Surf Campers in Portugal: from the Tagus estuary to the beaches of the Algarve

The Andalusian specialist in campervans for surfers also offers two Portuguese departure cities: Lisbon and Faro. Our records do not yet contain an address for either of them; the place where you will collect the campervan, whether the company's premises, a delivery or a meeting point, is given to you after booking.

After that, it all depends on the stretch of coast you are aiming for. From Lisbon, Ericeira, designated a World Surfing Reserve, is less than an hour away, Peniche and the Supertubos wave about an hour and a quarter, and Nazaré, known for its giant winter swells, an hour and a half. Faro opens up the Algarve: its more sheltered south coast, then the headland of Sagres, from where the Costa Vicentina runs north towards Arrifana and Odeceixe, facing due west.

CoolDrive has not yet recorded any Surf Campers offer in Portugal: the price, the kilometres included and the excess are shown in each offer, for your dates.

Our view: two well-placed departure points at either end of a coastline much loved by surfers, ideal for a road trip along the Atlantic. The flip side: no address or price known for the moment, and no departure in the north, around Porto.

  • You are looking for winter waves in a milder climate than northern Europe
  • You want to follow the Costa Vicentina starting from the Algarve

Surf Campers is not ideal if…

  • You plan to start in Porto or the north of the country
Practical tips

Our tips for booking with Surf Campers

  1. Check where the swell is coming from

    The west coast, from Ericeira to the Costa Vicentina, receives the Atlantic swell almost all year round. The south coast of the Algarve, which faces out towards Africa, only comes alive when the swell arrives from the south-west, which is more frequent in winter. With a campervan, simply rounding the headland of Sagres is often enough to find different conditions.

  2. Spend the night at stopovers and campsites

    Since 2021, Portugal has restricted overnight stays in motorhomes and campervans to campsites, dedicated stopover areas and expressly authorised places, with fines for offenders. The Costa Vicentina, a designated nature park, is particularly affected. Plan your stops before leaving the city.

  3. Fit the pick-up around your arrival

    As the meeting place is only known after booking, wait until you have it before choosing the time of your flight or train. In Lisbon, traffic on the Tagus bridges can lengthen a journey at the end of the day: allow some leeway.

What travellers ask

Your questions about Surf Campers

Where can you pick up a Surf Campers campervan in Portugal?

Two cities are offered: Lisbon and Faro. Our records do not yet give an address for these departures: the exact location is sent to you once the hire is confirmed, and our experts can tell you how to get there.

Lisbon or Faro: which city for a surf trip?

Lisbon suits you if you are aiming for the spots in the centre of the country, Ericeira, Peniche and Nazaré, with towns such as Sintra or Óbidos along the way. Faro is the best choice for the Algarve and the wilder Costa Vicentina, where the beaches of Arrifana, Amado and Odeceixe follow one another between cliffs and dunes.

How much does a Surf Campers campervan cost in Portugal?

CoolDrive does not yet have any recorded prices for this company in Portugal. The amount depends on the city, the dates, the length of hire and the options chosen. Run a search for Lisbon or Faro: each offer shows its final price, with the mileage and the excess.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Surf Campers campervan hire in Portugal

Can you pick up the campervan in Lisbon and drop it off in Faro?

Just under 300 km separate the two cities, and the coast between them is one of the most beautiful in the country. This one-way trip is only possible if the offer allows it: enter Faro as the drop-off location after a departure from Lisbon, or the other way round, to see whether it is offered and at what cost.

Can you cross into Spain with a campervan hired in Portugal?

From Faro, the Spanish border is less than an hour away and Seville just over two hours. As the company also has departures in Andalusia, the question often comes up: only the offer's clause on authorised countries is binding. Read it, or ask our experts, before planning a border crossing.

How do you book a Surf Campers campervan in Portugal on CoolDrive?

The search shows Surf Campers offers alongside those of other rental companies based in Portugal, such as McRent, Portugal by Van or Campers on Way, with a price that includes mandatory fees. After booking, our team works out the pick-up details with you.
