Welcome
The beautiful city of Faro lies in southern Portugal and is the capital of the popular Algarve region. Faro is becoming a more and more popular tourist destination as low cost airlines add this city to their routes. With a warm climate and the summer months reaching temperatures in the high 20’s many people choose Faro as a city break or as part of their longer stays in Portugal. Faro has beautiful beaches, lush green vegetation and exotic wildlife such as flamingos that live in the Ria Formosa lagoon. The city of Faro was built in Moorish and medieval times and the still existing walls that surround the town clearly show this. The narrow streets and whitewashed buildings add a real ambience to the city and the beautiful cathedral is a must see. Outside of the Faro you can explore the Algarv and Portugal and all the wonderful sights, sounds and tastes of the local culture.
With Faro airport becoming so popular and all that there is to see and do in Faro and the surrounding area of Portugal, it is not surprising that many visitors now choose car hire as their mode of transport during their stay. Car hire companies such as Alamo, Hertz, National and Sixt are just a few now operating from within the airport. As with most car hire, it is advisable to select and book your car in advance to ensure that you get the car most suitable to your needs and budget. Car hire is simple, you can book directly with the company or through one of the many car hire websites now operating on the internet which may be able to get you a better deal than dealing with the company directly!
