English Minivan for 5–8 travellers
Five or more of you travelling to Coimbra? A minivan keeps everything inside the vehicle. Check our fleet · Minibus with driver in Porto
Coimbra, an hour and a half south of Porto, revolves around its 13th-century university: the tower above the Mondego, the Joanina Library and fado sung by students in black capes. When you book with Zonetransfers, your driver stands at the baggage-hall exit at Porto with your name for the ride to Coimbra, from €189 per vehicle.
From Porto Airport the transfer heads straight south on the A1; in 1 h 25 min your driver drops you in the Baixa, the university's upper town or across the river in Santa Clara. Distance: around 132 km, over 1 h 25 min, with up to four of you sharing a €189 fare. Zonetransfers sends your voucher with a 24/7 phone number.

Coimbra sits halfway between Porto and Lisbon, so many travellers spend a night here instead of making the trip in one go.
Book the Joanina Library slot in advance: entry is timed.
Split the journey: Porto–Coimbra, then Coimbra–Lisbon.
Steep streets in the upper town: pack light or let us drop you close.
Wherever you sleep in Coimbra, the car takes you there. Some places with real character:
Palace with gardens linked to the story of Pedro and Inês de Castro.
Modern, with a spa and river views.
1926 art deco gem with a dome and bridge views.
The end-of-year student festival fills the city with students and concerts for a week. If you arrive then, book early and give us your hotel name.
Porto Airport has a single terminal, so every flight, low-cost or not, comes out into the same arrivals hall. From there it is one ride to Coimbra.
Want a day out without anyone having to drive? A driver for hire from Porto waits while you visit.
The return from Coimbra to Porto Airport works best leaving 3 h 30 min ahead of a flight within Europe's Schengen zone and 4 h if your flight goes through outbound passport control, as UK, Irish and US flights do.

Yes, for the university and old town. You can book two transfers with a night in Coimbra.
From €189 per vehicle for up to 4 passengers, A1 toll included.
Once through the baggage-hall doors, your driver is there, name sign in hand. Every airline uses the same terminal at Porto, low-cost included.
It depends on the trip: Quinta das Lágrimas, Vila Galé Coimbra or Hotel Astória are good choices. Whichever you book, your driver goes to its entrance.
We check your flight status before the driver sets off, so a late landing at Porto simply shifts the meeting time; you have an hour of free waiting from the moment you land. Very long delays, over 90 minutes, are rearranged with you directly.
No; in Portugal tipping a pre-paid transfer is a personal choice, motorway tolls and bags included.
Type in your flight and the address and the fare is fixed from that moment.
