SIXT services in Sintra

Whether you’re stopping over on a holiday tour of the region or spending more time in this historic town, you can hire a car in Sintra for however long suits you, from a one-day rental to a long-term rental. We offer a range of bookable extras, so if you need a child seat or a sat nav unit simply let us know when you make your reservation. If you want to splash out, we can even provide sports models and powerful convertibles. If luxury cruising is more your style you can hire a saloon, and families or tour groups can choose a multi-seater like a minibus.

What to do while in Sintra

The tourist hub of the town is the cobbled square of cafes, bars and shops outside the Palácio Nacional de Sintra. It’s in the old district of Sintra Vila and the palace itself has the unique conical twin chimneys that are the town’s hallmark. From there, make your way up to Castelo dos Muoros, the 8th-century Moorish castle on a craggy hill behind the old town area. Then take a drive into the foothills of Serre de Sintra to visit another local showpiece, the gardens of Monserrate.

Winter 2024 in Sintra

The climate is temperate, so winter won’t put a dent in your sightseeing. With Sintra car hires sorted, visit the spooky gothic Quinta da Regaleira mansion – you may recognise it from the odd Hollywood thriller. An incongruous attraction in this historic town is the News Museum, spotlighting the role of media and digital communication in modern society. There’s also the extraordinarily colourful Palácio da Pena, a palace towering over the town, with views as far as Lisbon almost 18 miles away.

SIXT Car Hire Sintra

SIXT car hire in Sintra is tailored towards the enjoyment of the town and its surrounding areas. Set on the lower slopes of the Sintra Mountains in Portugal, there are plenty of opportunities to hire something like an MPV and explore attractions off the beaten track above the town. Otherwise, a compact car will help around the older parts with streets built before cars were imagined. We carry premium vehicles with brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi at accessible prices – with SIXT you get affordable luxury. Language won’t be a problem either, as all our branch agents speak fluent English. We’re conveniently situated near the main transport centre of Sintra.

Easy to book online and Duarte was very friendly and efficient (and also spoke fluent English). Didn't try to upsell us and the car was clean and in good shape.

The SUV completely filled our needs. It was clean and comfortable and had plenty of room for our luggage for four. Our check-in agent was very helpful and made sure that we were set up for English and understood the GPS system. The return at the airport was as easy as it gets. Great experience.

We are expats in Cascais. We've needed rental van to help us move our stuff. None of the other 'Big Rental Companies' or local ones have helped, had availability or even picked up their phones. As a last hope we've tried Sixt and it was absolutely amazing. I did not expect this professional, smooth and friendly service. We had Bruno as a rep. helping us, he was fluent in English , friendly and made it very easy and quick for us. The van was very modern, new and comfortable for long drive. When we returned the van manager of Bruno welcomed us and made it very quick to hand out the keys. This was absolutely thrilling and happy experience for us and from now on when we need a car, Sixt is the only one we will choose.
