Trusted Customer | Competitive, efficient and quality car | |
Howard Finnigan | Competitively priced, located on airport at P4 car park, vehicle ready and in good condition, administration completed promptly on collection and drop off. I would recommend Million and would use again. | |
STEVEN BUNNING | We use Masterkings several times a year and are always pleased with their service. The vehicles are good for the price, check in is easy and staff are pleasant. After bad experiences with other car hire companies we don’t feel they are conning us. | |
Charles Coe | very good. | |
Ton Bok | We have rent a good car for a month, in excellent condition for a good price. Very kind staff at the office, very customer friendly! Next time we will definitely rent a car here again. | |
Diane Monk | Always a very professional outfit and very friendly staff. | |
Trusted Customer | Car ready and waiting when we arrived and quickly signed back in on return very good service. | |
Trusted Customer | Had to wait for car on collection as hadn't been cleaned. Staff were quite abrupt with explanations. Return process - a little long winded. Check car by taking loads of photos which is time consuming | |
Trusted Customer | Very good prices and good service! My flight was delayed for four hours, and the staff waited and picked me up at the airport and made everything easy, despite a stressful day. I definitely plan to rent from EPI again! | |
Trusted Customer | Best company I’ve ever used. Excellent customer service. Quick collection and return of the vehicle. The car was in perfect conditions too. I was impressed with the efficiency of the staff | |
ERIC ARMSTRONG | Have used Kings several times and always found them efficient, friendly and good value Will use again | |
Trusted Customer | Price very good. Agent in office very good and most helpful. Car was good also | |
Steven Caines | Excellent experience, no hassle at all | |
Trusted Customer | The pick up and return were both really smooth and quick - though thorough. We had not used them before but will certainly seek to use again | |
Trusted Customer | Have used them for years 😀😂😀😀😀 | |
Vadim Smyrko | best car rent! quick, cheap, no questions. the best! | |
Christopher | Good transport from airport to office and easy check-in and return service. Would recommend. | |
Trusted Customer | Great service, very efficient and timely | |
Gary Plumridge | Easy pickup, return very speedy Great price, full to full fuel, rather than trying to out the right amount in. | |
ian stratford | Pick up and return as simple as could be. Everything is up-front. One of the best on P4 Faro airport. | |
George Holmes | Good professional Service— no problems, except key fob battery went flat and would not let me into vehicle. Price could always be cheaper. NOTE Book a hire car at Faro Airport every year, and every year when I book it appears that it is always a different company that has the best/cheapest deal—so loyalty to a company does not come into the equation. | |
Trusted Customer | First time we have used Drive on holidays, great experience, recommended No issues. | |
Trusted Customer | Fast, cheap, friendly, clean vehicle, WELL DONE | |
John Lindley | I can’t fault the car provided or the service I received. | |
PETER Wells | Greeted at Faro airport with the Drive on Holidays shuttle bus waiting. (always a bonus). The bus had a courtesy step, a Godsend for my wife. The journey was less than five minutes and the staff were waiting to welcome us to go through the pleasant process of completing the pick up of an almost new Peugeot 308, a surprise upgrade from the VW Polo we were expecting. Sat Nav + Cruise Control + Free Additional Driver made me feel like I was Dick Turpin. The car was spotless, faultless and oh so economical. Drop off was similarly friendly and professional with the shuttle bus again there ready and waiting to be dropped off back at the airport. There are very few brilliant Car Hire companies, and far too many overly keen to find any excuse to charge an excess. Drive on Holidays is one of the best. Would not hesitate to recommend. They hoped for a 9 out of 10. They were being modest! 10/10 ❤️ | |
Trusted Customer | Quick pick-up and return. However, the car was very dirty. Especially the seats were disgusting and the interior side of windows were dirty. | |
Trusted Customer | Good service | |
Trusted Customer | Car was fine, people were friendly and helpful. Only issue was the large deposit on your credit card for the duration of the rental + 14 days before getting this returned. Be careful on the state of the car rental and be sure to take pictures of the car in before and after condition. | |
Roger Howells | All good | |
Damien Rowe | Easy to find, quick to collect and return. Would definitely use again. | |
Nigel Spencer | Good service near airport easy to walk to from P4 carpark nice cars only down side was flight 2hrs late and got charged late pick up €50 which I thought was a bit steep but not there fault | |
Trusted Customer | Collected the car in the evening. It was already scratched and scraped - not good condition. Returned the car in the daytime, at end of rental, and were charged for damage we did not do. | |
Christian Ludovico Stollberg | I recently rented a car from Drive4Fun and overall, my experience was quite positive. The rental process was straightforward and the staff were friendly and helpful. While there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about my experience, there were also no major issues or complaints. The car itself was reliable and clean, and the price was reasonable. If you're looking for a hassle-free car rental experience at a fair price, Drive4Fun is a solid choice. | |
Trusted Customer | It was very easy and straightforward process to get the car from this agency. The staff were very helpful and gave all the information before hand. The car was in good condition and any issue in the car was notified and they acknowledged immediately. Even handing over the car was very straightforward and it was checked immediately and acknowledged. | |
Anna Elisabeth Huber | Alles war super perfekt und easy | |
Trusted Customer | Excellent service start to finish | |
Trusted Customer | Arrived at stated location P4 Faro airport at time stated2.00pm. No minibus pickup waited the obligatory 15min all other companies back and forth but no Surprise. For the next hour we phoned 8 times and different numbers all putting me through to a prerecorded system ultimately to the actual pickup garage but again nobody answered. Eventually minibus arrived and not a word of apology or concern this was replicated by the desk clerk who’s only comment was the phone system is the responsibility of head office. Car was very poor Opal Corsa had over 24 recorded pieces of damage 68000 km exhaust blowing out slightly. It was old and very poor quality. Will not rush to use company again | |
James Bond | P4 car park at Faro airport, polite, professional and easy to deal with. | |
Trusted Customer | Have used Masterkings previously and always found the staff to be friendly and professional. Local administration completed efficiently and vehicle immediately available in P4 car park and in very good condition. Would highly recommend. | |
Denise Collins | Well organised, on time, and very pleasant and helpful staff. good car | |
Julia C | Great service, great car and very competitive prices. Would happily use again. | |
Nicholas Waite | Generally good but would be concerned how they would cope during very busy times; seem to be small, limited staff. Staff member had to go off site ( from P4 ) to fetch our car on arrival and we had to wait for staff to arrive when we dropped our car off. We have used them before without such issues. | |
Adriaan Brandhorst | . | |
Virginia Evans | Very convenient pick-up just outside the exit of terminal building. Extremely short ride to car rental building (you could almost walk there). Very quick and efficient car exchange, and very helpful and polite at every point. Would definitely recommend this company. | |
Philip Michael walker | Clean modern car . Excellent support from the company. | |
Robert Witlox | Very pleasant and flexible staff👍👍 | |
Trusted Customer | Great car and service from Masterkings at Faro airport. 🙂 | |

RB | Always an easy and non complicated rental with polite staff and good cars | |
Paul Reilly | Excellent service Waiting to meet me when I picked car up and drop off | |
Sean Honnor | Speedy check in process, polite and helpful staff. Good transfer from and to airport. | |
Henrica van den Brand van Genuchten | The bail for the xar was much too high. | |
Trusted Customer | very efficient and helpful have used them many times | |
Trusted Customer | Excellent car, easy collection and drop off and efficient return to airport. It’s low season but I had a great deal. | |
Trusted Customer | Saves time as it is based at the airport | |
Steven Bunning | The car was in good condition, the price was fair and customer service Really good | |
Trusted Customer | Booking this thro Enjoy Travel I couldn’t believe how little I paid. I was I initially disappointed that I had to use their shuttle service but this turned out to be no hassle. The staff were very friendly and for some reason I appear to have received an upgrade on my original hire. I was pleased that the excess deposit was only blocked on my credit card as other providers always took the payment and with exchange rates and bank charges always left me out of pocket. The return process was straight forward as everything apart from the visual check was computerised and only took a few minutes. The block on my credit card was advised to take 3 days but was removed the same day, which had never happened before. I will definitely consider using this company again in the future | |
Trusted Customer | The whole process of booking, picking up and returning the car went very smoothly | |
Trusted Customer | took an hour to get the car that is very unusual for kings | |
Christine Simmons | Transfer both to and from airport very good. Staff pleasant and efficient The car provided was as requested. Will be using Surprice again. | |
Christina Wahl | It was great | |
Martin Bustard | Prompt collection by airport taxi driver. Polite staff. Very efficient. Would recommend this car hire company. Thank you. | |
Gerard Meehan | Great service car was excellent. A bit of a wait at airport. Needed to phone and told minibus was on its way. Would recommend you phone when you reach the meeting point. The company garage is a fair distance from airport. Would drop a pin on phone when you get there to help navigate back on returning car. No issues with car admin and staff very friendly. Reasonably priced so worth the slight distance from airport | |
Derek Chadwick | Car was good and price ok. The admin was terribly slow and then we had to wait for the car to arrive. Need to use big tech to pre enter most of the details, particularly regular users like myself. | |
David Harvey | I have used Masterkings about a dozen times, I have not yet had a poor experience. This time I collected an Opel Corsa from Faro in excellent condition, with lots of extras at very little cost. The Masterkings representative was great and on returning they even let me off the €30 extra for early morning return. I have no reason not to recommend them and I will use them again. | |
Trusted Customer | Very helpful and flexible. I made a mistake while booking my car which I didn't notice until I was at the destination. They arrange everything and organised me a car the day before I booked. Loved the staff there. | |
Chris Haresign | We use goldcar regularly and generally very happy but this time something happened that has unnerved me. A day before returning the car I received an email confirming my car had been returned the previous day with chargeable damage. My contract number, my car registration number, but a photo of a different colour car. Several emails and a phone call later plus a face to face conversation when I took the car back I am not liable for any damage to any car and haven’t been charged. But I can’t have the electronic confirmation that I usually receive to confirm my car was satisfactorily returned as so far as their system is concerned it all happened 2 days earlier and there was damage. So really not a great conclusion to what had been a perfectly acceptable hire arrangement. I am left checking my credit card regularly to see if a charge has popped up that has nothing to do with me. I booked through a broker, Enjoy Travel, and whilst I reported everything to them at the time they have been utterly useless. | |
David Owen | The agent was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and greeted us warmly. He also helped with unloading the luggage from the car and putting it on the trolley when we returned the car. A very easy pick up and drop off system. | |
David Arthur | We booked a Ford Focus Estate as we would be a family of 5. We were given a Kia Proceed which was a nice car but lacked space on the back seat for 3 people - disappointing |
