Excellent n easy pick up n drop off.
Pros: Reserved full size sedan automatic, as cheap as manual when rented. They subbed a luxury automatic sedan. Nice....just large for narrow streets.
Cons: Extremely poor customer service. The wait was about 90 minutes to pick up the car; it took them about 15 minutes to process each customer, mostly because of extremely high-pressure attempts to sell expensive CDW. Staff were thoroughly rude and unhelpful.

To navigate through the narrow streets and find one of the scarce parking spaces within the city, travelers should choose a smaller car, if not a two-seater (depending on how much space is needed). Families can opt for a minivan, which will conveniently accommodate the whole family without being too bulky.
All the speed limit signs in Portugal are given in kilometers per hour. For driving within the Old Town and the narrow lanes, walking speed is recommended. Generally 35 kph (ca. 21 mph) is permitted in residential areas. Country roads and urban arterial roads allow between 55 and 88 kph (34-54 mph), whereas on highways drivers can speed up to 120 kph (74 mph). It is, however, always important to look out for speed limit signs and follow them.
Petrol stations alongside the highways are usually open 24/7, but stations within the city normally close at 10 PM and open at 7 AM again. The average price for petrol in Porto is around €1.60 per liter, which is around $1.80.
Porto has some blue zone parking spots, which allow free on-street parking for a limited time. Obtain a cardboard disc at the local police station or ask when picking up the car. Set the clock to when you parked and ensure to return in time. Alternatively, parking lots and garages are always a good option, as on-street parking is limited and other cars may block you if parked on the side of the road.
