    I've used economycarhire.com at Faro a few years back with no problems. They are a UK company who act as agents for the car rental firms.
    Met the car hire rep at arrivals, signed the paperwork and he took us to the car in the car park, on return just left the car parked in the same area of the car park with the keys on top of the sunvisor as instructed.
    If you do book with them here is a code for 10% off, 6T8WRU , just put it in the page after you've chosen which group of car you want.

    Bit late reply but hope it helps others. Recently a friend of mine booked a car with Pointcarhire company and he was quite satisfied with the rates and services offered. They also provide liability insurance, CDW etc. all inclusive in the car rental rates.
  • I used carrentalabroad.com just last week; I must say excellent service at Faro Airport, quick and easy.

    All insurance was included, also got an almost new car; my son-in law was coming 1 week later so they add the additional driver for free.

    Overall very happy will use again.:j

    Yes, they offer great rates, but do they deliver u a car or just take your $$$?

    Obviously they are a broker but there's something that smells fishy around here.

    Be grateful to hear back from any user of here who has more than 1 post!!
