Driving Tips for Porto
Porto is a blend of antiquity and modernity. It’s important to anticipate what you might encounter while driving, and we have tips to make driving your car rental in Porto a positive rental experience:
- Construction: Large-scale infrastructural construction can be common in Porto, which may disrupt the normal flow of traffic. Use GPS to determine the best route to your destination.
- Parking: There are several free open-air parking lots in Porto's city center. These are great for visiting sights in the densest areas of central Porto.
- Pedestrians: As Porto is a center of tourism, be alert for pedestrians on or near the streets who may cross the street during gaps in traffic, as opposed to waiting for the signal.
- One-way streets: Porto is one of Europe’s oldest cities, featuring many narrow and one-way streets. Always pay attention to the direction of a street when turning.
- Right of way: Traffic coming from the right at intersections has the right of way in Porto.
Best places to visit in and around Porto
When you rent a car in Porto, you unlock the ability to traverse the city's ancient UNESCO World Heritage sites, as well as these unmissable attractions:

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!
