Movyng Rent a Car runs a small but growing branch in Aveiro, the Portuguese “Venice” 70 km south of Porto Airport (OPO). Daily rates start at €16 / $17 off-season and rise to €38-50 / $41-54 in peak summer. Their Aveiro fleet is mid-sized (~40 vehicles) and aimed at budget travellers exploring the Beira Litoral coast and central Portugal. Google rating sits at 4.0 / 5 across 320+ reviews in May 2026 — fair, with the usual counter-pressure complaints when the Plus cover is declined.
Office near Coimbra-B train station, 5 minutes walk from the Aveiro canals. Open Mon-Sat 09:00-19:00, Sunday by request. Best option if you arrive by train from Lisbon or Porto (Aveiro has a major railway station on the Linha do Norte).
Movyng does not have a permanent counter at Porto Airport, but they can arrange a shuttle pickup for an additional €25-35 / $27-38 fee. Often slower than booking direct at OPO with Drivalia, Hertz or Europcar.
Mostly compact and mid-size cars suited to coastal driving and city use. Fleet age averages 18 months — older than Europcar's national fleet but well-maintained.

Compare Movyng with the local alternatives
Book online with all options confirmed. Walk to the Aveiro desk on Av. Dr Lourenço Peixinho (5 min from the train station). Bring passport, licence and the credit card used to book. Contract signing takes 5-10 minutes; walk-around 5 minutes; then you drive off in the lot behind the office.
Standard CDW and theft cover come included with €1,200-1,800 / $1,310-1,960 excess. Movyng's “Cobertura Plus” reduces it to €0 for €11-15 / $12-16 per day at the counter. Third-party standalone (RentalCover, iCarhireinsurance) is half the price for the same protection.

Reasonably. 4.0 / 5 on Google across 320+ reviews. Most complaints concern counter Plus-cover upselling, not the cars themselves.
