Top tips for renting a car in Faro
- Outside of Lisbon, people in Portugal tend to drive more slowly than the speed limit, making driving through this amazing country and neighboring Spain a relaxed and stress-free endeavor. With a cheap car rental in Faro, you also don't have to worry about dragging your luggage around. You can pop it in the trunk and leave it until you need it. And when you have a Faro car rental with air-conditioning, you don’t have to worry about the heat in the warmer months.
- When comparing prices of rental car companies in Faro, it is important to keep in mind that while larger international name companies tend not to make a big deal out of small scratches, bargain-basement local companies will tend to charge you for every nick and scratch they find. You will need to take that into account while comparing prices. But then again, driving is so relaxed in Portugal that accidents and mishaps are rare compared to the US. Still, it is important that when you rent your car, you examine it carefully beforehand, because every tiny mark counts.
- Faro car rentals will require that you get CDW insurance, but this is true of all car insurance companies in Portugal. Furthermore, because CDW is compulsory, the price of it is generally included in the advertised price of renting the car. As for additional insurance, travel credit cards often have insurance for a rented car, so you would not want to be paying for the same insurance twice.
- Take a scenic drive in your rental 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 rental 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.
- 25% of our users found rental cars in Faro for $22 or less
- Book your rental car in Faro at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Faro are around 27% cheaper than other car types, on average

Aug 2018
Pros:
Friendly, professional and efficient pick up. New car that worked well and was clean.Cons:
The drop off was a bit of a mess. I was sent to one office, then another where there was a queue but initially told I should go back to the first office before being told to join the second office with the long queue ... hope you’re still following. After that I’d to wait a further ten minutes before they realised that most of us in the queue were dropping off so they gave us priority as we had flights to catch. Other than that everything went well.10.0 Wonderful
May 2017
Pros:
Staff were quick and friendly. Although the wait in line was a little long. Car itself was in very good condition. Hyundai i30. Only issue I had with it was the parcel shelf in the back had been broken by a previous user and it made noises whilst driving so I had to remove itSixt

Pros:
The staff was quick, clear, friendly, patient and overall highly efficient.Cons:
The car I requested was unavailable and the car we did receive was not nearly as comfortable or as efficient when it came to fuel economy. I bought an insurance policy through Allianz and it didn't show up in the system which made our pick up a bit more difficult. No fault of the Sixt representativ10.0 Wonderful

Dec 2018
Pros:
The return of the car was very smooth and the female employee who took care of us was very kind and expedient. The pick up was quick once we had keys and the car was in good condition.Cons:
The women at the counter were not helpful and the service was poor. They did not know the terms and conditions of the company (i.e. what coverage is included in a specific fare) and they didn’t have them handy so we could read them ourselves. After asking several times for them, they realized they were framed in small print on the wall right next to them. The car report was missing several damages so we had to take photos upon picking it up. There also seems to be a glitch on the website as I could not access the terms and conditions for the Avis office in Faro in English, even if that was an option on your menu. This would all have been ok had the Avis staff been more professional and experienced.8.4 Very good
