We offer budget-friendly, low-cost car rental for the times when public transport just won’t cut it. Exploring Faro and its nearby settings by car is one of the best ways to appreciate all that it has to offer. Whether you’re visiting for surfing in the summer or wine tasting in the winter, being well-organised with car rental is essential – particularly in the peak tourism season, which runs from mid-June to mid-September.
