1 The Algarve to Cape St. Vincent
- Faro
- Albufeira
- Benagil
- Lagos
- Sagres
- Cape St. Vincent
- Faro
Heading west, the cliffs of Albufeira and the sea caves of Benagil lead to Lagos, Ponta da Piedade and its ochre rock arches. Sagres and Cape St. Vincent, at the south-western tip of Europe, offer the most beautiful sunsets in the country. The small coastal roads and beach car parks are narrow: a campervan or converted van is easier to park.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Pick-up along the N125
Campilider and Blurent are in Patacão, Indie Campers and McRent in Almancil, on the N125 road, and Portugal by Van meets you at Faro railway station. Check your company's exact address in the confirmation and plan a taxi from the airport.
The A22 toll-free since 2025
The A22 motorway, which crosses the Algarve from east to west, has been toll-free since January 2025: it is the fastest route between Lagos, Faro and Spain. Heading north to Lisbon, the A2 is still tolled, with classic toll booths; some other Portuguese motorways have electronic tolls only.
Regulated overnight parking in Portugal
Overnight motorhome parking is banned outside authorised places and checked, especially in natural parks such as the Vicentine Coast. Use the motorhome areas and campsites, which are plentiful in the Algarve.

A lot of difficulties with our bank cards for the deposit transfer. This made us lose 2 hours. Very little flexibility from the lady who welcomed us; rather arrogant. The contract, signed before Covid, was postponed to April 2022. You increased the price several times without any explanation. Upon arrival, you removed the rental of duvets, cushions, and thus additional payments to be made. In the end, it was more or less 400 euros more expensive than expected for just one week. When we arrived in Lisbon, there was no one to welcome us. We had to wait 1.5 hours..... We were very disappointed and felt cheated by cool-drive.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Faro
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Portugal?
A European category B licence is enough for motorhomes, campervans and converted vans under 3.5 tonnes. With a non-European licence, an international driving permit may be required. Each rental company also sets a minimum age and a minimum number of years of driving, shown in the offer conditions.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in the Algarve?
Campsites and motorhome areas are plentiful in the Algarve, often close to the beaches and open all year. Overnight parking elsewhere is banned and fined. In summer and during the winter, very popular with motorhome travellers, book your pitches.
Is mileage unlimited?
All the offers found in our searches in Faro included unlimited mileage. Conditions do vary depending on the rental company and the length of hire: check them on each offer before booking, especially for a one-way trip to Lisbon or Porto.
How do I get to the depots from Faro airport?
The airport is a few kilometres from the depots in Patacão and Almancil, on the N125 road. Some companies offer a shuttle; otherwise, a taxi will do. Let the rental company know your arrival time to arrange the vehicle handover.
When should I book a campervan in the Algarve?
Several months ahead for July and August, and also for winter, when the Algarve attracts many motorhome travellers from northern Europe. In spring and autumn, the choice remains wide a few weeks before departure. Campervans are always the first to be booked.
About us
Why start a motorhome trip from Faro
Faro is the gateway to the Algarve, one of the sunniest regions in Europe. In a few stages you can combine the Ria Formosa lagoon, the cliffs of Lagos, Cape St. Vincent and the wild beaches of the Vicentine Coast; further north, the Alentejo and its white villages show another Portugal, quiet and authentic.
With nine partner companies, the choice is very wide, from surfers' vans to family motorhomes, with prices observed from €76 per day in October 2026. Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto, other departure cities of our partners, also make one-way trips up the whole country possible. And thanks to its mild climate, Faro is suited to motorhome travel almost all year round.
