Road Genius compares campervan and motorhome rentals across Portugal so you can pick the right vehicle and price. Most international visitors land at Faro Airport or enter by road from Spain along the A22 motorway. Faro sits in the Algarve, a region with mild winters and very dry, hot summers, so plan your route and bookings around the high-season crowds.
