Car Rental in Faro - TUI CARS

Explore the south of Portugal by car. The region is known for its beautiful sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters. One of the most beautiful destinations in the Algarve, the small island of Ilha Deserta, can only be reached by ferry from Faro. A dune-scape covered with flowers and blue thistles forms the backdrop for a secluded sunny beach reminiscent of the Caribbean.

Once you have loaded the picnic basked in your car and are good-to-go, say goodbye to Faro and simply head to Porta Nova, the new port below the old town to find the ferry to the island. Ilha Deserta has a small restaurant, and beach chairs and umbrellas are available for a small rental fee. Pick up your hire car at Faro Airport and start your dream holiday.

Leaving Faro in your hire car you will be tempted to head straight to one of the most important nature reserves in Europe, home to countless bird species, such as flamingos, white storks and grey herons. Shortly before sunset, the birds rise en masse from their feeding places in Ria Formosa. The sight of this natural phenomenon will remain etched in your memory.

From the car rental office in Faro take the road towards Olhão to get to the natural park, where many guided hikes, bike rides and canoe tours begin. An excursion on a fishing boat through the canals and lagoons of Ria Formosa is well worth while. The skipper takes you to secluded sandbanks, where you can swim in the crystal-clear waters of the lagoons.

If you want to actively organise your holiday, you should hire a car in Faro with TUI Cars and explore the beaches of the Algarve your way. The impressive panorama roads on the south coast of Portugal invite you go on a tour of discovery, which leads through small fishing villages and lively tourist haunts. In a cabriolet you soak up the unique atmosphere on the sunny coast of Portugal even more intensely.

One of the most popular destinations on your round trip in a hire car from Faro is the Fortaleza de Sagres. This unusual sea fort has been declared a national monument and sits on steep cliffs in the Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park in the southwestern tip of Portugal. Explore Faro and the surrounding area, even as far as Lisbon - it's well worth it.
