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.
  • Coimbra experiences traffic congestion during rush hour and peak travel times. The morning rush typically occurs from 7.30 am to 9 am, affecting major roads leading into the city. 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. Traffic conditions can worsen during holidays and special travel periods. Travelers to Coimbra are advised to plan their trips strategically to mitigate the impact of traffic congestion.
  • Book your rental car in Coimbra at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Coimbra are around 67% cheaper than other car types, on average

    When choosing car rentals in Coimbra, it is essential to consider factors like passenger volume, road conditions, and personal preferences. Coimbra enjoys a mild climate for most of the year, allowing various vehicle types to be suitable for driving. However, if you plan to explore the nearby mountainous areas or rural regions, opting for an all-wheel-drive (AWD) or four-wheel-drive (4WD) Coimbra car rental is advisable in order to handle potentially challenging terrain. Within the city, navigating busy roads and narrow streets like Rua Ferreira Borges and Rua Visconde da Luz is easier with sedans and compact cars, which offer better maneuverability and parking convenience.

  • What is the speed limit in Coimbra?

    When driving car rentals in Coimbra, it is essential to adhere to the speed limit to ensure road safety. Within built-up regions in Coimbra, speed limits are typically set at 50 km/h (31 mph). Outside built-up areas, the speed limits increase to 70 km/h (43 mph). However, the speed limit is higher on highways like the A1 or A14, usually 120 km/h (75 mph). Driving above these limits is associated with hefty fines.

  • Where are the best places to park car rentals in Coimbra?

    Coimbra provides various parking options for both residents and tourists driving Coimbra car rentals. Paid parking is available throughout the city, especially downtown and in commercial areas. These paid parking zones typically charge by the hour. It's important to be aware that parking fees may be slightly higher in popular or scenic locations and during peak times. If you want free parking, Pátio da Inquisição and Parque de Santa Cruz offer free parking services.
