Freight Transport: flexible and smart solutions for your business.
Freight transport is vital to the portuguese economy. Every day, thousands of goods are moved across the country, reaching shops, companies and end customers efficiently.
This constant flow keeps small businesses running, strengthens local logistics, and fuels new business ventures. Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, efficient cargo transportation should never be a barrier. Xtracars gives you a simple and practical way to move your goods without long-term commitments.
Why cargo transportation matters for entrepreneurs of all sizes.
In Portugal, freight transport is carried out via road, rail, and sea. Among these, road transport leads the way, especially for short-haul and urban deliveries.
Within this category, light cargo transportation has become increasingly popular due to its agility, lower costs, and accessibility. It’s an ideal solution for:
- Urban deliveries
- Small-scale removals
- Seasonal businesses
- Online shops
- Temporary event setups
- Freelancers or tradespeople carrying tools or materials
How cargo van subscriptions work at Xtracars.
If any of the above scenarios resonate with you, now might be the time to consider smarter alternatives to buying or leasing a commercial vehicle.
Xtracars offers a flexible solution: a subscription-based model for cargo vans with everything included. No down payment, no paperwork and total cost control.
Here’s how it works:
- Choose your vehicle: select the dates, pick-up and return location. Once confirmed via email, all that’s left is your fixed monthly fee.
- Pick up your van: with over 25 locations across mainland Portugal and the islands, it’s easy to find one near you.
- Use it as needed: choose between 1 and 12 months. You only pay for the time you actually use.
- Easy payment: create your account and pay online. Return early? We’ll adjust the rate. No hidden fees.
- Renew or switch: at the end, decide whether to extend your rental or choose a new van.
At Xtracars, you can select the van that fits your freight transport needs, define the rental period, and collect it from the most convenient location. No hassle, no long-term contracts.
Because we know the road can be unpredictable, you can also add extra services to your subscription:
- Premium Road Assistance – added protection in case of breakdowns or unforeseen events.
- Toll Service – automatic toll management for easier, faster travel.
Whether you’re a freelancer, managing a small business, or planning an event, Xtracars offers tailored solutions for your cargo transportation needs. Every subscription includes:
- Third-party and comprehensive insurance (with excess)
