Vale do Lobo Car Hire

car hire in vale do lobo The decision on whether to rent a car for your holiday in Vale Do Lobo really comes down to the size of your party and the sort of holiday you enjoy. Whether you prefer to stay by the pool or on the beach all day or like to drive around and explore the area.

The resort of Vale Do Lobo is fairly spread out but compact, and there is an excellent shuttle bus service that follows a route around the resort at regular intervals throughout the day and night - and the local taxi service is pretty good too. Taxis from Faro Airport to Vale Do Lobo cost around €30 single fare so you would already save €60 for a return trip to the airport and back.

Bit if you are here to play golf and need to get to and from the courses each day then a hire car is a sensible option. We checked out some prices through Cartrawler for February 2009 and found that the cost of a 4 door car for 1 week costs around 139 pounds (€195) for a driver aged 39.

If you are here with your family and children then having a hire car also gives you that bit of freedom and flexibility to take them out to the theme parks and other entertainment that can found on the Algarve. Just outside Vale Do Lobo near to Almancil is a great Go-Kart track with a few other rides.

You can also drive your rental car to number of other attractions along the Algarve including the Algarve Zoo, Zoo Marine in Albufeira and the Atlantic Water Park near Loule. I believe that although it is not essential to have a Vale Do Lobo hire car to enjoy your holiday it certainly widens your options for a reasonable price.
