What to expect
You'll be collected with your bicycle and loaded into a well-equipped van with proper bike-securing apparatus. Once underway, you settle in for a straightforward drive across the border into Portugal. There's no faffing about with transfers or multiple vehicles—everything stays together. The van is cool and stocked with water. Drivers are trained specifically for this work, so your bike gets the same care you do. The journey takes 2–3 hours depending on your exact destination within Portugal.
