Driving Tips for Maia

Before revving up your car rental in Maia, brush up on local road rules for a smooth ride. Here's a quick guide to cruising hassle-free:

  • Speed limit: The speed limits in Maia are 50 km/h (31 mph) for built-up areas; 90-100 km/h (55-62 mph) beyond the built-up zones; and 120 km/h (74 mph) for the freeways.
  • Parking: The “Estacionamento Proibido” sign means no parking. White and blue signs with a red line usually mean no parking, sometimes with yellow or red curb signs. When parking on a one-way street, align with traffic flow.
  • Rush hour: Plan your travels around rush hours, usually early morning and late afternoon, especially on main routes like N14 and N13, to evade congestion.
  • Yield: Cars within the roundabout hold the right of way, while vehicles from the right take precedence at unmarked intersections.

Must say I was very put off by some of the negative reviews. Took full insurance out and had no issues on pick up and return. Deposit returned in 2 working days.

We rented an SUV from this location and dropped it off at Lisbon Airport. It was a bit difficult for the Bolt driver to find the location but after a bit of searching we made it there. The rental agent was friendly and efficient and encouraged me to take photos of any minor scuffs and scratches that they did not consider damage, just in case. The car was in great condition and I appreciate that they did not try to upsell us (that happened to us at Sixt Las Vegas and was a big waste of time). Drop off was efficient and easy as well. I was nervous about renting from Sixt after reading the reviews here but came back to leave a good review since we had such a positive experience. Recommended!
