Car Rentals in Faro

The city is walkable but the best way to tour Faro and the Algarve region is by car. Having a car rental in Faro will allow you to reach all the secluded areas and beaches along the south Portuguese coast. Praia de Faro is the main beach in Faro that you can get to in about 20 minutes with your economy car rental. In the western Algarve, there is the beach town of Lagos that you can get to in about one hour with your passenger van rental. Apart from beaches, you can drive north of Faro less than a half an hour away to see the small village of Estoi. The Estoi Palace and Mileu Roman Ruins are worth your time. When parking your rental car in Faro and around the Algarve region, you’re most likely to come across self-appointed car park attendants that guard parking spots and demand money if they give up their spot to you.

When driving in a new country, it’s always a good idea to check for any different laws that you may not be used to. In Portugal, they drive on the right-hand side of the road. They also use the metric system, so all signs and speed limits will be marked in kilometers. Unbroken white lines cannot be crossed nor can you turn left, especially when there are double lines. In Portugal, they prefer using traffic circles to large intersections with traffic lights. Remember to yield to the vehicles already circling. Nevertheless, we think it’s best you check with Faro’s department of motor vehicles just in case there are any law updates or changes.

When picking up your car rental in Faro and if you hold a driver’s license from a foreign country part of the European Union or a U.S. driver’s license, you won’t be required to have an International Driver’s Permit. We recommend you do have this permit if you are visiting from somewhere else, especially if your country’s document is not in the Latin alphabet.
