Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Faro, Portugal, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 27 April 2024.
  • What are the requirements to hire a car in Faro?

    You can get a car hire in Faro using your UK driver’s licence – there’s no need for an International Driving Permit, as you’ll be under the ambit of EU policy in Portugal. The country is stricter than many when it comes to the minimum age to hire cars in Faro – you’ll have to be at least 25 years old. Check with the providers, though, as some will let you hire one if you’re 21, for a surcharge. If you’re 25 or older, you have a free choice of passenger van hire, economy car hire or luxury car hire in Faro.

  • What are the rules for driving in Faro?

    Familiarise yourself with the local laws before you hire cars in Faro. First off, they drive on the right in Portugal, so be prepared for that adjustment. The speed limit in built-up zones is 50 km per hour (about 30 mph), and you can drive at 90-100 km per hour (about 55-62 mph) on the outskirts of those. The speed limit on motorways is 120 km per hour (just under 75 mph). Children under 12 must sit in the back in a child restraint seat. You can get these when you book car hire in Faro. Portugal's blood alcohol limit is 0.05%. It’s also always a good idea to check for recent law changes on the local authorities’ website before you travel, just to be on the safe side.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Faro?

    The city is right on the southern tip of Portugal, so it enjoys a moderate coastal climate, making almost any vehicle appropriate for car hire in Faro. However, it particularly lends itself to coastal cruising in an air-conditioned saloon or a convertible. If you’re visiting as a family, you can get something larger like an MPV, with good visibility for everyone in this scenic part of the Algarve. Faro itself is part modern resort, part old town, so a compact car or a small SUV is more suitable if you’re spending your stay in the city. You can get cheap car hire in Faro across all vehicle types through Cheapflights.

  • Where are the best places to park in Faro?

    After picking up your Faro car hire, you’ll find parking in the city to be plentiful and very reasonable when it’s not free. There’s a free car park in the central area, Largo de Sao Francisco. This is also where the majority of paid car parks are, arranged in a rough semi-circle around the centrally located Arco da Vila. Many of them are open 24h a day, and they cost around €10 (about £8.40) for the day. Another way to save on your trip is to use Cheapflights to find cheap car hire in Faro and leave more in your pocket for petrol.
