Questions

Common questions about our pick-up locations

Is there a campervan rental near me?

We rent from two bases in Portugal: Faro and Lisbon. Most people choose whichever airport they can fly into. Faro is 2 km from Faro Airport, about five minutes by taxi. Lisbon is around 30 minutes from Lisbon Airport.

Can I start in Faro and return in Lisbon (or vice versa)?

Yes, in both directions, subject to availability. The one-way fee is €300, which covers bringing the van back to its home base.

On a trip of ten days or more it usually pays for itself: you drive the country once instead of doubling back, and you finish where you actually want to finish.

Is campervan pick-up or drop-off available in Porto or other Portuguese cities?

At the moment, campervan pick-up and drop-off are only available in Faro and Lisbon, Portugal. However, Portugal has an a good transport network, including trains, buses and FlixBus connections, making it easy to travel to your next destination after returning the campervan.

What driving licence is required to rent a campervan in Portugal?

A valid driving licence is required to rent a campervan in Portugal. EU licences are accepted. If your licence is issued outside the EU or not written in the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit (IDP) or certified translation may be required. Please check this information with your embassy in Europe before travelling.

How do I get from the airport to the pick-up point?

Faro: we are 2 km from the terminal, roughly 5 minutes and about €6 by taxi, Bolt or Uber. Lisbon: about 30 minutes from the airport across the Vasco da Gama bridge, usually €20 to €25.

There is no free airport transfer. If you would rather pick up and drop off the van yourself at Faro Airport instead of at the base, that is available for €49.

What time can I collect and return the van?

Check-in is any time from 14:00 on the day your rental starts, and check-out any time up to 11:00 on the day it ends. That applies at both bases. Check-ins from 17:30 are free self check-ins: we charge no late check-in fee, unlike many campervan rentals.

Landing after midnight? Choose 24:00 or later as your pick-up time in the booking form. The earliest return time it accepts is 04:00. If your flight falls outside that, book the nearest slot and message us and we will sort it.

Are the vans and prices the same at both locations?

Not always. Which vans are available depends on your dates and the base you choose, and rates can vary between locations. Put your dates into the booking form and it shows what is free, and the price, at each.

Which should I choose if I can fly into either?

If the trip is about beaches and reliable sun, start in Faro. If you want a mix (a city day, surf on the west coast, hills and vineyards), start in Lisbon. If you have ten days or more, do one and end at the other: one-way rentals run in both directions for a €300 fee.
