Algarve2u

Planning a holiday in the Algarve always begins with the excitement of discovering the famous golden sand beaches, hidden coves, and authentic Portuguese gastronomy.

​However, any experienced traveler knows that the tone of the entire holiday is largely set by the very first hour spent on Portuguese soil. Instead of wasting precious time in long queues for car rentals or looking for last-minute solutions in front of the terminal, you can start your journey in peace, benefiting from a 10% discount on all Faro Airport Transfers.

​This promotion is designed to bring extra comfort and accessibility to any stay, providing private transport services of the highest standard, at fair and transparent rates.

Why a private transfer remains the ideal solution upon arrival in Faro

Faro International Airport is the central transport hub for the entire southern region of Portugal. During holiday periods, the large influx of tourists often makes public transport crowded, rigid in terms of schedule, and quite inconvenient if you have bulky luggage or are traveling with loved ones.

Choosing a specialized Faro airport transfers service simplifies the entire arrival experience:

  • Meet & Greet straight in the terminal: A dedicated driver awaits you at the exit of the baggage reclaim area, holding a sign with your name on it, so you don’t waste any time looking for the car.
  • Automatic flight monitoring: Even if your flight is delayed or lands early, the pickup schedule is automatically adjusted, without any extra costs.
  • Direct, door-to-door journey: No intermediate stops, no idle time, and no detours through other resorts. You arrive straight at the door of your accommodation.
  • Fixed prices, no surprises: You know the final rate from the booking stage, with no fluctuations caused by heavy traffic or night surcharges.

How to benefit from the offer: 10% discount on all Faro Airport Transfers

Accessing this discount is very easy, directly on the booking platform, and it applies to any destination in the region, whether for a one-way trip or round-trip packages:

  1. Enter your flight details: Specify the date of arrival, flight number, and the exact address of the hotel or villa where you are staying.
  2. Choose the right vehicle: Depending on the size of your group, you can opt for a spacious executive car or a comfortable minivan with a generous capacity.
  3. Confirm via email: You will immediately receive all the details of your booking and direct contact info for customer support.

Spacious minivans: Ultimate comfort for families and groups

For those traveling with family, friends, or special luggage (such as equipment for the golf courses in Vilamoura or Vale do Lobo), generous space in the car is essential:

  • Capacity of up to 8 seats: Each passenger enjoys ample legroom and a comfortable position throughout the journey.
  • Extremely spacious trunk: Suitable for multiple large suitcases, strollers, and bulky sports bags.
  • Independently adjustable climate control: Maintains a cool and pleasant atmosphere, regardless of the heat outside.
  • Child safety features: On request, vehicles are equipped free of charge with approved car seats and boosters complying with road regulations.

Our drivers are professionals with extensive experience on the roads of southern Portugal—polite, fluent in English, and always ready to offer useful local tips to make your holiday as successful as possible.

Fast connections to the main destinations in the Algarve
Regardless of the resort you have chosen, a private transfer ensures a quick and safe journey across the region’s road network:

  • Albufeira: The vibrant tourist heart of the coast, about 35–40 minutes away.
  • Vilamoura & Quarteira: The cosmopolitan destination of marinas and golf courses, reachable in about 25 minutes.
  • Lagos & Praia da Luz: The spectacular western area, with impressive cliffs and unique landscapes, under an hour’s drive away.
  • Carvoeiro & Ferragudo: Picturesque settlements full of traditional charm, located about 45 minutes away.
  • Tavira & the eastern coast: A quiet area, appreciated for its historical architecture and authentic atmosphere.

Useful recommendations for a worry-free journey

  • Provide exact flight details: This allows for the perfect synchronization of the driver’s arrival with the actual landing of the aircraft.
  • Mention the need for child car seats: Ensure the comfort and safety of the little ones by specifying their age in the booking form.
  • Book a round-trip transfer: Take advantage of the 10% discount for both segments of the trip and escape the stress of organizing your return journey to the airport.

10 Places not to miss in Portimao – Part 1

1155x510_praia-da-rocha

Summer is here and it is the very best time to be in Portugal, by the ocean, drinking a cocktail and reading a good book on the rocky beaches. Today we give you 10 Places not to miss in Portimao, a city that in itself is not to be missed if you are ever in the sunny and shiny Algarve.

  1. Praia da Rocha is the most famous and transited beach in Portimao. It offers some of the most staggering views of the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by the dramatic cliffs that dominate the sea landscape of the Algarve.
  2. The Portimao Museum is an award-winning cultural establishment, one that harbors some of the most famous archeological relics in the entire Algarve. It is a destination not to miss. I know I, for one, never leave a town without visiting a museum, so this is my recommendation for the day.
  3. Canico Restaurant is a place to visit to satiate your hunger. You can enjoy the local delicacies in a wonderful ambient, surrounded by the wonderfully scenic landscapes of the sea (actually – never forget: the Atlantic Ocean)!
  4. TEMPO might mean “time” in Portuguese. But it also stands for Teatro Municipal de Portimão, the local theatre, where you can see some of the best reenactments of modern and classical plays alike.
  5. The best sightseeing spot in Portimao is the Portimao Marina. It is the place where everyone comes to take a picture (or a boat). It is also the place where old and young people alike can come to take their first surf lessons. And let’s not forget that Portugal is one of the best places where you can practice this sport

If you need a lift, you can rent a car in Portimao and the best thing is you will get a very good rate if you know where to look. (Start by looking online, actually).
