Driving in the Algarve

Driving in the Algarve

 

Car hire in the Algarve can be something you need to book well in advance during the summer months, otherwise prices will be high the later you leave it. The good news is car hire is ridiculously cheap most of the year with an average runabout usually only coming to £10-£15 per day. Check some of the car hire websites for deals and the earlier you can book the better.

Here at Algarve update we have always found driving in the Algarve a pleasure. Portugal does have a high rate of car crashes(the highest per capita in europe) but the Algarve is considerably more laid back than the north, and people are more patient on the roads.

If you are planning on crossing the river and having a day in Spain make sure this is covered by your hire car agreement.
