Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Business Type: Campervan Rental / Travel / Tourism
Sale Type: Business assets and operating platform only – vehicles and real estate excluded
An established campervan rental business operating in Portugal since 2017 is offered for acquisition.
The sale includes the brand, digital assets, booking infrastructure, operational systems, customer acquisition channels, know-how and associated business assets required to continue operating the activity.
The business has been developed specifically for the international tourism market, with a strong customer base from Northern and Central Europe.
The acquisition does not include the current vehicle fleet or any real estate, making this an attractive opportunity for an existing rental company, campervan operator, tourism company or investor wishing to enter the Portuguese market without the cost and time required to build a brand and operating infrastructure from scratch.

Technology and booking platform
A significant part of the value of the business is its purpose-built booking and operations platform.
The system supports the management of reservations, payments, customer communications, contracts and operational processes.
It includes automated communications for booking confirmations, payment reminders, pre-check-in, vehicle collection, vehicle return and post-rental communication.
The platform has also been developed to support integrations with payment providers, GPS systems, invoicing processes and other operational tools.
This substantially reduces the time and investment required for a new owner to establish a professional campervan rental operation.
Ideal buyer
The opportunity would be particularly suitable for:
- Campervan or motorhome rental companies wishing to enter Portugal
- Car rental companies wishing to add a campervan product
- International tourism companies seeking a Portuguese operation
- Existing fleet owners looking for an established brand and booking infrastructure
- Entrepreneurs or investors wishing to operate a tourism rental business
- Outdoor travel companies looking to expand into campervan rentals
A buyer with an existing fleet could integrate their own vehicles into the existing operation and start trading under the established brand.
Alternatively, the buyer may establish a new fleet according to their own preferred vehicle strategy.
Reason for sale
The owners are restructuring their business interests and have decided to divest the campervan rental activity while retaining other assets and investments.

Further financial and operational information can be made available to qualified interested parties following initial discussions and, where appropriate, the execution of a confidentiality agreement.
