Top tips for hiring 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.

With their offices being a short walk from the terminal, you’ll find it quick and easy to rent a car for your vacation.

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

Sep 2019
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

We felt like we were forced into paying for insurance and that this was a hidden fee that made the rental not nearly the deal that we thought it was when we booked online. Staff were helpful and pleasant and the car was fine, but we felt a little bit like we had been taken advantage of.10.0 Wonderful
