Definitely a recommendation! The van was great and thanks to it we had an amazing vacation in Portugal. The staff is very nice, helpful and responsive.

To travel "Portugal by Van" has been a perfect experience We booked a 3 seats and used as a couple but, for few days, also my son Andrea, joined and the Van was comfortable also for the 3 of us. The luxury is that, by Van, you may join places so beautiful and sleep there...great ocean view. See pictures here. It was our first time to drive a camper van but - thanks to Sofie and Andrè (who gave us all instructions) - the experience have been smooth and unforgettable! I will surely recommend it to anybody.

Amazing campers, great staff! Everything went smoothly and we had the time of our lives :) Highly recommended if you are looking for a camper van in Portugal!

We (2 person) rented this camper in June 2018 for 1 week and travelled with it along the coast between Lisbon and Porto. And it was AMAZING! Camper has all we needed and we never had any trouble with it. It also easily could fit our two surfboards (6'4'' + 7'2'') inside the cabin while driving/sleeping. We'll rent it again :) (Hopefully in 2019 already ;) )

The transfer, the briefing, the most detailed, I've never experienced anything like that! PortugalbyVan was a nice experience, the features in the van, 2 USB ports, 12 volts Interface with which I could run my notebook, and the service to questions via whatsapp, I got a quick answer.

We had a great time in Portugal with our Van. Everything went smooth and Rui + Sofia are just super nice and helpful. Would book any time again! :)

There are many great ways to see Portugal. Renting a campervan from PORTUGAL BY VAN is NOT one of them. They are a budget campervan company and you truly get what you pay for, which is nothing by a headache and an empty wallet. We had one of their Vans for 8 nights and that was 7 too many. The mattress was about 3cm thick, there isn’t a fridge (despite being told there was one), bedding is not included and there is hardly any room to store anything. To top it off, the way they treated us was nothing short of deplorable. Sofia, the main point of contact, was a nightmare to deal with. They do not accept foreign credit cards and the “security deposit” is actually just a payment that they are supposed to pay back after the van is returned. We paid 2000 euro for this “deposit” which took 3 international bank transfers at $30/transfer and then when it came time to get the money back they shorted us because they expected us to pay their bank fees as well. There were red flags all over this trip. I am sure there are great rental companies throughout the country, PORTUGAL BY VAN IS NOT ONE OF THEM. Consider yourself warned.

We rented a van from Portugal by Van in August 2018 for 8 days and it was truly one of the best travel experience we ever had. We were travelling with a baby and everything went better than we expected. We did have a mix-up with the times of departure and arrival at first but they made great efforts to make sure that we were satisfied and they delivered. To me, it's when problems arise that you see how good a company is and I am there to tell you that they are exceptional. The person that greeted us when picking up the van and bringing it back was extremely nice and helpful. He was very thorough in his explanations and helped us around the neighborhood to find a grocery store and a restaurant. The vans were in good shape. A few things didn't work perfectly, but not to a point that it became a problem. It is to be expected from vans that are used so much by different people anyway. I'm sure it's the same for all companies. They offer the Via Verde system so you don't have to worry about tolls on any highway in Portugal. The wi-fi worked well, the solar shower was helpful. Do bring additionnal sheets or a sleeping bag because nights can get cold even in August and the two sheets they provide might not be enough. We parked overnight on beach parkings in several spots and we never had any trouble. We used the Park4night app on our phone to find the best places. I highly recommend touring Portugal in a van and if you do, you really should trust Portugal by Van. Details of the pictures included in this review: - From the beach: Praia de Marinha - Seaside rocky cliffs: Cabo Sardão - Umbrellas over street: Santiago do Cacém - Van at night: Praia da Fonte da Telha - Van with huge beach (x2): Praia Da Bordeira, Carrapateira

Perfekt ! Absolut unkompliziert.

Auch bei Problemen wurde eine Lösung gefunden, die für beide Seiten Akzeptabel war.

I genuinely thought the reviews were fake before booking with this company because they were so consistently good! After renting a van from them for a week I can confirm that they are worth the consistent 5 stars. They literally have the best customer service I have experienced from any sort of rental company. They don't make you feel ripped off adding on extras or make you panicked about making a little scratch, they are professional, but so friendly and calm. The van is just what you need if you want to be outside exploring and parking up in remote spots for sunsets. I will definitely be sending people their way and returning in the future. Thanks very much guys for such a great experience!

Portugal by Van est une entreprise locale. J'ai été impressionnée par la qualité du service donné par Teresa avant, pendant et après ma réservation. Elle a toujours répondu clairement à toutes mes questions. La caravane quatre places était propre et bien équipée. Pour un meilleur confort, je vous suggère d'être seulement deux ou trois adultes dans cette caravane, les lits ne sont pas très larges et le lit du haut est un peu moins long. Par contre, comme il n'y a pas de système de chauffage intégré, c'était un peu frais pour la fin du mois de février. Malgré plusieurs petites routes très étroites dans certains villages, on a réussi à bien se diriger et à se stationner. Je vous conseille, par contre, de vous stationner à l'entrée des petits villages et de vous promener à pied, c'est plus agréable. Tous les stationnements étaient gratuits, sauf un à 1,50 euro. En passant, on a fait environ 1 000 km à travers ce beau pays ! Merci Portugal by Van !

Portugal by van were the best , they were so helpful in every way. We enjoyed our trip so much in there spacious clean vans . The nicest people to deal with . Hope to see you next time Theresa!

Problemlose Übergabe und Abgabe des Campers. Ausstattung des Fahrzeuges eher einfach, aber für wärmere Tage vollkommen ausreichend.

I am French and my partner Australian it was the first time for us to visit Portugal (we took the van for 16 days). I warmly recommend to everyone to hire a van with "Portugal by Van". We had an amazing experience, Sofia and all the team are really friendly and reliable. This country is just beautiful and the van was great to travel with, definitely the best way to discover this amazing country :D Thank you again guys, this experience will stay in our hearts forever and I just wish I can do it again :)

Me and my girlfriend booked a van with PBV for a week in October 2019. Since the beginning Sofia gave me clear indications of their process through e-mails. We took the Fiat Ducato with surfboards and internet. Once in Portugal, I took possession of the van in Faro and returned it in Odivelas. When we noticed there was a mistake with the items we had reserved, Sofia immediately came to me with alternative solutions and commercial gesture. The problem had been solved before anything. When we gave back the van Sofia explained me their process regarding the 2k euros payment I had made and that they had to give me back, which they did in time. I basically think and feel PBV is a great, friendly and reliable company from A to Z for all of those who want to hit the road with their vans, that are very well thought and equipped!

Just back from a trip using Portugal by Van and cannot recommend them more. We had the most incredible time, the van was extremely reliable and roomy, Sofia and Igor and the team were so so helpful and Portugal was an absolute dream. We will be back to do the south coast as soon as we can!

Rundum zufrieden. Kontakt, Reaktionsfreudigkeit auf Anfragen, alles klasse. Wir bekamen den den Van pünktlich nach Porto geliefert, um von dort unsere Reise zu starten. Der Van selbst war in gutem Zustand (130.000km Laufleistung), das Zubehör war allerdings etwas in die Tage gekommen. 1 Stuhl kaputt, Töpfe sehr gebraucht und ohne Deckel und leider keine Schalen (für Müsli oder Ähnliches). Matratzen schienen ok, aber unsere Rücken sind wohl mittlerweile etwas wählerischer (wir hatten ziemlich schnell Rückenschmerzen). Beim Rest war alles top, hatten unsere Kaution auch zügig wieder und wurden sogar zur nächsten Metro gefahren. Können PBV nur empfehlen!

(We did not rent a van in the end). Before deciding what to do on our holidays wewere in contact with Portugal by Van. We received fast and great replies within just a few hours. Sofia helped us with all of our questions and made suggestions that would fit our plans. In the end we decided something else for our trip. This company is legit. Would definitely reconsider in the future.

Excellent experience, effective and personal communication with Sofia. The van was in a perfect condition! 100% value for money and more than recommended! Thanks once again for everything, guys!

Best van for a roadtrip! We took it for an adventure in the North of Portugal and it was the best home on wheels we could get. Super spacious, tidy, functional, comfy beds, all amenities to cook and super economic to drive :)

A very nice team, comprehensive and effective. Really good communication and exchanges per mail, phone and sms. The camper was quite new and easy to drive. We've apreciate the solar panel which charge the secondary battery, we never had to ask for electricity at the camping-place. Maybe few little things to add as basic equipments, for example basin, sponge and a strainer.

We booked the camper for a longer weekend to explore the whole coast from Peniche down to Sagres. The team is very nice and helpful. The Camper has everything needed, was spacy enough for luggage, surfboards etc. It drives well and in comparison to some private Campers doesnt have any issues. Recommended - CU next time :)

Portugal by Van as a great service and „experience-generator“! We (2 people) have been travelling with the 3-seat-van through Portugal. The communication with Sofia always was fast and easy. She answered all of our question before the actual booking. We picked-up the van in Porto, as we started our trip there. The delivering person was perfectly in time. The return of the car was fast and easy. These small damages, we oversaw at the delivery, were no problem. The car was in good condition and reliable. The price of the headlight bulb, we fixed during the travel, was refunded by sophia afterwards. The deposit was fastly transfered back to our bank account. Portugal by van is perfectly reliable and there is always someone to talk to, if there arise any questions. We really enjoyed our holiday „hosted“ by PbV – it was a great experience and the service of sophia and her team is more than recommendable. The reason for rating one star less is due to the point, that we had to „find“ the small bumps on our own at delivery. It would have been 5 stars, if these were already registered on the handover protocol. Thanks you very much and all the best Sophia and Benjamin

Estamos adorando a experiência, está sendo incrível!

Camper was in weak condition: radio, cooking facility, surfboard mounting and air condition were completely broken or at least didn't work properly. And they provided a wrong bill at the end! So after all I would not recommend them. Two stars only for a nice crew.
