I've just booked up 18 days touring Portugal and started looking at hire cars for the trip.

I thought about going by ferry from the UK but :24 hours on a ferry is just too much for us.

So I thought, what about if shipping the Aston to meet me in Lisbon, and then ship it back at the end. Don't really want the slog through France, and the extra time is not available.

Anyone know a company that can do this safely?

Have requested a quote from cars Europe, looks like top quality but maybe top prices

Have you considered shipping the car to bilbao and flying out, driving across the Picos into northern Portugal?
We are flying to Lisbon then doing a circuit round northern Portugal, up into the mountain area then back to the coast .

Booked flights just thinking I'd hire a car, but then got thinking about shipping the Aston

Not great planning I admit

I’ve used anchor vehicle logistics many times to south of Spain , they do weekly runs
Any idea of cost ? I'll give them a call, Cars Europe want £2,100 each way plus VAT. I'm sure its a great service but a bit much for a 2 week break...
