We have arranged a personal first class service for our Car Hire at Faro Airport Algarve. You will be met at Faro Airport by our car hire representatives, who will finalise the paperwork in the airport, and your hire car will be waiting in the car park nearby. You will also return your car to the airport car park after dropping your party at the terminal first. Although most of the car hire companies at Faro use buses to transfer you to and from their off-airport depots, we have made these superior arrangements to avoid this unnecessary procedure.

Hire Car Insurance
Whilst your hire car is fully insured, you will have an excess to pay in the event of an accident or theft. This is just like your voluntary excess on your car insurance at home. The excess will be quoted to you at the time of booking. You can waive this excess by paying a waiver of excess premium at Faro airport on arrival. This will be between 8 to 18 euros per day depending on the group of your car. See below for a cheaper option.
Waiver of Excess
We have arranged a special Insurance for Car Hire to cover you against excess payments in the event of damage or theft. You can take this insurance on an annual basis for £49 per year, or at £3.99 per day for the duration of your holiday. This is a substantial saving on what you will pay in Portugal, eg. Savings of up to £66 per week. The annual insurance will cover you in Europe for whichever car hire company you use, and your years cover can start at any date in the future you decide. We highly recommend you take this cover. The option to take this insurance will be made available to you with your booking confirmation
Baby Seats in Cars
Baby/child seats are compulsory until the age of 5 and are supplied providing you request at the time of booking your holiday. The charge is be 5 euros per day. Please inform us how many seats you require when you complete your booking.

Car Hire Pickup At Faro
Car hire pickup has become a problem at most airports, including Faro, and we are constantly reviewing collection procedures to get you away from Faro airport as quickly as possible after your arrival. Most companies operate a shuttle bus service to their nearby depots where you complete the paperwork and collect and return your car. In our opinion, this is not totally satisfactory for our type of client, and we have therefore made special arrangements with a leading local car hire company for our clients to complete the paperwork at the airport on arrival and also to collect their car there. The car can be returned to the airport parking area, but we recommend that the driver first drops his passengers at the airport in order to queue for check-in, and then returns the car to the parking area returning to the terminal on foot. This facility may be subject to change without notice.
