Discover the beautiful country of Portugal, on the Iberian Peninsula in Southwest Europe. With a long and fascinating history, colourful cities and beautiful scenery, Portugal is an ideal holiday destination. Lisbon is the capital city and hiring a minivan at Lisbon International Airport (LIS) is a great way to begin your travels. Lisbon is an enchanting city that has really come into its own in recent years, attracting lovers of food, culture and history to its fashionable neighbourhoods, fine restaurants and historic gothic architecture.
Driving north from Lisbon are plenty of fascinating attractions, including Sintra, a town with a proud aristocratic past that saw the building of the Palacio Nacional de Sintra, the Palacio de Monserrate and the Palacio da Pena. Today, tourists come en masse to see the historic mansions and magical castles set against a backdrop of luscious hills. Enjoy a taste of Portugal’s regal past in the medieval town of Obidos, a stunning walled town full of white washed houses, arcades and picturesque squares, or drive further north to Alcobaca, a town known for its Abbey of Santa Maria, Portugal’s largest church and one of its greatest architectural monuments. Close by are the extensive Roman ruins of Conimbriga that date back to the 9th Century.
The city of Porto (Oporto) is Portugal’s second largest city, built on the hills of the Douro River Estuary in northern Portugal. Porto is a fascinating city that is best explored on foot, and across the river is the famous Port Wine producing district of Gaia. This city is exceptionally hilly, with many of its buildings built into the cliff faces and public stairways cut into the stone, so make sure you come prepared. Collect your minivan on arrival at Porto Airport (OPO), just 15km from the city centre, and drive north to the Minho region, a beautiful area full of vineyards, beaches and the Peneda-Geres national park. To the east is the quiet region of Trás-os-Montes, one of the more remote areas of Portugal. This is the region where you will find traditional markets, festivals and a feeling that life has changed little in the past few hundred years.
On Portugal’s south coast lies the Algarve, a popular tourist destination for those seeking sandy beaches, large hotels, water sports and golf courses. You can rent one of our minivans from various locations in the Algarve, including Faro Airport (FAO), one of the main arrival points for visitors to this region. Having access to a car is the best way to really enjoy this region, particularly for those who wish to get away from the tourist resorts to discover a more traditional side of Portuguese life. Faro, the capital of the region is located in the centre of the Algarve, and unlike many of the other towns along this coast, has retained its Portuguese character and has a well-preserved medieval centre. West of Faro is Lagos, a town known for its party atmosphere with a vibrant nightlife, along with the resorts of Albufeira, Sagres and Carrapateira. Our Portugal minivan rentals are also available on Madeira and Porto Santo, the two islands that form the archipelago of Madeira in the Atlantic Ocean, an autonomous region of Portugal.

Ford Galaxy 7 seater tdi €105 per day Book nowMinivan Hire
Minivans, multi-purpose vehicles (MPV’s), people-carriers or people-movers are the ideal rental choice in Portugal for people looking to transport large families, groups of 5, 7 or more. An MPV will give you and your passengers more space and comfort, are usually designed with larger dimensions and make smart use of their interior space. Ideal for long journeys, day trips or transporting business executives, the seats of a minivan are generally located higher than in smaller cars, providing a more upright seating position and more leg and head room. Flexibility and versatility is the key to a good minivan, utilising cleverly designed folding seats that can be stowed or removed to create additional luggage space and allowing drivers to choose between 5 and 7 seats. The extra two seats are often more suitable for children and short journeys, though some larger models will feature three rows of seats that are genuinely comfortable for adults. Read on to find out which minivan is most suited to your driving needs.
Rent a Compact MPV
Hiring a smaller compact minivan is the most economical option, and when it comes to minivans, sometimes less is more. Being cheaper to rent than a large Minivan, and benefitting from lower fuel costs, a compact MPV is a sensible choice if you are watching your budget. The Chevrolet Zafira 5+2 seater rental is a smart choice for a small 7-person vehicle, as is the Citroen Picasso 5+2 seater. Choose the Peugeot Partner 5 or 7 seater for a reliable and economic minivan hire, or select the Renault Modus for a solid little mini MPV. Save money on your minivan by renting a diesel MPV, offering better fuel consumption and delivering more miles per gallon than a standard petrol engine. Find out what savings you can make on your gasoline costs when you drive your Ford Galaxy tdi diesel, the Volkswagen Touran automatic TDI or the Citroen C8 Tdi rental in Portugal.
7 seater Minivan and Minibus Rentals in Portugal
For seven or more adult passengers, a full size MPV or Minivan is the vehicle for you. The 7 seater Dodge Grand Caravan is a smart minivan whose clever ‘stow ‘n go’ seating allows you to interchange between people carrier and cargo van, whilst the Kia Sedona is a powerful and comfortable minivan for 7 persons that is fitted with an impressive V6 engine and 6 speed automatic transmission. The Ford Galaxy 7 seater MPV offers space, comfort and first-rate driving, whilst the roomy Volkswagen Sharan is ideal for any family vacation or road trip. If you want to know how much it costs to hire an 8 seater, then check out our range of 8 or 9 seater people carriers, such as the 8 seater Chevrolet Spin, the 9 person Fiat Scudo and the 12 seat Hyundai H1 minibus.
Luxury Minivan Hire
With a larger budget, you might be looking for a larger minivan that offers luxury, style, passenger comfort, versatility and excellent driving dynamics. The Citroen Berlingo benefits from a vast interior space, practical sliding rear doors and provides surprisingly enjoyable driving experience, whilst the refined Mercedes Viano MPV is always a popular premium people carrier. For luxury, power and a good fuel economy, the 7 seater Volkswagen Touran TDI may be the right MPV for you, or perhaps you want to hire a smart 9 seater van such as the automatic Mercedes Vito. Ensure that you and your passengers enjoy a truly comfortable ride with our luxury MPV and minivan rentals.
Automatic or Manual Minivan Rental in Portugal
Choosing between automatic or manual transmission is a personal choice; some drivers prefer the extra control that manual shift gives you, whilst others prefer the ease of automatic gears, especially for city driving. Some will opt for a manual transmission as it is thought to be more fuel-efficient than an automatic, though in fact nowadays the differences are often negligible. In the US and much of Europe, automatic cars are often standard, and to drive a manual you will have to specifically request a stick shift car, whilst manual transmission remains the norm in the UK. For a reliable automatic minivan, the 7 seat Kia Sedona is a good choice, as is the Chrysler Grand Voyager automatic and the Automatic Toyota Previa. Try the Renault Grand Espcace with Sat Nav if you want a well-equipped manual MPV, or the manual 8 seater Toyota Quantum for a comfortable and reliable passenger van.
