Car Hire:
The easiest and most convenient way to
get around the Algarve is by car, which you can hire for as little as £7
per day from some of the rental companies below. You can either book in
advance online (recommended in peak season) or when you arrive at Faro
airport. By car the Villa is about an hour from Faro airport (see map
below which shows locations).
Driving in
the Algarve:
The road system in the
Algarve is generally very good, though the main routes
are busy in summer and many back roads are no more than dirt tracks. The
speed limit
is 50 kmh (35mph) through towns and villages, 90 kmh (60 mph) on A-roads
outside built-up
areas and 120 kmh (80 mph) on the motorway. Safety belts (front and
back) are compulsory,
and children under 12 are not allowed to ride in the front. Always carry
some
means of identification with you and have car documents to hand
when driving. Failure to
produce identification if stopped by the police may result in a hefty
fine, even if you are blameless in all other respects. |
