Rent a car Coimbra: start your trip from the train station or the city centre
Arriving in Coimbra by train? Picture walking out of the station and taking a shuttle that takes you straight to your reserved car. With Drivalia, rent a car in Coimbra is simple and flexible: you can pick up your vehicle in the heart of the city or choose this handy service right outside the station.
In this article, you’ll discover both options and how to choose the one that best suits your journey.
Where is Drivalia’s rent-a-car in Coimbra?
Drivalia makes renting a car in Coimbra easy, offering two strategic options:
- City-centre branch
Located at Rua Avelar Brotero, 22, next to the Municipal Stadium, this branch is ideal if you’re already staying in Coimbra or nearby. It’s easy to reach, close to the historic centre and well served by public transport. - Virtual branch at Coimbra Train Station
Designed for travellers arriving by train, this option lets you book online and, on arrival, take a Drivalia vehicle straight to the mobility store in the city centre to pick up your car.
With these two alternatives, Drivalia caters both to those already in the city and to passengers arriving by train.
How does renting a car in Coimbra with Drivalia work?
More than the location, the experience matters. In Coimbra, Drivalia streamlines the process in every scenario.
Car rental in Coimbra (city centre)
If you’re already enjoying the city on foot and plan to explore the surroundings later, the store on Rua Avelar Brotero is the ideal solution. You can book online in advance and choose the most suitable car.
This is a practical choice if you don’t need a car every day. Imagine spending your first day between the University, the Joanina Library and Portugal dos Pequenitos, and only afterwards heading to the Serra da Lousã or Figueira da Foz. In that case, it makes sense to pick up the vehicle only when you’re actually going to use it.
Rent a car Coimbra at the train station
Travelling by train from Lisbon, Porto or another city to Coimbra? You don’t need to waste time looking for transport to reach your car. Simply book online under “Coimbra B – Train Station” and, as you leave the platform, a Drivalia vehicle will be there for pickup.
Within minutes, you’ll be at our store to collect the car you chose, ready to explore Coimbra and the surrounding region.
It’s the perfect solution for tourists who want to start their trip immediately or professionals who can’t afford to lose time.
