✨ Embrace the enchantment: Vanlife Vintage Blue Classics in Portugal

Travelling through Portugal with Vanlife Vintage Blue Classics is not just about renting a vehicle. It is an experience beyond time, where the romance of the past meets the comfort of today, along Portugal’s sunlit roads.

Carefully restored vintage vans and motorhomes, breathtaking coastal landscapes, authentic villages, rich culture and generous gastronomy — every moment becomes a lasting memory deeply connected to the soul of Portugal.

Slow down. Take your time. Let vanlife guide you.

🚐 A passion first and foremost

What drives us is simple and genuine: a love for travel and a passion for iconic vehicles. Since 2007, Blue Classics has been restoring, preserving and sharing legendary vehicles, each with its own story and character.

Every model is unique, fully restored by hand by our team. Handmade upholstery, soft pastel colours and carefully crafted details give each vehicle its own personality.

🔧 Craftsmanship & reliability in Portimão

Based in Portimão, our team is made up of vintage vehicle restoration specialists. At the Blue Classics workshop, every van and motorhome is fully rebuilt, respecting its original identity while enhancing comfort for modern vanlife.

Each vehicle benefits from:

• a complete mechanical overhaul,

• custom-made comfort upgrades,

• strict quality controls ensuring safety, reliability and peace of mind.

Vehicles are collected directly from our workshop in Portimão, where your journey truly begins.

🔑 Key collection & vehicle access

At Blue Classics, we have deliberately chosen a remote online check-in combined with secure key access, offering greater flexibility and efficiency.

This system allows:

• reduced waiting times,

• arrivals outside office hours,

• fewer queues during high season,

• optimised costs, enabling competitive pricing without compromising quality or safety.

To ensure proper preparation between rentals, vehicles must be returned by 10:00 am, and check-in is available from 3:00 pm. Earlier access may be possible if the vehicle is fully prepared, but cannot be guaranteed.

How it works:

• Keys are placed in a secure key box

• A video check-in is completed on arrival (exterior, interior, dashboard)

• Exact vehicle GPS location is sent by email before arrival

🌊 Blue Classics — since 2007 We don’t rent vehicles. We create memories.
