SPECIALS: If you place your Portugal motorhome hire booking request with IdeaMerge online, our software will apply any relevant specials from the vendor as well as our own IdeaMerge QUANTUM online discount.
We use our buying power to offer you big savings versus booking direct.
Book your Portugal RV hire early to secure availability. Many clients book Portugal RV rental months in advance. Moreover, our discount tends to be higher the earlier a motorhome rental booking is made.
Why not start your motorhome or campervan rental tour of Portugal, the Iberian Peninsula or even Europe as a whole from the exotic, historic city of Lisbon? Lisbon is the perfect place from which to launch an RV rental tour to the outstanding beaches and antique fishing towns of Portugal's Costa Azul and Algarve.
Moreover, these Portuguese coasts are loaded with excellent seaside campgrounds. And don't forget the exciting nightlife of Spain's nearby Costa del Sol.
Of special note is Portugal's craggy Cape Sagres, at the very southwestern tip of the continent. Sagres was the "end of the world" in the days before Prince Henry the Navigator made it the Cape Canaveral of the Portuguese Age of Discoveries.
To the north of Lisbon, Ovar is well known for its wonderfully creative Carnaval. And beautiful Porto is the home of port wine.
Apart from our IdeaMerge QUANTUM online discount, the prices and policies presented on the IdeaMerge website match the prices and policies of our suppliers. You aren't paying extra by going through IdeaMerge — in fact you're paying less, thanks to our unilateral, QUANTUM discount.
IdeaMerge facilitates the whole RV rental booking process, presenting a single total cost you can count on — and acting for you as an accessible resource and, if necessary, as a mediator.

For more info, submit a Search above. Our online order software will then present to you all the RVs, whether motorhome, camper van or truck camper.
If you then click on an RV thumbnail image or on the "More Info" text link adjacent to that image, the software will present the following info specific to the RV and dates:
Any optional items (e.g. camping table and chairs, bedding, shuttle transfer) are presented during our online order process, along with selectable pick-up and return times.
In many cases the RV rental company offers an inclusive package that bundles together a set of optional extras for one relatively low price. Again, don't worry about those packages. Just select à la carte the options you want and our software will apply an inclusive package if such is available and if such package indeed gives you a lower price than actually paying for the options à la carte.
Similarly, RV rental companies often offer specials that involve optional extras. Such specials can be complicated and hard for customers to understand. Again, our software is carefully programmed and maintained to automatically apply any specials that benefit you.
We think our software is unique in terms helping our customers optimize their RV rental and minimize their costs in these important respects. Our aim is to provide you with the best value and to increase our sales as a result.

We do NOT charge a booking fee. On the contrary, we discount our prices far below those of our suppliers.
Likewise but more uniquely still, we do NOT charge a credit card transaction fee. Most of our competitors charge a credit card transaction fee of about 2%! (They bury mention of that fee deep in their Terms and Conditions; search those terms for the word "surcharge" or the phrase "credit card" to see their surcharge acknowledged.)
Furthermore, we do indeed charge your card in the currency you choose above. Thus no unwelcome suprises will be consequent of the charge. The charge in that currency will post to your account in exactly the amount we quoted; and no foreign currency transaction fee from your credit card company can apply to the charge.
We use our guaranteed Super Saver Exchange Rates — meant to be the best retail exchange rates available out there — to arrive at that guaranteed amount (i.e. if your currency is indeed different than the supplier's currency).
To be sure, our Super Saver Exchange Rates are NOT the interbank (i.e. wholesale) exchange rates which the big banks give to each other and which are typically the rates presented by Google and financial websites — and commonly also by our competitors who charge only in their own currency, to give misleadingly low quotes — but they ARE the best rates you as an individual consumer can take advantage of. This is to say, our exchange rates are meant to be considerably better for you than the rates which Visa or MasterCard and the banks use to translate foreign currencies into cardholder currencies.
Most uniquely we offer three payment options in relation to currency, one of which options you can select during our online order process:
Martin B. and Family, GermanyThe booking with IdeaMerge was easy, cheap and fair (already told other people we met at the camping sites). The camper was great and clean, the Sintra McRent People were very friendly. Even after a small accident with a broken window there was no trouble. 4 persons enjoyed 19 days camping in many locations of Portugal. Read More …
Filips LombaertI found it very easy to make the reservations for the mobilhome. The local partner company was very friendly and we where on the road in no time and could start enjoying the nice country-side of South-Portugal. Around Easter, the campings in the Algarve are quite cheap, almost empty and of very high quality. Camping on parkingspots you can find on the internet was also possible, there are quite a few in beautifull spots. We went for a round of golf and arrived there with the camper, no problem, all is foreseen. Returning the camper was fun, all formalities done in less than 20 minutes. Will do this again. Read More …
Dan F.Had a great trip! The camper was exactly what we expected and was nearly new. No problems during the whole trip (about 10 days) despite several thousand kilometers of driving. The welcome at the rental center was superb; pickup and dropoff both went off without a hitch! Read More …
It all adds up to savings and peace of mind.
