You should leave 45min to we have time to check everything is ok and put gas.

Yes, inside and outside. We manage to keep our prices as low as possible by minimising the amount of time spent handing the van to the next customers.

The frequency at which you need to refill the water in your campervan will depend on several factors, including the size of your water tank, the number of people using it, and your personal water usage habits.
With a 40-liter water tank in your campervan, travelling with 2 people, you should expect to refill the tank every 2 to 4 days, depending on your personal water usage habits.

For example, if you use water for cooking, washing dishes, brushing your teeth, and taking showers, you’ll likely need to refill the tank more frequently. On the other hand, if you are more conservative with your water usage and limit showers and washing, you may be able to stretch the tank to last 4 days or longer.

It’s important to be mindful of your water usage and refill the tank as needed to ensure you have enough for your travels.

Yes. All campervans come with a 3th party insurance (damage to other cars) included on the quoted price, and if you get a surf package with us, with extra insurance for activities on and around the van.

The campervans are extremely reliable and they are serviced regularly to ensure a high standard of reliability.

If you experience any problems with the van during your rental then contact us as soon as you can, from there we will assess the situation and do everything we possibly can to fix any issues and get you back on the road. The customer is not allowed to make any alterations to the van and if the van cannot be repaired we make our best to bring you a replacement van.

Yes, you can charge your phone or camera using the USB port on the radio or via one of the 12v carplugs in the van. Please bring your own USB or 12V plugs. 220v is only available if you are plugged in on a campsite using the 230v wall cable.

You can fill up with water at most gas stations. In most villages you can also find communal wash areas where you can fill up.

If you are renting a van out of season, we can provide electric heater for you to plug in at night. Obviously this can only be used on campsites when you are connected to mains electric.

Wild camping is officially illegal but generally permitted. There are restrictions on where you can park and camp overnight. If unsure, always ask the local tourism centre or police, so you don’t get fined! Do not leave any garbage outside overnight and definitely do not leave your garbage behind when you leave. You may be told to move on though in the middle of the night and they may decide to fine you. Putting a tent up is definitely not tolerated.

One lesson is 1:30h, so you should be around 1:15h in the water, depending on your level. With the most popular package with 2 lessons/day, you stay around 3 hour’s total.

On average you should have a ratio of 3 to 6 people per teacher. But it’s never more than 8.

a.) … during summer months? (July – September)

b.) … during winter months? (December – February)
Water temperature cools down to 14 degrees. The air is at 10 to 25 degrees. We recommend a 4/3 wetsuit and surf booties during this time of the year. Plus a hood on windy days.

If you have the standard European preventive measures, you do not need any additional vaccinations in Portugal. The treatments here and the prescribed medicines must be paid in cash. Always ask for a detailed receipt, to make sure your health insurance company reimburses the amount later.
An additional health and return transport insurance is recommended.
Because that way you have a free choice of all doctors and the costs for a possible return transport are already covered.

Altogether, Portugal is relatively safe. If you hire a rental car, do not leave any valuable items visible in the car. If you go to the beach or the cliffs always park the car nearby so that you can still see it from the beach.

The country language is Portuguese. But English is well known.
