FaroCar - Comparison

Faro Car Hire Algarve Car Rental Portugal

If you are comparing rates with other sites please read below.

We receive many queries about some "Amazing" rates shown by other websites, and in many cases also featuring free "No Excess" Insurance.

There are usually 3 different insurances shown online:

a) Third Party Insurance with Excess - This basic insurance does not protect your vehicle in several circumstances and you may end up paying more than the announced excess, it is highly advisable that you verify their "terms & conditions" and look for their insurance exceptions.

b) Full Insurance with Excess - This insurance fully protects the vehicle but has an excess amount which is set by each agent.
Several other car agents will always charge the full excess amount even if the damage cost is minor or inferior than the excess.

c) Full Insurance without Excess - This insurance fully protects the vehicle in the event of an accident without any excess fee.
Some other websites announce Full Insurance with "No Excess" but your credit card will still be charged for the excess, and later you'll have to prepare yourself for an endless paperwork, and official documents which will take your time and money in order to eventually get your excess payment refunded.

Unfortunately other websites may also hide some additional costs:
- Road Tax
- Credit Card Fee
- Fuel Fee
- Higher Currency Exchange Rates
- Vehicle Cleaning Fee
- Sales person very persistent on selling several "optional" insurances

Did you know ?
a) Going cheap on your car hire holidays can also put your life at risk, several of the cheap companies save money on maintenance, tires, parts and unqualified staff.

b) Several other websites will not guarantee that your previously booked model will be available at the time of your arrival, and eventually in high season they will also phone call you last minute to cancel your booking.

Our fuel policy is very simple, return the hired vehicle with the same level of petrol as when you collected.
