As with all the test centres it is vital you book your test for your returning asap as they you will struggle to get one at short notice. They do not test at weekends so if you are flying on a Monday you will struggle

The clinic in VRSA can do your antigen test for 25 euros, results take 24 hours.. They are just opposite the "COFFEE" coffee shop on the main road.
Are you aware that your day 2 & 8 tests need to be booked through a specific website which you can find the link for on the official Government website?

Yikes, for the PCR 2 and 8 I thought I could book with any company on the gov.uk list but did not know the actual booking have to be channelled via that website. Thanks Mary, I better get checking again.

Good Morning all, have been looking into the testing and checked out Randox but, for us it is the time, travel, journey etc to their drop box - miles away from us. Will be a pain when in Spain too and would be concerned about their receipt of the test and the response time

Following my first post I had made a mistake as I missed out the fact that you need a test to enter Portugal so need to do that before catching a flight from England.

Try www.c19testing.co.uk (Cerulean Healthcare) I have emailed them twice and they have replied quickly. They are on the gov.uk list. The rapid antigen tests 3 days before leaving England and before leaving Portugal/Spain are £29 each. Do the test yourself and upload it to their site with passport details and they respond with your certificate (if negative of course) which you can print off.

The day 2 PCR test on return is £99, Day 2 and day 8 are £180 As Mary said above, no rush to book the tests as we may only need the Day2 BUT, of course, anything and everything could change hopefully for the better but it may not.

SO per person from England to Portugal 2 Rapid Antigens @ £29 each and (hopefully) 1 x day 2 PCR = £99 TOTAL £157 IF Day2 and Day8 PCR on return then the total is £238
The PCR tests can be returned to C19 Testing by Royal Mail

Anyway, if like us you are thinking of travelling it may be worth a look and please do post comments on here - good or bad so we can make the correct choices/

Take Care all

Booking our day 2 PCR tests with Randox via the EasyJet website link @ £43 each. Will be on doormat when we arrive home in UK on 20th July. DPD collect samples, so no need to leave home to complete the test.

Total cost per person £101 for all tests required for our return trip to ES via PT. Have researched well and reckon this is the best solution.
