Faro Airport transfer FAQs
What's the difference between a private transfer and a taxi?
A private transfer is booked in advance just for you — one vehicle, no meter, and no picking up other passengers along the way. Your fare is fixed before you travel, and your driver is already waiting in arrivals with a name sign, rather than you queuing at the taxi rank.
How much does a transfer from Faro Airport cost?
Prices depend on your destination and passenger count. The shortest runs — to Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura or Quarteira — start from €35, with longer routes to Lagos, Alvor or Sagres priced higher. You always see the exact fare before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can, especially in peak season, though we can often accommodate short-notice bookings too. If you're booking within 48 hours of pickup, WhatsApp us directly so we can confirm availability.
How will I recognise my driver at the airport?
We send you your driver's name and vehicle details by WhatsApp before pickup, and they'll be holding a name sign in the arrivals hall as soon as you clear baggage claim.
What happens if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
We track your flight and adjust your pickup at no extra cost if you're delayed — just give us your flight number when you book. If your flight is cancelled, let us know as soon as you can and we'll rearrange or refund your transfer.
Can I book my return transfer at the same time?
Yes — book your outbound and return together, or add a return trip later through the manage-booking link in your confirmation.
How many passengers and how much luggage can you take?
Our booking form matches you with a vehicle sized for your group and bags, for 1 to 8 passengers per vehicle. Golf clubs, bikes and other bulky items travel free — just mention them when you book.
Can I pay by card, or does it have to be cash?
Both work — pay your driver in cash on the day, or by card (a small processing fee applies to card payments).
Are your drivers licensed?
Yes — we operate under RNAVT Licence №4621, Portugal's official licence for passenger transport operators, with fully insured local drivers.
