About the Place Faro, Portugal

Faro is a city in the Algarve province and the capital of its own district. With a population of over 65 thousand people, this charming town may be not as popular as Lisbon or Porto, but it is equally important. Faro’s airport, for example, is the third busiest in Portugal with more than five million passengers every year.

Faro has the advantage of being calm for its citizens and visitors, with incredible historical buildings and nice weather all year round — hot summer months are eased by the breeze coming from the sea, giving it an unique feel.

The focus point in Faro are, of course, its beaches. It’s true, they’re a little distant from the city centre (about 6 miles is a lot considering the size of the city), but they surely delight every tourist who visits. Another point of interest is the Ria Formosa Park, a group of lakes and islands with views that are simply breathtaking.

To make the most of Faro, we recommend spending at least a day in the city centre. There you’ll find cozy coffee shops, bars and restaurants surrounded by centenary buildings, such as the City Walls that encircle the Old Town, the Faro Cathedral, Arco da Vila and Algarve’s Regional Museum. Another tip is to look for the ruins of a great earthquake that happened in Portugal in 1755!

If you’re interested in exploring the incredible Faro and the Algarve region, hiring a car is a good option to go through your bucket list at your own pace. Search for your perfect hired car on Rentcars.com comparing the best car hire companies in Portugal!

      In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.

    • Driving Licence

      Each driver must present a full, valid and original national driving licence, held for a minimum of 2 years. If your licence is not in a language used in your destination country, an International Driving Permit to accompany your national driving licence is highly recommended. Some rental companies and government agencies require that you present an IDP. It is the renter's responsibility to present both their IDP and Driver's License when picking up the vehicle. For more information, please reach out to the Rental Company.

The car hire company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The hire company will place a hold in the amount of the required security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher will be charged to the card provided at the hire location.
