Car Hire

We act as agents for one of the major Car Hire Companies on the Algarve - AUTO JARDIM - who offer a good selection of excellent cars at very competitive rates. It is advisable to arrange your car hire before you travel, as car hire arranged in Portugal can be more expensive. We can arrange most makes of car to suit your needs from a Group A Corsa (5 doors/5 seater) up to a Group V Mercedes Vito de Luxe (4 door/9 seater).

Middle range cars such as the Ford Fiesta, Renault Clio or the Astra 1.4 manual or automatic are all available and collection is from the Airport compound so there will be no "getting on the bus" if you book with us!

The minimum age for car hire is 21 years and you must have a full British licence - held for at least 12 months which you will be asked to produce when collecting your car. Roof racks and child seats are available - a small extra charge is payable.

Please check our prices before booking car hire through your chosen airline. The prices may appear to be excellent but there are several hidden charges with many of the airlines which are not notified until your arrival at the airport, by which time it is too late.

Our car hire is fully inclusive, includes an extra driver and no further charges will be added except for baby seats and roof racks. Please ensure you have fully comprehensive holiday insurance.

Transfers
If you do not want to hire a car or you just want to get to the villa and have the car delivered to your door shortly after your arrival, we can make arrangements for a private transfer from the Airport to your villa.

An 'EARLY ACCESS' charge of £25.00 (up to 6 people) and £35.00 (7 - 10 people) is available but will automatically be added to your invoice for ALL TRANSFER BOOKINGS with flights arriving at Faro before 11.30am. This will enable you to leave your luggage in the villa and sit by the pool until the maid has completed her cleaning.

When you have a very early arrival into Faro Airport (before 10.00am) you will be asked to wait at the airport until 10.00am before being taken to the villa because ACCESS to the villa is not until 11.00am. 

Prices are per journey 2009/10.

• 1-4 Passengers £50.00 per journey
• 5-6 Passengers £70.00 per journey
• 7-8 Passengers £80.00 per journey

Any abnormal luggage e.g., buggies, cold boxes, golf clubs etc., MUST be notified at the time of booking, so that the correct size vehicle can be reserved.
