Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Portugal

Portugal — a country worth exploring

Portugal's coastline stretches over 1,790 kilometres from the surf beaches of the Algarve to the wild Atlantic shores of the Minho, making it one of Europe's most rewarding countries to explore by road. From Lisbon, the capital, it is roughly 300 km south to Faro and about 370 km north to Porto, so you can cover a remarkable variety of landscapes in a single trip. Along the way, you might visit the fairy-tale palaces of Sintra, the university city of Coimbra, the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley, or the ancient megaliths near Évora. Coastal roads wind past dramatic cliffs at Cabo da Roca — mainland Europe's most westerly point — while inland routes climb through the granite peaks of Serra da Estrela, Portugal's highest mountain range. Many of these roads are well suited to both campervans and larger motorhomes, with good rest areas and well-signposted routes throughout the country. Portugal also benefits from a mild climate that extends the touring season well beyond the summer months, giving you more flexibility when planning your itinerary. Through Yescapa's peer-to-peer platform, you can hire a campervan directly from local owners based across Portugal, choosing from a wide range of vehicle types and sizes to match your travel style and budget.

Best time to visit

Portugal is a wonderful destination for a campervan trip from spring right through to autumn. May and June bring warm, settled weather ideal for exploring the Algarve coast or the Douro Valley before the busiest weeks arrive. Summer is peak season, so booking your hire early through Yescapa gives you access to competitive peer-to-peer prices. September and October are excellent for festivals such as the Festa das Vindimas grape harvest celebrations across the Douro region. Campsites throughout Portugal generally remain open from March to November, with many in the south operating year-round.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Portugal

Portugal's motorway network (autoestradas) is extensive and well maintained. Most major routes, including the A1 between Lisbon and Porto, are tolled. Some toll sections use electronic-only collection, so you will need a pre-paid toll device or register your vehicle online via the Via Verde system. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are typically 90 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on national roads. Rest areas with parking suitable for larger vehicles appear regularly along main routes. Be aware that some older town centres have narrow streets, so plan your route in advance when driving a motorhome.
