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.

Everything went smoothly.

Flavio has been extremely friendly and helpful throughout the entire reservation process. We didn’t have a booking ahead of time so he took the time to process everything smoothly. He also gave us tips around the city and local driving habits. Not sure why this place has a 3.3 rating as it definitely deserves much more. Highly recommend this Sixt location instead of the one in the airport due to cheaper rates.

Surprisingly the people were nice and the car was great, contrary to the other reviews. Our car wasn’t returned on time by the people before us, so they gave us a loaner car for the day, covering the difference, and we drove back the next day to pick the car up. Although the situation could be avoided, it could have been a lot worse, and the employees handled the situation well.

*Our Customer Excitement Score is based on a survey sent to all customers who booked in Maia. The score is an average of all customer responses.
