Fast and affordable road freight services
For those in the UK, Portugal is probably best known as a tourist destination. The Algarve, historic Lisbon, medieval villages like Obidos and Monsaraz, or charming fishing villages such as Nazare, Tavira or Ericeira.
International Freight to Portugal
Road freight to Portugal is simple with Barrington Freight, even with post-Brexit customs requirements. We still provide fast and efficient service: 5-7 days for groupage, 3-4 days for a full load, and 2-3 days for express delivery.

The Portuguese Republic is named after the (historically) largest city, Porto and is split into eighteen separate districts: Aveiro, Beja, Braga, Braganca, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Evora, Faro, Guarda, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Porto, Santarem, Setubal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real and Viseu. Traditionally known for textiles, shoes, clothes, and the world’s largest cork producer, Portugal is now active in high tech exports, snowmobiles, and golf carts.
