KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Coimbra
- Car rentals in Coimbra offer the ability to easily and flexibly explore the city and its surrounding attractions. Compared to alternative transportation options, having a Coimbra car rental allows you to set your pace and visit places like the historic University of Coimbra, Portugal dos Pequenitos, and the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Velha without much effort. Whether you plan to discover the stunning Serra da Estrela Mountains or explore the nearby coastal towns, Coimbra car rentals are the most suitable option.
- Passengers arriving in Coimbra often use Porto Airport (OPO), the city's nearest major airport. Porto Airport offers convenient car rental options from well-known companies like Avis, Europcar, Budget, and Hertz, located within the terminal building. Upon arrival, clear signage will guide you to the car rental agencies. To ensure a smooth travel experience and a Coimbra car rental that suits your needs and preferences, booking your car rental at Porto Airport in advance via KAYAK is recommended.
- Driving car rentals in Coimbra is generally straightforward due to well-maintained and marked roads. Drivers in Coimbra are typically patient and considerate. However, it's essential to exercise caution when approaching highly populated areas, such as school zones, business districts, and residential neighborhoods. Coimbra is known for its numerous roundabouts and intersections, so reducing your speed in these areas is advisable. Night driving requires extra vigilance, as poorly lit roads may hide pedestrians and unlit motorcycles. You should stay attentive to ensure a safe driving experience.

High traffic volumes are observed on routes like A1 and A14 during these periods. Similarly, the evening rush begins around 4.30 pm and lasts until 6 pm, increasing congestion on the same roads.

Driving above these limits is associated with hefty fines.
