The cost of hiring a campervan in Portugal can vary greatly based on factors such as the type of campervan, the hire company, location, the length of the hire period, and the season. Besides the daily hire rate, be sure to account for additional expenses like mileage (some companies offer unlimited mileage, while others do not), insurance, and possibly a deposit.
Typically, campervan hire prices in Portugal range from around €100 to €130 per day for many vehicles, but rates can still be seen anywhere between €50 and €220 per day depending on the season, vehicle type, and how far in advance you book (with some luxury models potentially costing more). Rates are generally lower during the off-peak season.

Many Autoestradas (motorways) are tolled, using either conventional toll booths or electronic-only tolling. Note: several former SCUT motorways became toll-free from 1 January 2025 (including A4 Transmontana/Marão Tunnel, A13/A13-1, A22, A23, A24, A25 and parts of A28). Most campervans/motorhomes are classified as toll Class 2 when the front-axle height is above 1.10 m. Pay with a Via Verde transponder, at pay stations or online for electronic-only sections.
Lisbon operates Reduced Emission Zones (ZER / Zonas de Emissões Reduzidas). On weekdays (07:00–21:00), Zone 1 generally requires at least Euro 3 (post-2000 registration) and Zone 2 at least Euro 2 (post-1996 registration). Check signs before you enter these areas.
Overnight parking is legal for up to 48 hours in the same municipality in an IMT-approved motorhome where there is no local prohibition. This does not apply in Natura 2000 nature reserves, coastal protection areas and other protected areas unless explicitly authorised. Fines are €60–€300 for breaking the 48-hour rule, rising to €120–€600 in protected/coastal zones.
Speed limits for vans under 3.5 tonnes are 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on expressways, 90 km/h on other roads and 50 km/h in towns.
ASA stops (motorhome service areas) are located across mainland Portugal. Many charge €5–12 per night and include water and waste disposal points.
Intermarché supermarkets and motorway service areas often have free waste disposal and fresh-water refill points.
To visit city centres, consider staying at a campsite or motorhome area on the outskirts and using public transport into town. If you use Park-and-Ride sites on Lisbon and Porto metro lines, check vehicle size limits, opening hours, and whether overnight parking is permitted before you arrive.
| Option | Type | Typical features |
|---|---|---|
| ASA motorhome area | Basic stop | Level parking, water, waste dump, €5–12 per night |
| Camping Municipal | Public campsite | Showers, electricity, often within walking distance to town |
| Private 3 ★ or 4 ★ campsite | Full-service park | Larger spaces, swimming pool or restaurant, optional electrical hookups |
Área de Serviço para Autocaravanas is the Portuguese term for a basic motorhome service area. This is similar to a French Aire or a German Stellplatz.
Wild/free camping in Portugal is not generally permitted, and enforcement can be strict in certain areas. If you’re caught breaking the rules, you may receive an on-the-spot fine.
Portugal has many campsites across the country, with prices varying widely by region and season.
All drivers must have a current and full driver’s licence to hire a vehicle. Drivers are allowed to drive up to 6 months in Portugal without an International Driving Permit (IDP).
In addition, some campervan rental suppliers require the driver to have held their licence for a certain period of time (1–3 years).
Note: policies vary from supplier to supplier. Always check the T&Cs for your rental.
