KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Braga
- If you’re thinking about car hire in Braga, you can expect to find this is a wise way to get around the city and explore the surrounding areas. Because the public transport system in the city is dominated by buses, you’d likely need to rely on the bus schedule to get around if you’re not driving a car. So, take advantage of the freedom a hire car will give you when visiting Braga and be able to explore other nearby destinations, such as Povoa de Varzim on the coast, which is only around 30min away by car.
- When arranging car hire in Braga, you can find great deals and plenty of options from car hire agencies based at Porto International Airport (OPO), which is a nearby airport to Braga. From here, you can collect your hire car and then drive to Braga in around 40min. At the airport, you can locate the car hire companies in the arrivals hall of the terminal building, on the ground floor. To collect your vehicle, there is a shuttle bus service available to take you from the airport to the car hire parking areas.
- For Braga car hire, make sure that you are aware of the different restrictions around the city for cars. Keep an eye out for vehicle restriction signs in the old city centre; there are plenty of one-way streets and pedestrianised areas in this part of the city, and you don’t want to get stuck trying to find alternative routes while tackling narrow streets with plenty of people.
- When driving around Braga, you’ll likely come across some difficulties when navigating the city during rush hour in the mornings and early evenings, as there will be plenty of traffic and you won’t be surrounded by the most patient of drivers on their way to or from work. Roads to avoid in particular, if you can, are the main roads of Rua Fernando Castico linking with Rua da Feira and Rua de Sao Martinho. Another road that is worth avoiding during these times is the main road going through the city centre, known as the N103.
- Book your car hire in Braga at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
