How old do you have to be to rent a car in Coimbra?
If you're 18 and over, you can rent a car in Coimbra. Be aware that most rental suppliers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Carefully read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any problems when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Coimbra?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Coimbra?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Portugal — the same as in the States. Motoring around Coimbra won't be exactly the same as home, though. It's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the local road rules.

You can. We partner with trusted providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many categories of cars. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every bit of Coimbra — or beyond!
Where can I find a Coimbra car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Coimbra outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
