Pick Up Your Campervan Rental in Lisbon Here

You can reach the roadsurfer station by getting a train to Alverca. From here, it is a short Uber trip or a 30-40 minute walk. If you’re arriving at the airport or from the centre of Lisbon, it is best to get an Uber.

When you hire a campervan in Lisbon you’ll find that your roadsurfer home on wheels is fully equipped for your road trip. Your camper comes with an awning, camping table and two foldable chairs to enjoy relaxing outdoors. All our roadsurfer rentals are equipped with your kitchen utensils so you can save money on eating out every night. There’s even a corkscrew and bottle opener, and a cafetière plus mugs for your morning coffee. You will need to bring dish towels, sponges, and eco-friendly dish soap though! You will need to bring your own bedding or hire what you need from the station during the booking process. The full details can be found in the equipment list on our website.

The best time to rent a camper in Lisbon is March to May and September to October, when the weather is beautiful and it is generally less crowded. Of course, with 300 days of sunshine each year and the right clothing, you can visit Lisbon throughout the year, especially during the off-season in winter (if you don’t mind the quieter vibe). Plus, campsites, restaurants, and tourist attractions are cheaper during the off-season. Film festivals take place during September and October, and there is always a street event whatever the season. In June, the 13th is the day of St Anthony, Lisbon’s patron saint and a day celebrated throughout the city.

When you hire a campervan in Lisbon, you’ll need to fill it up with fresh water at the start of your trip and empty the wastewater at the end. Intermarché supermarkets often have motorhome services which are perfect for this, or you can do it at your campsite. The closest Intermarché to the station are:

• Edifício Intermarché, R. Dom Afonso de Albuquerque, 2690-340 Santa Iria de Azoia
• Intermarché in Carregado, 2580-491 Carregado

You can also fill up your water tanks at the Repsol Alverca at à Repsol: En 10-Km 128 N, 2615-141 Alverca do Ribatejo, Portugal. Please note that this location is only for filling up and emptying wastewater is not possible here.

You will need to refill the fuel tank before you return your campervan rental. Our closest petrol stations are:

• Repsol: En 10-Km 128 N, 2615-141 Alverca do Ribatejo, Portugal
• Repsol: P ABAST-EN 10 KM 127,5, 2615-000 Alverca do Ribatejo, Portugal
• Galp: Av. Eng. Vilar Queiroz, 2615-000 Alverca do Ribatejo, Portugal

Known as the city of the 7 hills, the streets of Lisbon are relatively steep and narrow (as well as very busy with cars and pedestrians). We highly recommend parking your roadsurfer campervan rental in the secure car park near the port in Rua da Cintura where you can also stay overnight. Parking costs €6 for 24 hours.

Motorways in Portugal are toll roads. They are either equipped with booths to pay on-site or are electronic toll roads.

Payment on-site:You can pay the toll conventionally at the exit of most roads. Please pay attention to the signs marked with a “V” (Via Verde) on green background, as those are reserved for people with transponders, and you should not drive on these roads if you don’t have one.

Electronic toll roads:Our cars with Portuguese plates are already registered on the electronic toll system. You can check your outstanding payments on this website by inputting the number plate. Please keep in mind that it can take up to 48 hours until it appears in the system. Alternatively, payments can be made at post offices and shops marked with “Payshop” flags.

If you are driving from outside of Portugal, it is important to register the car on the Easytoll system. As soon as you enter Portugal, you will pass through a toll booth. There is an entrance for non-Portuguese vehicles on the side where you will receive a receipt with an identification number and your number plates. When you drive through electronic toll roads, your plate will be scanned. From then onwards, the process is the same as for the Portuguese number plates mentioned above.

Alternatively, you can register digitally with Easytoll before you enter the country. The time you are allowed to spend on toll roads is limited and spending the night at a rest stop is not advisable.

There are also free roads, marked with “EN” but the travelling time might double if you choose them.
