Wow, I've never had a car rental experience as great as this one. We arrived at 9:30 am to pick up…read moreour one night rental. There was no line and the man behind the counter was super pleasant and explained everything to us very politely. We were traveling between Porto and Lisbon, with stops at Nazare, Fatima, and a few other places. The Sixt employee was so helpful, offering suggestions for interesting places to stop along our route, and explaining how the gas and tolls work in Portugal. Better yet, he extended our rental return time at no extra charge. Our car was ready to go, in very good condition and we had a great experience with this Sixt location!

Not so many options as the garage is relatively small. Went for a manual gearbox and smaller car, as my medium hybrid was not ready. That is cool for me as I just saved €100. In Europe automatic cars always commands a big premium price. I also recommend that you take the e-Tokenservice to automatically pay the motorway fees.

Porto is Portugal's second city but its airport is the best…read more Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport services both domestic and international flights with one modern well-organized terminal. We arrived in the busy mid-morning and it was a quick exit from the gate to the arrival area and then out of the airport. We were already in the EU Schengen zone from a domestic flight but the security and signage are well-streamlined at this airport. The airport feels modern and large, with connection directly to the historic downtown. You can take the purple metro line via light rail from the airport to Trindade within 30 minutes and then transfer to the yellow line for the more central Aliados, Sao Bento or Jardim do Morro stations. Before exiting the airport, the arrival area has a Tourism Interactive Store where you can pickup the 72h Andante Tour card for about 15 EUR to provide unlimited transit to sightsee. Since the Porto Card now excludes transit, this was a better alternative for us. The side of this store has a huge slanted TV display which you can't miss. Skip it or hit it? There's no need to fret about Porto Airport as it's one of the best in Europe.

This review covers arrival experience…read more Arriving late at 11pm in Porto, our plane from Munich is parked elsewhere, and we are shuttled to the airport itself. Being within the Schengen Area, we are pleasantly dropped off at baggage claim and exited the security area easily, no customs needed. Giant and clear signs marked metro or Uber/Bolt transportation. We booked a car, followed the signs, and were at the dedicated lot in maybe 3 minutes. So easy. Side note: The lot is a bit messy, but that's due to the people, not the airport's fault.

At a bit before 6pm they loaded us onto the boat and then we sat there for over 30 minutes waiting. No explanation. Earlier we had witnessed a fight among the boat crew and those handling the tickets. We saw the crew stomp off... we are guessing the delay involved them finding a new crew. Ahhh Portugal! While entertaining it was an annoying wait. The cruise itself lasted 50 minutes and the scenery was nice but there was no narration regarding what we were seeing - not sure there was supposed to be but this was a miss. Not worth the 14 euros/ person.

Great cruise, 50 minutes to see 6 bridges for only €15. Great price and perfect amount of time to…read moreget a view from the river.

Paulo and his staff were the most professional, flexible, friendly, and understanding business I…read moredealt with during my entire trip. The cars were new, clean, and well-driven. They had two booster seats for my kids as we had requested; and were ALWAYS on time. I hired them to take me from the airport and then on our return; so glad that I did! FIRST time they saved me: I missed my RyanAir flight because (RyanAir being RyanAir) closed my gate early. So I had to catch a later flight that landed in Porto at midnight -- a five hour difference from my original booking! Paulo rearranged my pickup at the last minute for no charge (other than the stated surcharge for late night pick ups, which is published). Alex, the driver, picked us up as scheduled and took us to our apartment with great recommendations for restaurants that we asked for. SECOND time they saved me: I forgot our passports once they dropped me off at the airport on my return. Ricardo, our driver, had already driven to his next client. I called Paulo and he offered to send a driver within 10 minutes to pick me up at the airport and take me back to my rental and then back to the airport again...and only charge me for a one-way trip!!! Even better, it was the boss himself, Paulo, that showed up to drive me in his Mercedes Benz. He was so efficient and friendly that I was able to retrieve my passports and make my flight to my next destination. Paulo was a great guy and great conversation. My only regret was that I should have hired them to drive me to some of the sights around Porto -- like the sardine factory in Matosinhos; the Super Bock brewery ...yeah, I didn't even know about the brewery until Paulo showed me on our way back to the airport. I wish I could have taken these guys to each of my remaining cities on my trip. I would have no hesitation to hire them again!
