Very unfriendly staff. If there is the chance to charge you more money than written in the contract, they will ;) Their offer seems to be rather cheap at first glance and we booked it online including an insurance. However, in the end we had to add an additional insurance for 30EUR/day in the store, otherwise they would not have given us the car. So all in all, it was the most expensive car we ever rented. I strongly recommend to go somewhere else.

You should rent your car here at Prudente. Christiana is great: very easy-going, very releaxed and professional. We went to Sixt and Avis first but forget about the big companies; Prudente is the one you need. Cars are actually available, price is VERY competative and like I said, its all very relaxed and easy going. We drove off within 30 20 min or so. We will come back next year!!

Auto Prudente Rent a Car made my rental experience so easy and pleasant. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, and the car was in perfect condition. Plus, everyone speaks excellent English, which made communication a breeze. Great service, reliable vehicles, and a smooth process from start to finish. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a hassle-free rental!

Avoid this company!!! They didn't show up to meet us from our flight (they only do Meet and greet and we gave our flight numbers) they then told us if we wanted to rent the car we would have to pay EUR40 in cash for late fee. Lots of hidden charges and really aggressive attitude if you questioned. Really horrible start to a holiday

Do not rent from this company , they didn't stand by fact we already purchased insurance and tried to dupe us out of and extra EUR50 a day AFTER paying a deposit and insurance with VIP Cars ( they said it's their agent and nothing to do with them ) . They conduct their 'contract signing ' on a park bench in front of Faro Airport. Read the other reviews too before you do. I will be reporting them to Faro Airport and the Tourism Board.

Scam company, please avoid. Paid for everything online and on arrival they added processing fees and apparently the insurance I already paid for through carjet wasn't valid as they are a broker so was forced to buy insurance twice. Then they added a "service fee" on top and then tried to force us into leaving a EUR4500 deposit. Shocking customer service and clearly just out for quick money from tourists. Should be closed down and investigated. They were so dodgy they had to do the paperwork in the street as they weren't allowed to do so in the Airport. You've been warned. Stay away.

I had a very bad experience with this rental. We had to wait more than 1 hour before we could fill out the documents (in a van!). First, the landlady demanded 80 euros in cash because we arrived after 6 p.m. (mind you, our original flight was canceled). The landlady then immediately wanted 30 euros in cash for the second driver. and said she had her own terms and conditions (which did not match those of our tour operator). Then the tank was only 3/4 full and the Add Blue warning signal was on right from the start... And finally she asked us to pay the parking fee for the rental car at the airport ourselves at the exit (it was only 1 euro , but this is about the principle). We would never book a rental car with Auto Prudente again.

Ich habe mit dieser Vermietung sehr schlechte Erfahrung gemacht. Wir mussten mehr als 1 Std. warten, bis wir die Dokumente (in einem Van!) ausfullen konnten. Zuerst verlangte die Vermieterin gleich 80 Euro Cash, weil wir nach 18:00 ankamen (wohlgemerkt wurde unser ursprunglicher Flug gecancelt). Danach wollte die Vermieterin gleich wieder 30 Euro Cash fur den zweiten Fahrer. und meinte, sie habe Ihre eigenen Vertragsbedingungen (die stimmten nicht mit denen unseres Reiseveranstalters uberein). Dann war der Tank nur zu 3/4 gefullt und das Add Blue Warnsignal leuchtete von Anfang an... Und zum Schluss verlangte sie noch von uns, die Parkgebuhr fur den Mietwagen am Flughafen selber beim Ausgang zu bezahlen (war nur 1 Euro, aber hier geht es ums Prinip). Wir wurden nie wieder bei Auto Prudente einen Mietwagen buchen.

Had a very relaxed welcome upon arrival. Christiana is very helpful, has a sense of humor and takes her time. This company really stands out. A much warmer welcome than, for example, at Sixt and Hertz where we had previously been and where they only offered us 1 car from the most expensive segment and nothing else. We cant say anything other than perfect service, handling and besides that a great (new) car.
Translation
Een heel ontspannen ontvangst gehad bij binnenkomst. Christiana is erg behulpzaam, heeft humor en neemt de tijd. Dit bedrijf springt er echt uit. Een veel hartelijker ontvangst dan bijvoorbeeld bij Sixt en Hertz waar we eerst waren geweest en ze alleen 1 auto uit het duurste segment voor ons aanboden en verder niets. We kunnen niets anders zeggen dan een perfecte service, afhandeling en buiten dat een prima (nieuwe) auto.

Very nice people with fair prices, they can speak English, french, Spanish as well, cars are in good condition, and they worked with the hotel we were staying at, which eased our return of the car, we could just left it at the hotel directly.

Title: Incredible Experience with AutoPrudente in Albufeira Recently, due to misfortune, I had the opportunity to rent a car at AutoPrudente in Albufeira and the experience ended up exceeding expectations. From the moment I answered my phone call after booking online until I entered and then left the store, we were warmly welcomed by a team that truly cares about their customers. Cristiana Portugal, in particular, stood out for her exceptional service, super cheerful and friendly What impressed me most was the personalization of the service. Even though the reservation was made online, they were tireless in streamlining the entire process, and they also made a point of ensuring that I felt comfortable and valued. Its rare to find such attentive and dedicated service, especially in an industry where we are often just another number. Furthermore, AutoPrudentes location is convenient and the prices are fair, especially when considering the quality of service and vehicles available. Its a place that really pays off and challenges the idea that its difficult to find a good car rental service. I highly recommend AutoPrudente to anyone looking to not just rent a car, but also a truly exceptional customer experience. A big thank you to Cristiana Portugal and the team for making our experience truly excellent!

Titulo: Experiencia Incrivel com a AutoPrudente em Albufeira Recentemente, tive a oportunidade, devido a um infortunio, de alugar um automovel na AutoPrudente em Albufeira e a experiencia acabou por superar as expectativas. Desde o momento em que me foi atendida a chamada telefonica apos a reserva feita online ate que entrei e posteriormente sai da loja, fomos calorosamente recebidos por uma equipa que realmente se importa com os clientes. A Cristiana Portugal, em particular, destacou-se pelo seu atendimento excepcional, super alegre e simpatico O que mais me impressionou foi a personalizacao do servico. Apesar da reserva ter sido feita online foram incansaveis no agilizar de todo o processo, e fizeram tambem questao de garantir que eu nos sentissemos a vontade e valorizados. E raro encontrar um servico tao atencioso e dedicado, especialmente em um setor onde muitas vezes somos apenas mais um numero. Alem disso, a localizacao da AutoPrudente e conveniente e os precos sao justos, especialmente quando se considera a qualidade do atendimento e dos veiculos disponiveis. E um local que realmente compensa e que desafia a ideia de que e dificil encontrar um bom servico de aluguer de automoveis. Recomendo vivamente a AutoPrudente a quem procura nao apenas alugar um carro, mas tambem uma experiencia de cliente verdadeiramente excepcional. Um grande agradecimento a Cristiana Portugal e a equipa por tornarem a nossa experiencia verdadeiramente excelente!
