Formally known as the Francisco de Sa Carneiro Airport, the Porto Airport is the international air travel entryway for Portugal’s Greater Porto region. Nestled about six miles away from the city centre, it is well connected to Porto and other nearby destinations by road, which makes it convenient for you to use car hire at Oporto airport Portugal (GRU) to arrive at your chosen destination.

From the airport, you can also reach other notable destinations of the region including Vila Nova da Gaia, Santa Cruz, Leca, and Custoias. If you intend to visit each of those places by yourself more conveniently, opt for car rental at Oporto airport Portugal (GRU) so you won’t have to follow bus and train timetables just to get to any of those places.

Easily accessible from the airport with cheap car hire at Oporto airport Portugal (GRU) are some of the finest beaches of the region particularly those in Matosinhos and Espinho. You can also drive to Gaia if you want to find more beaches in the southern part of the region.

Porto itself may be difficult to drive in with steep roads, narrow streets, and a maze of cobblestone lanes so car rental at Oporto airport Portugal (GRU) is perhaps more suitable for driving outside the city. Some of the top destinations for day trips outside Porto include Braga, Ponte de Lima, Matosinhos, and the Geres National Park.
