Faro Airport is 4km (around 2.5 miles) from the city centre. From Faro, you can drive to the nearby tourist hotspots of Albufeira, Vilamoura, Portimao and Alvor, to name but a few. Each year, we help holidaymakers from all over the world flying into Faro Airport find great car hire deals.

How do I find the best car hire deals at Faro Airport?

Finding cheap car hire at Faro Airport is simple: search today and compare all major car hire companies (like Budget, Avis and Hertz) as well as local firms (such as Guerin). Before booking the cheapest deal, be sure to read the customer reviews and see how each car hire company at Faro Airport is rated. These reviews and ratings are real feedback other customers have provided, and they can be found next to each car listing.

Most people worry about additional fees and hidden costs when hiring cars. It is usual for one-way rentals, drivers aged under 25, and additional drivers to incur additional fees. Likewise, car hire companies charge for driving ‘extras’, such as child seats and GPS rentals which you pay for on arrival.

However, we will let you know what fees you are expected to pay to the company when picking up your car — before committing yourself to anything.

The prices we find are often exclusive to Rentalcars.com, so by booking through us you can save money and avoid credit card charges — as well as having peace of mind knowing what to expect from the company you choose.

What choice of cars are there to hire at Faro Airport?

You can choose from an extensive range of hire cars at Faro Airport, from mini and economy cars (easy to park, with either two or four doors), right through to estates, convertibles, luxury cars and 9-seater people carriers.

Depending on which car hire company you choose, the pick-up location may vary; some companies are based in the terminal, while others are off-site (there will either be a shuttle bus or a ‘meet and greet’ service to take you to your car — and booking with an off-site company might save you more than you expected).

If you want to tailor the search results to show cars that are best-suited to your needs, use the handy side bar: you can filter the results based on the supplier, rating, pick-up location, size, fuel policy and specifications (like air conditioning and automatic transmission).
