Car Hire in Setúbal Center

Setúbal is a lively port city 50 km south of Lisbon, known for its fresh fish, Arrábida Nature Park and as a gateway to the Tróia Peninsula. With a total of 11 rental companies in the center, you have one of the best selections in the region outside Lisbon. Along Avenida Luísa Todi, the city's beautiful waterfront promenade, you'll find restaurants with fresh fish and views over the Sado River.

Parque Natural da Arrábida begins just 10 km south and offers dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear water at beaches like Portinho da Arrábida. Rent a smaller car if you're driving the narrow roads down to Arrábida's beaches – buses and traffic can make it tight.
