KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Monte Gordo
- If you opt for car hire in Monte Gordo, you will find yourself perfectly situated to explore inland Portugal or drive west to the Atlantic coast. Although there is good public transport in Monte Gordo itself, and along the south coast, trams and buses are usually very crowded during the hot summer months. What’s more, if you are relying on local buses to get around, the schedule can be somewhat erratic and may be confusing to visitors, especially if you want to explore outside the town. Hiring a car in Monte Gordo will give you great access to scenic coastal areas, such as the southwest tip of Sagres and the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine National Park, which cannot be reached on public transport.
- The closest international airport to Monte Gordo is Faro Airport (FAO), which is located around 45min away by car and around 1h 30min away by public transport. This makes hiring a car at Faro Airport a great option for passengers arriving by plane. You can pick up your vehicle at the airport from the car hire desks located inside the Arrivals Hall in the main shopping area. You can also find car hire agencies located directly outside the terminals, beside Car Park 1.
- When you choose car hire in Monte Gordo, it is a good idea to familiarise yourself with some conventions and rules of the road in Portugal before you go. If you are driving mainly in the town or around the beachfront area, you should watch out for pedestrians and be ready to stop at pedestrian crossings, where people on foot have right of way. If you plan to drive outside the town and explore more rural areas, be aware that Portuguese drivers go quite fast, so be ready to slow down at bends or on narrow roads, in case you meet oncoming traffic. Meanwhile, if you’re driving on the motorway, watch out for drivers changing lanes without indicating.

You will also find a lot of traffic congestion on the roads leading from Faro to Monte Gordo during these rush hour times, and at the weekends during the summer. If you want to avoid traffic congestion, it is best to travel between 14:00-16:00 in the afternoon, when the roads are quietest. You should also consider using the A22 between Faro and Monte Gordo, instead of the N125. The A22 is a toll road but, usually, traffic flows much faster than on the N125.
