When booking your car hire in Guimarães, it is good to know that the town has narrow streets and a historic city centre, which may have limited parking options. Opting for a smaller-sized Guimarães car hire, such as a compact car or a mid-size sedan, can make it easier to navigate the city streets and find parking spaces. If you are planning to explore the surrounding areas or take longer trips, choosing a car with good fuel efficiency can help you save on fuel costs. Look for vehicles with economical engines, or consider renting a hybrid or electric car, if available.
