Our experience with Portugal by Van was great. Everything was as agreed. The van was extra functional,clean and had everything we needed for our 9 days vacations. Teresa was very helpful and we had a perfect communication. The safety deposit was returned (exact amount) 5 working days after we had returned the van. All in all,I totally recommend Portugal by van. See you 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!

(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.

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 had a great time with the van! I can totally recommend it.

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 ;) )

Super friendly and competent staff! Their response time via e-mail is fast. The instructions for the van are clear and documented in a video. Very cool! We had a Renault Master (4 seater) which accompanied us for 2 weeks during our stay in Portugal. Reliable car, no issues. The cost-benefit ratio is good. I can strongly recommend it!

We loved our road trip with Portugal by Van! They were such an awesome company with the nicest employees - Teresa in particular was super helpful, friendly, and a great communicator. When we had a minor issue with the van she helped us solve it straight away. The van was really clean and nicely taken care of. We loved being able to explore Portugal in a camper van!

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!

We spent two weeks in the Ducato Van and it was a great experience! The customer service and communication was really good. If you have a question or problem in advance or on the road, Portugal by Van is always available and happy to help out. Would defenitively recommend it.

This is a must do experience

(Translated by Google) Completely satisfied. Contact, responsiveness to inquiries, all great. We got the van delivered on time to Porto to start our journey from there. The van itself was in good condition (130,000km mileage), but the accessories had come a bit in the days. 1 chair broken, pots very used and without lid and unfortunately no bowls (for cereal or similar). Mattresses seemed ok, but our backs are probably a bit more picky now (we had back pain pretty fast). The rest was all top, had our deposit also quickly and were even driven to the next metro. Can only recommend PBV! (Original) 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!

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 :)

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.

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!

Great place to rent a camper, everything went fine. The staff is super friendly! :)

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 bad ana amazing time with the van from Portugal by Van. They did a great job converting the vans, the one we had was in great condition and was practical and comfortable. Teresa helped us out with everything and recommended some great places to go to during our trip. Highly recommend

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.

(Translated by Google) Perfect ! Absolutely straightforward. (Original) Perfekt ! Absolut unkompliziert.

I and my friends spent in the van just few days but it was really nice trip through Portugal. Reservation took just couple of minutes and communication with Teresa was perfect. In the van was everything what we needed so we could enjoy the beauty of portuguese nature. Thank you for opportunity travel with you! 😊

(Translated by Google) We are happy to recommend Portugal By Van to anyone who wants to book a van in Portugal in an uncomplicated manner and at fair prices !!! The van was ideally equipped for our needs and the descriptions on the website. For such a fair price you shouldn't expect luxury, we were still satisfied with everything and nothing was missing. During and before our trip we had support from the team, Teresa is a warm, helpful and trustworthy person. So we never had to have concerns. We are happy to support this small, down-to-earth company, which is run by honest people. You will not regret it, we will be happy to come back !! (Original) Sehr gerne empfehlen wir Portugal By Van an jeden weiter, der auf unkomplizierte Weise und zu fairen Preisen einen Van in Portugal buchen möchte!!! Der Van war ideal für unsere Bedürfnisse und den Beschreibungen auf der Webseite entsprechend ausgestattet. Für so einen fairen Preis darf man keinen Luxus erwarten, wir waren trotzdem mit allem zufrieden und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Wärend und vor unserem Trip hatten wir Support vom Team, Teresa ist ein herzlicher, hilfsbereiter und vertrauenswürdiger Mensch. Sodass, wir nie Bedenken haben mussten. Unterstützt gerne dieses kleine bodenständige Unternehmen, welches von ehrlichen Menschen betrieben wird. Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen, gerne kommen wir wieder!!

Our vacation with the van was a real highlight. From booking to pick-up and drop-off, everything went very well. Teresa was always easy to reach and very friendly. The van was perfect, very big and easy to drive. We were very satisfied with everything and would do it again everytime.

It was the second time we hire a van from Portugal by Van. Excellent service, communication was easy and fast and staff was very helpful. The van itself was very comfortable and in good condition (took a 3 places van for 2 people). I totally recommend Portugal by Van for your next trip in Portugal!

I had a great time exploring Portugal with Portugal by Van! Teresa was wonderful to work with, very kind and easy to communicate with. I booked one of the smaller vans, which was great for one person. It’s simple but comfortable and in good condition, had everything I needed. I appreciated that the prices were very affordable compared to other van companies I looked at, a great value. Just make sure to get the extras you need, like bedding. I also got WiFi which was very helpful. Highly recommend. Obrigada!

Wonderful experience! The staff was helpful, friendly and kind, quick to respond and caring. The trip itself was even better - the freedom to chose where you want to be at any given moment is unbelievably freeing.

Nice van to explore the Portuguese Algarve for a week. We had a great time. Certainly something to do again. All went very smooth from picking up the van until delivering it back . No complaints !

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!

We just had 2 fantastic weeks in the campervan of Portugal by Van. Very friendly organisation, high quality van: warm water, outside shower, fridge on solar energy (as well as light and usb's). I cannot wait to go back and enjoy the coast of Portugal again!

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 :)

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! :)

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

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!

Friendly helpful staff, well maintained vehicles

I had a very special time with the van. The renting was easy and without problems. There is no better feeling than waking up, opening the backdoors and looking right at the sea. The van had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The only thing I missed where bowls and pot lids. I highly recommend it for everyone who wants an adventure and feel the freedom of choosing everyday again where to live next. And with Portugal by van you even get that for a fair price.

Portugal by van offers spacious campers and all the equipment that you wish for. The communication, support at pick up and drop off is good. I would recommend booking the experience here, adequate value for money!

Nice Campervans. Friendly staff. Good communication between customer and company. Would rent there again! Thank you PBV :)

(Translated by Google) Van very clean and well cared for, explanations given about the general operation very good. (Original) Van muito bem limpa e cuidada, explicações dadas sobre o funcionamento geral muito boas.

(Translated by Google) Easy delivery and delivery of the camper. Equipment of the vehicle rather simple, but completely sufficient for warmer days. (Original) Problemlose Übergabe und Abgabe des Campers. Ausstattung des Fahrzeuges eher einfach, aber für wärmere Tage vollkommen ausreichend.

We had an amazing experience with the team of Portugal by Van. Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive. The Van offered everything we needed including cooking supplies, showers etc. - only the beds are a bit shorter than in other camper vans so make it's sufficient for your needs :)

(Translated by Google) Great! (Original) Excelente!

Portugal By Van is THE WAY to go... loved it so much! THX Nick and Sem

(Translated by Google) The entire Campervan experience was perfect! Much thanks to the support also from Portugal by Van. As it was our first time, we are always afraid that something will fail, that something will go wrong, luckily everything was incredible and we have no flaws to point out. From the van, to the services, it was an experience to repeat! Thank you (Original) Toda a experiência de Campervan foi perfeita! Muito graças ao apoio também da Portugal by Van. Como era a nossa primeira vez sempre temos algum receio que algo falhe, que algo corra mal, felizmente foi tudo incrível e não temos o mínimo defeito a apontar. Desde a carrinha, aos serviços, foi uma experiência a repetir! Obrigado

(Translated by Google) Very good experience with Portugal By Van. Very fluid discussions with Teresa who answered all of our questions and made sure we had a good road trip. The Van (ducato 4) was very good, suitable for everyday life (storage ...) but also very handy. We spent 15 days at the top! (Original) Très bonne expérience avec Portugal By Van. Échanges très fluide avec Teresa qui a répondu à toutes nos questions et s’est assurée que nous passions un bon Road trip. Le Van (ducato 4) était très bien, adapté à la vie du quotidien (rangements...) mais aussi très maniable. Nous avons passés 15j au top!

Recommended. Great Van and good communication with the staff.

6 days in the small van went by so fast and we really enjoyed the experience from the beginning to the end. Very good communication and flexibility, simple but well equipped van. We (2 friends) had the Fiat Ducato and I would recommend it for 2 adults, but not 3, as beds are smaller than regular ones. Plenty of space underneath the beds to store your luggage, as well as some compartments inside the cabin for clothes etc. The kitchen provides everything you need, including a powerful gas stove. Bring your bed sheets, towel and moka coffee maker, and you are good to go! Thank you for everything, Portugal by van !

(Translated by Google) Good value for money. Staff very friendly, available and professional. Only a few bowls are missing from the available dishes. Besides, we liked it a lot. (Original) Boa relação qualidade preço. Staff muito simpático, disponível e profissional. Só faltam umas tigelas na loiça disponível. De resto, gostámos muito.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, with constant support and without any complications. Thank you! (Original) Excelente serviço, com apoio constante e sem qualquer complicação. Obrigado!

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.

(Translated by Google) Portugal by Van is a local business. I was impressed by the quality of the service given by Teresa before, during and after my reservation. She always answered all of my questions clearly. The four-seater caravan was clean and well equipped. For better comfort, I suggest that you be only two or three adults in this caravan, the beds are not very wide and the top bed is a little shorter. However, since there is no integrated heating system, it was a bit cool for the end of February. Despite several small very narrow roads in some villages, we managed to navigate and park well. I advise you, on the other hand, to park at the entrance of small villages and to walk around, it's more pleasant. All parking was free, except one at 1.50 euros. By the way, we made about 1,000 km through this beautiful country! Thank you Portugal by Van! (Original) 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 !
