The rental company

Campers on Way, compact vans for touring Portugal

Campers on Way is a Portuguese rental company that focuses on compact vehicles rather than large motorhomes. It offers three departure points: Lisbon, where its depot is in the west of the city, Porto and Faro. Enough to start a trip in the north, in the capital or directly in the Algarve.

Its recorded fleet comprises three models. Two vans converted on a Fiat Ducato base, the Nomad Original and the Nomad Evolution, offer four seats and four berths. The third, a Dacia Sandero Stepaway topped with a rooftop tent, is aimed at travellers who want a light formula for two. All have a manual gearbox.

In every offer recorded by CoolDrive, mileage is unlimited and the excess reaches €1,750, whatever the vehicle.

Our verdict: a good option for a couple or a small family looking for a manoeuvrable vehicle, easier to park than a large motorhome, with identical terms across the whole range. On the other hand, the choice remains limited, no more than four people can sleep on board, and the price gap between winter and July is significant.

Our view

Campers on Way: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Campers on Way is ideal if…

  • You are travelling as two or four and want a vehicle that is easy to manoeuvre
  • You like the idea of sleeping in a rooftop tent, close to nature
  • You want to start your trip in the heart of Lisbon, without leaving the city
  • You are planning a long loop from the Minho to the Algarve without counting the kilometres
  • You are travelling out of season, when the prices recorded are at their gentlest

Campers on Way is not ideal if…

  • There are five or more of you wanting to sleep on board
  • You want a low-profile, an overcab or an A-class
  • You can only drive an automatic
  • You want a wide choice of models at the same depot
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Campers on Way

  1. Van or rooftop tent: choose according to the season

    The Dacia Sandero Stepaway with rooftop tent is well suited to fine weather and travellers used to camping. For a winter trip, in windy weather on the Atlantic coast or with children, the enclosed four-berth Nomad vans are more comfortable.

  2. Compare the two versions of the Fiat Ducato

    The Nomad Original and the Nomad Evolution have the same number of seats and berths. Their equipment may differ: open the details of each offer to compare what is supplied on board before choosing.

  3. Confirm the meeting point

    In Lisbon, the depot is in the west of the city, on Rua Aliança Operária. For Porto and Faro, no precise address appears in our data: check the pick-up point and time in your booking confirmation, then organise your journey from the station or airport accordingly.

  4. Find campsites and service areas

    The rules on overnight parking for converted vehicles are strict in several natural areas of the Portuguese coast. Before each stop, note a campsite or service area nearby, especially in summer in the Algarve and on the Alentejo coast.

  5. Take your time over the check-in inspection

    At departure, walk round the vehicle with the depot staff, photograph the bodywork and the rooftop tent if you have one, and check the inventory of cooking and sleeping equipment. Save the assistance number in your phone before hitting the road.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Campers on Way

How much does a Campers on Way hire cost in Portugal?

According to our prices recorded in October 2026, mandatory fees included, the lowest rate is €44 per day in January, for the Dacia Sandero Stepaway with rooftop tent. The Fiat Ducato vans start at around €77 per day. In July, the median price recorded climbs to about €180 per day. Enter your dates in the search engine to get the exact price.

How many people can travel in a Campers on Way van?

The two Fiat Ducato vans, the Nomad Original and the Nomad Evolution, have four seats and four berths. The Dacia Sandero Stepaway seats five on the road, but its rooftop tent only sleeps two travellers. For more than four sleepers, you will need to turn to another rental company in the country, with larger overcabs.

Where can you pick up a Campers on Way vehicle?

Three departure cities are offered: Lisbon, Porto and Faro. The Lisbon depot is on Rua Aliança Operária, in the west of the city. For Porto and Faro, the precise meeting point is given to you when booking. Remember to check the pick-up times, especially if you are arriving by plane.

What excess should you expect with Campers on Way?

In the offers recorded by CoolDrive, the excess is €1,750, whether you hire a Nomad van or the car with a rooftop tent. This is the amount you may have to pay in the event of damage. The security deposit amount and the reduction options are stated in the offer; our experts can help you compare them.

Is a Campers on Way van suitable for a first trip?

Yes, it is actually a good format for beginners. A van on a Fiat Ducato base can be driven with a category B licence and remains easier to park than a large motorhome, especially in historic cities such as Porto, Coimbra or Évora. The gearbox is manual on all models: if you are not used to one, you would be better off looking elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campers on Way campervan hire in Portugal

Why book Campers on Way with CoolDrive?

In a single search, you can see Campers on Way next to the other Portuguese rental companies for the same dates, with a price that already includes mandatory fees. No unpleasant surprises on the amount shown, and experts available to help you choose between a Nomad van and the rooftop tent option, then support you until the vehicle is returned.

Is mileage unlimited with Campers on Way?

Yes: all the Campers on Way offers recorded in October 2026 include unlimited kilometres. You can set off from Porto towards the Douro valley and Peneda-Gerês park, then head down to the beaches of the Algarve with no distance-related surcharge. The details of your offer confirm this condition before payment.

How does the Dacia Sandero’s rooftop tent work?

The tent is fixed to the car’s roof and unfolds at each stop to provide a bed for two. The depot shows you how to set it up at departure: have a try on the spot before leaving. Bring sleeping bags suited to the season, as nights can be cool in spring and autumn, even in the south.

Can you return the van in a city other than the departure city?

With three depots in Lisbon, Porto and Faro, a north-south journey without returning to the starting point would be handy, but there is no guarantee that it is offered. To find out, choose a different drop-off city in the search engine: compatible offers will be displayed with any supplement. Otherwise, plan a loop.

Do you need a special licence to drive a Campers on Way van?

No, the Fiat Ducato vans and the Dacia Sandero can in principle be driven with a category B licence. The minimum age and years holding a licence required are stated in the offer: check them before booking, especially if a young driver is going to take the wheel. Also bring your original licence and an identity document.

When should you go to Portugal with Campers on Way?

The prices recorded are lowest in January and remain moderate in April and October, two pleasant months for visiting the country. July concentrates demand and the highest prices. For the rooftop tent, go for late spring or early autumn; in winter, an enclosed van is more comfortable.
