Car Hire in Abrantes Center

Abrantes is strategically located on the Tejo River in central Portugal, approximately 150 km northeast of Lisbon and 80 km from Santarém. With five rental companies in the downtown area, you have good opportunities to find a rental car that fits your budget to explore the Ribatejo region. The city is an excellent starting point for tours along the historic villages of the Tejo Valley and the Alentejo plateau.

Abrantes downtown is dominated by the medieval castle with panoramic views of the Tejo, and the city's main square, Praça Raimundo Soares, is the heart of local life. From here, it's about 45 km to Constância where the Tejo and Zêzere rivers meet, and about 60 km to Tomar with its famous Christ the Redeemer Church. Rent a car early in the day – Abrantes is a popular stopover and availability can be limited during summer.
