Normally, Faro car hire companies will require sight of a valid driving license, passport and a credit card to cover the payment for the insurance excess in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle. The car availability is wide from a small car such as a clio to an executive style like a Mercedes. Additionally, to cater for larger parties and of course baggage including golf bags, people carriers are also available. A guide to the average car hire costs would be about €100 - €150 a week for a standard saloon car dependent on season but would recommend that you obtain at least 3 prices prior to choosing. For those with children or babies, suitable baby and child seat are also available.
Our suggestions when booking a car in the Algarve is to clarify if the vehicle has air conditioning particularly during the summer months, the insurance cover and excess details as some companies will wave the excess penalty for a slightly higher car charge and the requirements of the return of the car regarding the re-fuelling of the vehicle.In addition, when booking with children in mind, ensure that the correct seating is made available prior to taking the car.
