Take the train from the airport, and have a car waiting for you at the station when you arrive. So hit the road—your perfect Portuguese adventure is waiting.
Travel in Portugal is an adventure that calls for flexibility and freedom. With its unique landscapes, charming towns, and endless opportunities for exploration, it can be hard to choose the perfect mode of travel. And, it lets you avoid Lisbon traffic, and not have to drive after a long flight. So who says you have to pick between the scenic train rides and the convenience of a car? Enter the CP/Avis Kit—your ticket to seamless travel that blends the best of both worlds.
Here is how it works....
Imagine starting your journey with a comfortable train ride after a long flight, soaking in the beauty of Portugal’s rolling hills, historic towns, and coastal views. The Oriente Station is just 2 Metro stations from Lisbon Airport. Porto's train station is an easy Metro ride too. You step off the train at your destination, and waiting for you is a rental car ready to take you wherever your curiosity leads. This isn’t just convenience; it’s the perfect blend of efficient travel and spontaneous road trip vibes. And, you save on the tolls!
Available options include:
- KIT CP/AVIS COMFORT: Get behind the wheel of a Peugeot 208 or similar for €40.48.
- KIT CP/AVIS EXECUTIVE: Upgrade your drive with a Peugeot 308 or Renault Megane, complete with GPS, for €58.19.
- KIT CP/AVIS ECOLOGICAL: Opt for the eco-friendly Toyota C-HR Hybrid for €63.88, perfect for travelers who care about sustainability.
Why Both?
Trains in Portugal are known for their comfort and panoramic views. The Alfa Pendular and Intercidades services offer top-tier travel experiences, and the journey itself is a highlight, whether you’re heading south from Lisbon Oriente or up to Porto Campanhã. But once you arrive, having a car at your disposal means you can dive deeper into the local culture—visit the hidden gems off the beaten path, make spontaneous stops at roadside cafés, and explore beaches and vineyards without restriction.
Special Perks
For even more savings, combine your CP/Avis Kit with a Promo train ticket and receive up to 65% off the train fare. It’s the ideal solution for travelers who love value as much as adventure.
Things to Note:
- Fuel, tolls and additional equipment (like child seats or Wi-Fi) are extra.
- If you're under 25, a young driver fee applies.
- Check AVIS’s terms or call their customer service for more details.
How to Book
Booking is simple. Secure your CP/Avis Kit up to 60 days in advance through the CP online ticket office or by calling their customer center. Just keep in mind that car pick-up depends on the station’s AVIS desk hours.
