You'll find a wide range of vehicle categories to choose from when you book a car hire at Vigo airport. While we can't promise a specific make of car, we're confident you'll be impressed by our commitment to quality. For those travelling on business there are comfortable saloons like the BMW Series 3 and Mercedes C-Class. The Sixt fleet also includes compact rentals like the Ford Ka, perfect for short trips and exploring the town, as well as luxury 4x4s that make short work of the local hilly terrain. Or you can feel the wind in your hair in one of our chic convertibles. And let's not forget our attractive array of extras, including Sat Nav, additional driver and a comprehensive package of insurance protection for complete peace of mind, plus snow chains and ski racks for excursions into the mountains. We also offer a flexible 24 hour pickup service, so you can collect your car any time of the day or night.
Vigo airport VGO (also known as Vigo-Peinador airport) lies 5 miles east of the city centre. From the terminal, motorists enjoy rapid access onto Autopista AP-9, which swings past the Lavadores district, taking you to the coast in just 15 minutes. There are also fast motorway links to other resorts up and down Spain's Atlantic seaboard. The Sixt offices are located in the airport arrival hall, which you'll see immediately after exiting security.
A car rental is a must to really make the most of this multi-faceted city and its surroundings, whether you're interested in weaving your way through the atmospheric lanes of the Casco Vello (the historic centre), checking out the boutiques in the Porta do Sol shopping district or enjoying a seafood lunch in the old fishing quarter. In particular, lovers of authentic Spanish cuisine shouldn't miss the Calle de las Ostras, a lively market where street vendors cook up delicious fresh oysters, octopus and giant prawns. Meanwhile, history buffs should make time for a drive up to the Castro, a seventeenth century fortress with stunning gardens and panoramic views. Or for pure relaxation, head to one of the local Blue Flag-rated beaches, the best-known of which is Samil, which also boasts tennis courts, picnic areas, cafes and even a skating rink. Outside the town are many hiking trails, or if winter sports are more your style, you might want to plan a road trip to go skiing in the Serra da Estrela across the border in Portugal.
