KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Albufeira

  • Whether you are in the Algarve region for a day or a month, the Albufeira region is a must-visit to get a taste of the Portuguese lifestyle. To get the most out of exploring Albufeira, consider renting a car. Cheap car rentals in Albufeira provide convenience like no other. Consider renting a compact car that is easy to maneuver through the narrow roads, especially the 1-mile road famously known as "The Strip." The Strip is the pinnacle of Portuguese nightlife and can get crowded during summer. The famous road is 3 km away from the city center. An automatic transmission car would best serve your commuting needs in Albufeira.
  • To stay on top of yours and your passengers' safety, keep to the speed limit and drive on the right side of the road. Albufeira becomes busy by night, which calls for extra concentration when driving your car. Most Albufeira car rentals have a traffic code that is provided to the driver upon arrival. Familiarize yourself with the traffic code of Portugal. Additionally, sit your kids in the backseat with the doors locked for extra safety. Driving under the influence is an offense in Albufeira. Ensure your blood-alcohol concentration is no more than 0.5 g/l if you indulge.
  • To get your favorite set of wheels in Albufeira, you need a driver’s license and a credit card under the same name. Some cheap car rentals in Albufeira accept cash as well. Before renting a car, check the fees and the penalty charges, if any. Book through KAYAK to take the guesswork out of getting car rental services in Albufeira. You may also need an insurance policy before renting a car, depending on your age and the type of car. Browse through various of car rental options to find one that best reflects your needs.
  • To get the most out of your visit to this tourist capital of the Algarve, car hire in Albufeira is the way to go. It will give you all the independence you need to be able to strike out on a whim for one of the many tourist spots in the city and along the coast on which it lies. You’ll want to head for the beaches first, and the pick of them is Praia dos Pescadores. You can also go further off the beaten track and visit Krazy World, which is a combination of mini zoo, reptile sanctuary and theme park, or take a 20-minute drive from Albufeira to the Castelo de Paderne ruins.
  • The only international airport in the Algarve is Faro Airport, just under 30 miles away from Albufeira. You can pre-book your car hire and pick up your vehicle at the airport very easily. All the major operators at the airport will deliver your car to the car park located outside the main terminal. It’s a very short walk from the building’s exit. With your Albufeira car hire all sorted out, you can set off on your exploration of the area, or head straight into town if you’re staying in the resort itself.
  • Being a busy tourist resort, Albufeira lends itself to walking around the entire centre of town all the way down to the beach. Naturally the implications for driving are that you need to keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians, and should watch your speed, even if you’re well within the posted speed limit. The old town centre is an area that isn’t particularly conducive to car travel, with its narrow streets lined with fisherman’s cottages. It’s better to park your car and explore this district, Largo Engenheiro Duarte Pacheco, on foot.
  • The combination of residents and tourists in Albufeira creates quite a build-up during rush hour times. These peak between 07:30 and 09:00 in the mornings and again in the late afternoons, usually from around 16:00 to 17:30. Bear in mind that this is a seasonal destination, so congestion is likely to be worse in season, which would be the during the European summer months. At this time of year, be careful during lunch times as well, as many tourists are walking to and from restaurants, particularly on the beachfront. You should also try to avoid main roads like the N125.

The staff at the Albufeira location were kind and helpful with the check-in process and picking up the car. During drop off at the Faro Airport location, the one male employee working the desk was rude and useless when I asked about a charge on my credit card from Sixt which was an amount above what I was told I would be charged.
