Questions, answered.
Straight answers to the first things you’ll want to know.
What exactly am I paying for?
Space on a Viabrio van, for at least 6 months. You choose the side, the size and the spot. We have your logo printed and fitted, included in your price, and the van will carry it as it works the Algarve’s roadsides.
How much does it cost?
From €134 per square per month, plus VAT (IVA) at 23%. A square is 40 × 40 cm, and squares on the rear doors cost a little more. The van page shows the exact price as you choose. Printing and fitting are included.
When do I pay, and how?
When you reserve, securely through Stripe: the first month and one month in advance. After that, payments are monthly, always a month ahead. If the van isn’t on the road yet, your first month starts the day it starts work (or on the 1st of the month you chose, if that is later), and the monthly payments a month after that.
How long do I sign up for?
Six months at least. After that, it runs month to month for as long as you like.
How do I stop?
Email hello@viabrio.org. We stop the payments once your 6-month minimum is covered (if you tell us earlier, they continue until then), and the month you’ve paid in advance runs out with your logo still on the van. Then we take it off.
Can you say no to my logo?
Yes. We review every logo after you pay. If we can’t approve yours, we tell you why, refund everything you paid, automatically, cancel the monthly payments and free your squares.
Is my spot kept while I pay?
Yes. While you’re on Stripe’s payment page, your squares are held for half an hour. Once you’ve paid, they’re yours, also while we review your logo.
Is the van already on the road?
Each van’s page tells you. We sell the space before we buy a van, so sponsors come first. A van marked “Planned” isn’t on the road yet: your first month starts the day it starts work (or on the 1st of the month you chose, if that is later), and nothing beyond your first payment is charged until then. After that, too, we only charge you again when the van is on the road, and we show it working on our social networks every day it works.
Will the van pass my hotel or my shop?
The van will work the roadsides of the Algarve, wherever the rubbish is. Sponsorship buys space on the van, not a route, so we can’t promise particular roads or distances.
Can a council, parish or public body sponsor?
Yes, on the same terms as everyone else. If you’d also like to talk about roadside cleaning in your area, write to hello@viabrio.org.
Do prices include VAT, and can they change?
Prices exclude VAT (IVA), which is added at 23%. If our prices change, only new sponsorships pay the new price. Yours stays as agreed.
We’re not a Portuguese business. Can we still sponsor?
Yes. The NIF is optional for businesses outside Portugal, and everything else works the same way.
Do I need my logo ready when I reserve?
No. You can add it to the form, or pay first and email it to hello@viabrio.org afterwards, with your reference. SVG, PNG, JPG or PDF all work. Vector files (SVG or PDF) print sharpest.
What if the van doesn’t go on the road?
If, for any reason, the van isn’t on the road by the date shown on its page (for Van 1, 31 January 2027), we refund everything you paid, in full, and cancel your monthly payments. That is our promise. And once a van is working, if it is off the road on a payment day (for a service or a repair), that payment waits until the van is back on the road, and your later payments move on with it.
