    Urlaub in Wohnmobil in Dezember war schon mal ungewönlich. Mir hat das kennengelernte Lebensweise gefallen, aber es war eng in einem 5,6m Wohnmobil. Es bedarf strenge Ordnung, wenn man auf 6qm lebt.

Company info

I'm a camper since my 6 years old! I used to go camping with my parents on a scooter. Every summer, me and my family used to go traveling through Europe on a caravan. Recently I upgraded to a Campervan as it is a more sustainable option and is easier to drive and park. The Getaway Van is a Campervan rental service located in the North of Portugal. We are between Aeroporto and Porto city (10 minutes) and we pick-up clients at the train, bus station, airport, ... We envisage an experience where travelers explore Portugal and the North at their own pace, with the freedom of having no ties and the assurance of a great service. Our mission is to provide the Adventure of a Lifetime! In our campervans travel 5 and sleep 4. They are more economic than traditional caravans and you can stay anywhere overnight. Choose one of our fun, head-twisting campervans as your journey’s companion! Our modern fleet of Ford Transit Custom (5 seats) 2.2 TDI 125 CV comes with 6 speed manual transmission, remote central locking, power steering, air conditioning, cruise control, drivers’ airbag, MP3 compatible audio system with USB.
