Campervan hire Lisbon

Lisbon is well suited for campervan hire and year-round camping due to a pleasant climate and an average of more than 300+ sunny days per year.

During the summer months of July and August, expect temperatures of around 28°C to 36°C. When it's this hot you’ll want to be near the coastline where you will find cooler breezes and fresher nights.

We at Siesta prefer off-season Lisbon campervan hire from October to June to fully enjoy uncrowded beaches, campsites and restaurants. The weather is pleasant while less traffic and open parking spaces right by the beach are a great bonus too.

During the slower months of December through March, you’ll remain comfortable as all of our Atlantic campervans and motorhomes are temperature insulated and come with auxiliary night heaters.

Rent a campervan in Lisbon from €50 per night during the low season to €175 per night during the summertime. The price of Lisbon motorhome rental is a bit higher, ranging between €90 to €225. Factors which affect the price of campervan or motorhome rental in Lisbon include vehicle type, seasonality, rental duration, extras, upgrades and insurance cost.

According to our internal data, the average distance travelled per trip in our campervan rentals in June 2022 was 809 km. This distance could easily be a trip from Lisbon to the Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal, with return to Lisbon. This trip would consume approximately 1 full tank of fuel, costing €120 to fill up (this estimate was made on July 8, 2022). Take a look at this calculator that provides fuel prices, in real time, based on the kms you will travel.

It is impossible to deny that recently fuel has had a significant increase. Fortunately, our campervans are Euro 6 vans, one of the most economical ranges on the market today, their diesel consumption is approximately 7L per 100 km.

Who doesn't like to eat!? Whether you like to stay at home or eat out, renting a campervan can provide benefits you might not expect, plus save you a lot!

Unlike most hotels, all of our campervans are fully equipped with everything you need to cook delicious meals wherever you are. This allows for greater flexibility and also gives you excellent value for money compared to traditional options.

There is nothing better than exploring Portugal by campervan and having the pleasure of enjoying a meal in an unforgettable place, while watching the stars. Can you imagine waking up to the sound of the waves and the feeling of the desert beaches of the west coast while enjoying a nice warm coffee and having local quality products? Buying local will certainly be more cost-effective than dining out.

If you prefer to try a local restaurant, you can expect to pay around €1-€2 for a coffee on the beach. A typical Portuguese lunch in the villages usually costs around €10-€15 per person, including wine!

Restaurants by the sea can be more expensive. Fresh fish caught the same day, for example in Arrifana, would cost €10€-€20, not including drinks and desserts.

Our Lisbon campervan hire location features our modern campervans and motorhomes. The vans vary in size, amenities, and style. Some are better suited for solo travellers and couples while others are ideal for groups and families.
