This, was my second time using cael...and once again, everything was perfect. Nice cars, on a very good rate...and Staff, always very professional. I really recommend this company, and definitely will be booking again next year. Thank you...and see you soon.

Unfortunately we had such a horrible experience with them. I would not recommend at all. It was mentioned to pick up the car at 9:00 am. after a few calls and a delay of about 30 minutes the person who was in charge to drop off the car to us came over with bad behaviour and saying: "she was late because we hadn't told her our flight number", although we hadn't got any flight. Also, She'd been rude to me and my wife since she got there, treating us as if we did something wrong, but guess what, she was the one who didn't get there on time. Please, do not rent or book a car with them. There are so many companies which will give you better costumer service for sure.

Terrible customer service! We booked a car via Booking, but when we arrived to pick it up, there was no one from Cael there to help us (it's a shared office for several rental companies- we chose the pickup spot at the airport). Even though we had booked to get the car at 9:30, we had to wait for 30 minutes until the Cael employee finally arrived (she was also very rude to us, saying it had been OUR fault because we hadn't messaged them with our arrival time, so apparently there was no way for her to know when we'd arrive ). We called her to ask for information and she didn't answer the phone. Honestly, I'd go with another company if I had to rent a car again. The guy that checked the car when we returned it was friendly, though.

Booked through priority pass, was a lot cheaper than other rentals. Easy and flexible pick-up/dropoff (picked up at 10am, dropped off at 6am). Nice and friendly staff.

Easy to find outside the airport at car park 4. No hidden fees or charges and good price on car rental. We knew it would be 30 Euros to take the car to Spain. Our credit card was having problems and the employee was incredibly patient as we were on the phone at closing time for over an hour. We dropped the car off in Lisbon rather easily for an additional 150 Euros.

After a ton of research and reading reviews, decided on this company. What a great experience. Booked directly at their website cael.pt and received confirmation within a day. Arrived at Faro and went straight to parking lot 4 and had a Mercedes shooting brake waiting for me. Received exactly what I reserved! I also paid the full coverage insurance and wheel/tire coverage for peace of mind and also negates the need for any deposit. Also rent the toll pass super convenient. Only negative is the car did not have Android auto or carplay enabled! Totalbummer. Drop off was just as easy, would totally use them again. Stop looking and book directly with cael.

Good price for a month's hire from Cael's own website. Presently surprised by the ease of pickup from car park - was met at Arrivals by Joseph. Car (Fiat500X) was excellent. Return of car was a little stressful as I was told there was too much sand in it. However, this was nothing compared to the stress being experienced by customers at the return desk for other off-airport companies. Would use again.

Tres bon accueil, avec une grande amabilite. Honnete et repond a toutes les questions demandees. Efficacite dans la remise du vehicule (administratif, chek-in). La voiture louee etait neuve, avec peu de kilometre, comportant le boitier pour les peages automatiques. Une navette de transport vient vous chercher et vous ramene a laeroport ! Cest a 5min cest tout pret

More than a mixed reception from a person who obviously does not like the French. This person tells us that our payment card is not suitable and therefore we must pay insurance of 25 per day. That s an additional cost of 175. We have made numerous car rentals in multiple countries and we have never had this kind of situation, especially with a person who makes no effort to find a solution to the problem and who takes the liberty of telling his colleague that She doesnt care because its always the same with the French. An attractive price via easyJet but in the end it cost us much more
Translation
Accueil plus que mitige par une personne qui visiblement n aime pas les Francais. Cette personne nous indique que notre carte de paiement ne convient pas et de ce fait nous devons nous acquittes d une assurance de 25 par jour. Soit un surcout de 175 . Nous avons effectues de nombreuses locations de voiture dans de multiples pays et jamais nous avons eu ce genre de situation, d autant plus avec une personne qui ne fait aucun effort pour trouver une solution au probleme et qui se permet de dire a son collegue qu elle s en fiche car c est toujours pareil avec les Francais. Un prix attractif via easyJet mais qu il au final nous a coute bien plus cher

Perfect, the car was exactly the same as the one reserved. Vehicle in good condition and clean. Convenient, a person picks us up directly from the airport parking lot to take us to the agency 3 minutes away by car. Quick removal of the vehicle. Clear explanations. Leonor was great with us. Trusted company, no unpleasant surprises when returning the vehicle. Practical tolls with the via verde box. Remember to check that your card is credit and not debit before booking ;)
Translation
Parfait, la voiture etait exactement la meme que celle reservee. Vehicule en bon etat et propre. Pratique, une personne nous recupere directement sur le parking de laeroport pour nous emmener a lagence a 3min de voiture. Retrait rapide du vehicule. Explications claires. Leonor a ete super avec nous. Entreprise de confiance, pas de mauvaise surprise a la restitution du vehicule. Peages pratiques avec le boitier via verde. Penser a verifier que votre carte est bien en credit et non en debit avant de reserver ;)

Excellent experience from this rental company. 1 week rental in Faro end of June 2024 From the condition of the car, recent model (Peugeot 208). Competitively priced. With a special mention to Leonor, for her kindness and patience in helping us resolve a bank card problem for the deposit by requesting a blocking authorization of 1,800. Usual problem between credit cards that are actually debit cards. Its written on it. We were able to make several attempts with different cards that we had with us. And, oh joy, the carrefour PASS payment card has passed. It actually says credit on it. Fortunately my wife and I each had one (2x900 ) Same good experience when the vehicle returned at 6:30 a.m. at Faro airport 1 week later. With again a big smile from... Leonor. Check of the vehicle, lifting of the deposit. Fast and effective. We therefore highly recommend this rental company and will call on them again if necessary.

Excellente experience de ce loueur. 1 semaine de location a faro fin Juin 2024 De letat de la voiture, modele recent (Peugeot 208). Au prix competitif. Avec une mention tout particuliere envers Leonor, pour son amabilite et patience pour nous aider a regler un souci de carte bancaire pour la caution par une demande dautorisation de blocage de 1800 . Probleme habituel entre les cartes de credit qui sont en fait des cartes de debit. Cest ecrit dessus. On a pu faire plusieurs tentatives avec des cartes differentes que nous avions avec nous. Et, o joie, la carte de paiement PASS de carrefour est passee. Cest dailleurs ecrit credit dessus. Heureusement que ma femme et moi en avions une chacun (2x900 ) Meme bonne experience au retour du vehicule a 6h30 du matin a laeroport de Faro 1 semaine plus tard . Avec a nouveau un grand sourire de... Leonor. Controle du vehicule, levee de la caution. Rapide et efficace. On recommande donc chaudement ce loueur et feront appel a nouveau a lui si besoin.

Actually, initially there was good communication and accommodating behavior from CAEL Faro: We had minor flight changes and while the German agent happycar wanted a completely new booking, which would have been significantly more expensive and of course good for the commission, the difference of a few hours was not a problem for CAEL. But we had problems at the airport when we picked it up. The ING debitel card was not accepted as a credit card, so we had to re-insure the car for a flat rate of 260 and then there were further hidden costs of 63. If we dont like it, we could leave the car here, according to the nice agent on site! Yes, of course with a wife, two children and all the luggage at 35deg! So we took the car and the initial bargain turned into an expensive one! But the best is yet to come: the car was a safety imposition, the tire cover was torn, the tread was 1-3 millimeters below zero in places! Unbelievable what they offer here without conscience! Its purely a coincidence that the tires dont suddenly burst during the journey. When we dropped off the car there was another billing circus, now the debit had not been made correctly, the amounts had to be canceled and debited again.
Translation
Eigentlich zunachst eine gute Kommunikation und entgegenkommen von CAEL Faro: Hatten geringe Flugveranderung und wahrend der deutsche Vermittler happycar gleich eine komplett neue Buchung wollte, was wesentlich teurer geworden ware und naturlich gut fur die Provision, waren die paar Std. Differenz fur CAEL kein Problem. Die Probleme hatten wir dann aber am Flughafen bei der Abholung. Die ING debitel Karte wurde nicht als Kreditkarte akzeptiert, daher mussten wir das Auto pauschal Nachversichern fur 260 und dann gab es noch weitere verdeckte Kosten von 63 . Wenn es uns nicht passt, konnten wir ja den Wagen hier direkt stehen lassen, so der nette Vermittler vor Ort! Ja, klar mit Frau, zwei Kindern und dem ganzen Gepack bei 35deg! Also nahmen wir den Wagen und aus dem anfanglichen Schnappchen wurde ein Teuro! Das beste kommt aber noch: das Auto war eine Sicherheits-Zumutung, aufgerissene Reifendecke, Profil stellenweise 1-3 Millimeter im Minusbereich! Unglaublich was man hier gewissenlos anbietet! Dass die Reifen auf der Fahrt nicht irgendwann plotzlich platzen, reiner Zufall. Bei der Abgabe des Wagens wieder Abrechnungszirkus, jetzt hatte man nicht richtig abgebucht, man musse Betrage stornieren und erneut abbuchen.

Wouldn t book anything with these guys you get A price online and are provided with A voucher upon arrival they don t give you any info on how to find them nor do they get in touch even though it s advertised as collection at airport when you do finally find them be prepared to be hit with numerous fees that are not stated online (Toll bridge charge, Airport collection and return charge (even though they dont meet you there) fuel charges & then A huge insurance price) in total you will be paying way more than double you see online alternatively to that they want you to pay 2500 deposit to avoid these extra charges which is just bizarre, GO ELSEWHERE GUYS.
