Cheap Europcar Car Hire in Coimbra

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Renting away from bustling areas can lower costs and ease parking difficulties.

Some zones may have driving limitations; make sure you’re aware of them.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Coimbra, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Coimbra by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Europcar typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Europcar in Coimbra. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.
