Cascais City Car Hire

Cascais Alcabideche is an inland area north of Cascais town, located near the A16 highway and about 5 km from Cascais center. With three rental companies in the area, it's a practical option if you want to avoid high-season coastal traffic during pickup. From here, you can reach Sintra in 20 minutes and Lisbon in 35 minutes via the A5.

Alcabideche is surrounded by Sintra-Cascais Natural Park and offers peaceful forest roads and horse stables. Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra and Palácio Nacional de Sintra are just 15 km to the north, while Cascais marina and beaches are 5 km to the south. Use Alcabideche as a base if you're planning day trips to both Sintra and Cascais – the central location saves time.
