Porto in total safe and mind tranquility.

Booking in advance

The first thing to do to get the best available rates is to rent a car in advance online; booking a few months earlier allows you to find the best rates and all the available cars without running the risk to having to settle for less than expected.

Credi card

In order to book a car it is mandatory to have a credit card with the name of the driver on it, that needs to be shown to the staff upon pick up. It is used as a guarantee and cash or debit cards will not be accepted. This is the reason why it is mandatory for the driver to own a credit card.

Fuel policy

Last but not least, pay attention to the fuel policy; full/full means that you will be delivered a car with a full tank, and that you must deliver it back with a full tank. Full/empty means that the cost of the fuel will be charged upon pick up; of course this will be a disadvantage for you considering that the price of the fuel will be more expansive compared to gas stations, also it is objectively very hard to return a car completely empty.

Driving in Porto
