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.

Everything went smoothly.

I rented the car one day before but i did not receive a confirmation in the mail that the car was available. Despite this, Flavio went above and beyond and even got an upgrade!! Unfortunately, however I also made small damage (scratches) on my car which was my fault - they tried to clean it with a spons but did not help. So they have forwarded it to the damage department for review. I appreciate that they did their best to remove the damage so that I wont be charged. An update will follow when I receive the feedback

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.
