Porto City Car Hire

The Porto Airport area offers a complement to the airport's own rental desks, with one rental company located in the commercial zones just south of OPO. The location near the Maia municipality coordinates provides easy access to A28 and A41. It's a good option if you prefer to pick up your car in a quieter setting away from the terminal's rush hour traffic.

The area around Porto Airport is largely part of Maia, a suburb with good infrastructure and shopping including NorteShopping (approximately 5 km south). From here it's 12 km to Porto's city center and 8 km to Matosinhos beach. Contact the rental company in advance to confirm the exact pickup location, as the address may differ from the terminal.

Matosinhos beaches are a perfect first stop – just 10 minutes' drive west. Keep cash available for any parking fees in the area. Do prices differ from rental companies at the airport terminal?

Often yes – companies outside the terminal sometimes have lower prices but require transportation to the pickup location via shuttle or taxi. How do I get from the airport to the rental company in the airport area? Most companies in the area offer free shuttle service from the terminal.

Verify this at booking. Is it easy to navigate from the airport area to Porto city center? Yes, A28 leads directly into Porto and takes approximately 20 minutes without traffic.
