KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sintra

  • Car hire in Sintra is one of the popular ways to explore this beautiful and unique civil parish in Portugal. It allows you to take control of your holiday and explore the fairytale castles, enchanting gardens and beautiful scenery without trying to figure out the local transport schedule or haggling with a taxi driver over prices. One of the most sought-after road trips from Sintra is a roughly 40min drive to Lisbon, a highly visited and well-liked city in the country. Trying to catch a taxi or take the bus there can be a pain, so stick to your hired car.
  • Car hire in Sintra is possible, but since Lisbon Airport (LIS) is likely to be your arrival and departure point for your visit, hiring a car at the airport takes away the need to get a taxi or public transport to Sintra. Several of the companies offering car hire in Sintra are available in the arrival hall of Lisbon Airport. It's wise to book online, through KAYAK, to avoid availability issues and to save time. You'll be met at the airport by a representative and escorted to your vehicle.
  • The roads in Sintra can be quite narrow, so be prepared for a fair amount of traffic. The city centre is also a restricted area, so avoid driving around it. Sintra car hire is often best reserved for those long-distance trips. If you're driving in the city, be aware of pedestrians walking on the road and watch out for locals running parking scams; they’ll tell you that you aren't allowed to park somewhere unless you pay them.
  • A difficult thing about driving in Sintra is the quality of the roads and the winding, hilly nature of the terrain. The roads are small and the area is mountainous, so there are long stretches of road outside the city that wind up and down the hills, which can be difficult to navigate. When it comes to driving in the city, the small roads aren't always easy to move through and often lead to traffic jams. There are also countless pedestrians, and the city centre is a restricted zone with various one-ways that don't have signage.
  • Small rental cars in Sintra are around 83% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Sintra?

    Since you'll be driving in an area with very narrow roads, opting for a compact hire car is a better option. These are easier to find parking for and easier to navigate the streets with. If you're travelling with a large group of people, consider hiring multiple cars rather than a big SUV or 4x4. If you need to hire a sedan, look into the slimmer models, just to make it easier on yourself and others. Regardless of the car you have, try to avoid heading into the city centre.

  • What’s the speed limit in Sintra?

    Speed limits in Sintra are often strictly enforced, especially for non-local drivers, so it's good to be aware of what these are in different areas. When driving in the city and other urban areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h, while the surrounding highways and expressways are usually capped at 100 km/h. There are a few expressways that have a limit of 120 km/h. These limits will all be displayed on road signs, so look out for them and adhere to them.

  • Where are the best places to park in Sintra?

    Finding parking in Sintra is known to be difficult because of the narrow roads and amount of traffic. There used to be free parking available in and around the city centre, but that's fallen away. Most of the parking available is in private car parks, which charge you per hour or in 15min increments. There are several car parks close to the Portela de Sintra train station, in the city centre.
