    would imagine you can just book the transfer, after all if you have the quote, surely you can purchase it

    have you thought of booking it yoursel ??

    have a look on tripadvisor, they will have a specific forum for that area/resort

    as i said try resorthoppa - their office is just on your right as you come through arrivals and they park the shuttle bus just outside the terminal.

    I would recommend them on both price and service.
  • Hi,

    Yes you can just book the transfer,I did the same when I went to alicante.

    It was £16 with resort hoppa and £11 with travel republic, when we got to the airport we were directed to the resort hoppa desk, so you'll probably find the same thing.

    everyone to there own

    however I've been to Majorca for the last 3 years
    and going by tripadvisor, Resorthoppa doesn't have a good name

    they seem to wait around for flights to come in
    then drop off on route to hotels rather than a direct service

    don't get me wrong I'm sure many people would swear by them, like I said earlier everyone to there own
  • If you look on http://www.holidaytruths.co.uk/ you can find a list of companies that offer transfers from Faro. I paid £25 each way for a transfer last year (for both of us) with Paradise tours and they have a minibus. Worth a look if you want to avoid per person charges

    Yes, its working out £9.87 return per person for a transfer to Albufeira from Faro Airport it was more expensive when i checked A2B transfers and resort hoppa and some other one i got off trip advisor forum.....can this be right ? thats less than £20 return for us both ?
    we dont mind the drop offs as our flight gets in to Faro at 9.30 am and we may not get into hotel that early as we booked it independantly not as a package............( needs must, its a cheapie break)
  • have a look at; algarvetaxi.com/faroairporttransfers

    when i was there they put groups of people together so that you were all being dropped off at neighbouring hotels and complexes so you wouldn't be driving all over the algarve dropping off.

    Their vehicles were only 8 seater transits so not as if they will have loads of drops anyway
