Popular routes from Faro

Albufeira is about 45 km, Portimão about 65 km and Lagos about 90 km, fast via the A22, a bit slower via the free N125. Eastwards lie Tavira (approx. 40 km) and the Spanish border (approx. 55 km). Since 2025 the A22 (Via do Infante) is toll-free; older guidebooks still mention tolls.

Good to know

The Algarve is hugely popular: for July and August, the earlier you book the sharper the price. Watch the blue parking zones in resort towns; most big beaches have free parking. The fuel policy is full-to-full, top up just before returning.

Frequently asked questions about car rental at Faro Airport

Do I pay tolls on the A22 in the Algarve?

The A22 along the Algarve coast has been toll-free since early 2025. Other Portuguese motorways (such as towards Lisbon) still charge electronic tolls; we explain in your offer how that works with your rental car.

How long is the drive from Faro to Lagos?

About 90 km: just over an hour via the A22, about an hour and a half via the free N125, passing nearly all the famous resorts.

Can I pick up in Faro and return in Lisbon?

Yes, often possible for a fee. Tick 'return at a different location' in the form and we will include it in your offer.
