Campilider motorhome hire in Portugal: Porto and Faro

Q: Which Campilider motorhome should I choose?

Three vehicles appear in our records. The Comfort, a low-profile with a manual gearbox, accommodates three people. The Family offers five seats and five berths, and the Plus goes up to seven. Choose first according to the number of berths, then check the gross weight and dimensions in the offer before planning the small roads of the Douro.

The rental company

Campilider, from the Douro to the Algarve

Campilider is a Portuguese motorhome rental company present at both ends of the country. In the north, its Porto depot is actually in Ovar, in the Olho Marinho area, along the N109 national road, about forty kilometres south of the city. In the south, the Faro depot is located in Patacão, on the N125, on the outskirts of the Algarve's capital.

The offers recorded by CoolDrive cover three vehicles: the Comfort low-profile for three people, the Family for five and the Plus, which accommodates up to seven travellers. All include unlimited mileage, with a recorded excess of €1,500.

The team highlights personalised support: help choosing the vehicle, route advice and follow-up during the trip. The vehicles are presented as well maintained.

Our verdict: a reliable choice for touring Portugal from north to south, with models able to accommodate a large family and unlimited mileage. Its limitations: only two depots, a short range with no compact van, and extras or insurance fees that need careful reading before confirming.

Our view

Campilider: who is it for, and who should look elsewhere?

Campilider is ideal if…

You are travelling as a family or a group: the Plus accommodates up to seven people
You plan to drive a lot, from the Minho to the Algarve, without counting the kilometres
You want to start your trip in the Douro Valley or on the north coast
You dream of the Algarve and the Costa Vicentina, setting off from Faro
You appreciate a local rental company's advice when planning your route

Campilider is not ideal if…

You want a small van that is easy to park in the narrow streets of Lisbon or Porto
You want to set off from Lisbon: Campilider has no depot there
You hope to collect the vehicle at the airport itself
You want to choose from a wide range of models and makes

Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Campilider

Plan the journey to Ovar

The depot linked to Porto is in Ovar, about forty kilometres south of the city, and not in the centre or at the airport. Find the address in the offer details and arrange the transfer (regional train, taxi or shuttle) before you arrive, especially with luggage and children.
Choose the vehicle according to the number of berths

The Comfort suits two or three people, the Family five and the Plus seven. For a couple, a family model adds volume of little use, and it calls for more care in villages with narrow streets.
Read the list of fees before confirming

Additional insurance, camping equipment, accessories: a rental company's extras are easier to spot before departure than at the desk. In the CoolDrive offer, the price displayed includes mandatory fees: check what is included, then add any useful extras when you book, so you know exactly what you will pay.
Carry out a full inspection

At departure, walk around the vehicle with the agent, photograph any existing scratches and check the inventory of the living area. Note the rental company's assistance number: you will need it if you have a problem on the road, far from the depot.
Book early for summer

With two depots and a small range, Campilider's availability shrinks quickly in July and August. For a summer departure, especially in a family model, book several months in advance; in spring and autumn, the choice remains wider.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Campilider

How much does a Campilider hire cost in Portugal?

For a 14-day hire, our prices recorded in October 2026, mandatory fees included, put the Comfort low-profile from €104 per day in October and around €193 in July. The large models show a median of €138 per day in October and €239 in July. Enter your dates to get the exact rate.

Where are the Campilider depots?

Campilider has two depots. The Porto one is located in Ovar, Olho Marinho, on the N109 national road, about 40 km south of the city. The Faro one is in Patacão, on the N125, on the edge of the city. Neither is at an airport: the exact address and opening hours are given in each offer.

Which Campilider motorhome should I choose?

Three vehicles appear in our records. The Comfort, a low-profile with a manual gearbox, accommodates three people. The Family offers five seats and five berths, and the Plus goes up to seven. Choose first according to the number of berths, then check the gross weight and dimensions in the offer before planning the small roads of the Douro.

Is mileage unlimited with Campilider?

Yes: in all the Campilider offers recorded by CoolDrive, kilometres are not counted, whatever the model. You can therefore link Porto to the beaches of the Algarve, or make a detour via the Alentejo or the Serra da Estrela, with no extra cost linked to distance. Fuel and motorway tolls remain at your expense.

Should I set off from Porto or Faro with Campilider?

From Porto, you are close to the Douro Valley, the Minho and the Peneda-Gerês park, and you can drive down the coast towards Aveiro, Coimbra and Lisbon. From Faro, the Algarve, the Costa Vicentina and the Alentejo are very close. The choice depends mainly on your flight and the regions you want to see first.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campilider motorhome hire in Portugal

Why book Campilider with CoolDrive?

On CoolDrive, a single search places Campilider alongside McRent, Anywhere Campers or Autocaravan Express. The rate shown includes mandatory fees, which limits unpleasant surprises at the desk. Mileage, excess and extras are clearly shown before you pay, and our experts are on hand to help you choose the departure depot and the model.

What excess applies with Campilider?

In the Campilider offers recorded in October 2026, the excess amounts to €1,500 for all three vehicles: this is the sum that may remain at your expense if the motorhome is damaged. Each offer also specifies the security deposit required, how it is held on your card and the options that lower the excess. Read these lines before booking.

Can I return the motorhome to the other depot?

A trip from Porto to Faro, or the other way round, would avoid retracing your steps. We cannot guarantee that Campilider accepts it on all dates. Choose the other depot as the return location when you search: only compatible offers will be displayed, with any one-way fees already included in the price.

Can I go to Spain with a Campilider motorhome?

Spain is very close, from Galicia via Porto to Andalusia via Faro. The countries permitted, any cross-border fees and the cover valid abroad are governed by the rental company's terms: they are specified in each offer. Check them before planning a route that crosses the border.

What is the best season to hire from Campilider?

Spring and autumn are ideal seasons in Portugal: mild weather, less crowded campsites and recorded prices well below those in July. Summer draws crowds to the beaches of the Algarve, while the north stays cooler. In winter, the south keeps pleasant days, even if some motorhome areas close.

What documents should I present at the Campilider depot?

Bring your valid driving licence, an identity card or passport, and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. Additional drivers must present their own licence. The age and driving experience requirements are stated in the offer, as are any per-driver fees.
