Faro Car Hire

Top tips for renting a car in Faro

• Take a scenic drive in your hire car along the coast of Faro. Along the route you’ll run into numerous beaches, golf courses, and fishing villages. There is so much to do and see in the region when you have a car including partying at nightclubs, dining at fine restaurants, or having fun at the amusement park.
• Algarve is a popular tourist destination in Portugal. Most travelers to this region opt to fly into its capital of Faro because it is the largest and closest airport. Faro International Airport has several hire car companies onsite including Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise. With their offices being a short walk from the terminal, you’ll find it quick and easy to rent a car for your vacation.
• In Faro, note that many of the freeways have toll stops, so you should become familiar with the fees. Because you don’t know your way around yet, keep to the right when on the highway to stay safe and allow others to pass you with ease. Finally, be aware that drivers in Portugal do not use their turn signals. Consequently, someone could turn quickly in front of you so you should always drive with caution.
• Although it is a main city, Faro has a population of less than 70,000. Therefore, it does not have a lot of traffic. Its busiest times for driving, however, are between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., when residents are commuting to work, and from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., when they are returning home.
