Best transit depends on your specific itinerary - but with 6 people I would rent a van.
As for hotels you need to give a specific budget - in dollars or euros - and how many people you plan on putting in each room. I wold do a search to see what - if anything - is open on Christmas or New Year's Day.
You should be aware that if you do rent a car the drop off fees Spain-Portugal are very high. If you are going for two weeks maybe you could rent a van in each country. Unless you are returning it to the original country.
We just rented an apartment for 5 people for three nights with Sevilla5.com for 185 euros including small breakfast .
