The worst company you will ever deal with - they gave me 3 cars - 2 were not fit for purpose (and I was transporting children around on holiday) and the last car was not 7 seats as I had ordered so I was making multiple trips to transport everyone around and pay for taxis - then they had the audacity to charge me PS3K for excess for some scratches. Terrible company.

Easy rental. We needed a seven passenger van because we had family visiting. The van was perfect for us and they even delivered and picked up the van from our house. Very reasonable price. We will absolutely rent again. We have used eurocar in Portimao but had trouble with larger vehicles when we had five people or more. Cars were always to small.

Rented a car back in September. Process was very straight forward. Called the company on arrival. Staff arrived not long after. Completed the paperwork and was shown to the car. Car was brand new with very little mileage. Had no problems in returning the vehicle. Staff where very friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again. Only query I have was a recent transaction on my credit card statement a few months after rental that I don't recall. An email to explain what the charge is for would be appreciated but as I have read in another review charges can be made months after booking. Tolls I believe where included in the booking and I paid for this separately. Thank You

Do NOT hire from here. A tin shack in the middle of a parking lot. The rudest customer service I have ever experienced. Un equiped and just so not worth the hassle. Spend a few more PS"s and go to Sixt or Guerin on the other side of the airport. They left us without a car and we had a toddler. Honestly have never been through anything so troubling in my life. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Price seemed a bit high in our opinion (EUR150 for a medium sized automatic car for 1 day) but we wanted to drive to different beaches and decided it wasn't worth missing out on. The staff seemed nice and accommodating (until they weren't). We received the car with 1/4 tank of petrol and filled it up full thinking we would be reimbursed for any extra petrol (this is the experience that I have had with other major rental companies in the States). Upon returning the car, I asked about how they do petrol refunds and immediately they became agitated and argumentative saying that they do not and nor do any other car companies. After a short exchange they continued speaking to me rudely and I had to ask them to please stop speaking to me as the argument wasn't worth the extra EUR40 in free petrol they got from me. Moral of the story -- don't be surprised if the staff are rude to you and don't be nice and put in more gas than was in the car when you got it.

We rented a car for 2 days and we had a good experience with them. They were in time, professional, clean and good car, I would recommend them. We took the fully insurance option which gave us the possibility to take the car without a credit card.

Very rude staff!! They open at 9am but wouldn't come in until 930 on the day of my rental. I said I needed the car at 9 they said they could come in at 830am but it would cost an additional EUR20. I returned the vehicle in perfect condition, on time but with beach sand on the mats. That's it, no stains, in perfect condition, a 24hr rental in a beach town. Of course there's going to be a bit of sand. They said that vacuuming sand is very difficult and both the young lady and the manager were very rude to me saying that was "disrespectful". I was shocked. This is a business, not personal. It's not about respect returning a car with some sand in it. They charged me a EUR50 cleaning fee!!! That's almost half of the entire 24 hr rental. Even when I offered to take the vehicle to a cleaning spot they said I would have to pay an extra day's rental. Walked out of there with my heart racing and feeling bullied. Very upset!! Terrible, rude, unprofessional staff hugely lacking in customer service skills or concern. Find another rental agency that values your business and treats you with courtesy.

First car rental in Portugal made at Luz Ocean Drive where everything went well. Pick-up from the airport outside their opening hours ( 40 extra) with vehicle conforming to the description and in impeccable condition! Hybrid vehicle can be returned at the end of the rental with a deposit of 1,450, without any hassle. I recommend this rental agency

Vehicule hybride peut kilometre rendu en fin de location avec caution de 1450 ,sans encombres. Je recommande cette agence de location

Be careful, we paid for and had an electronic tag in the windscreen of the car for toll roads in Portugal for our car in 2019, however, just now in 2024 we have received a fine for using the tolls roads and not paying to do so, no way around this other than to fight it which you can imagine is difficult from another country

2 rentals within one year at Faro Airport. During the first one we were a bit annoyed because we had to call the employee afterwards to return the vehicle. He wasnt at the airport. However, the rest of the service was okay. We didnt have this problem the second time we rented. The vehicle had a few dents but nothing that would have affected its use. The employee pointed out all the damage, explained the return and refueling regulations and offered the toll compensation. (Which definitely paid off for us.) Make sure you have enough time for collection and return, there are many different providers at the counter who want to find the right one and the rush at the counter is quite high.

2 Anmietungen innerhalb eines Jahres am Airport Faro. Bei der ersten waren wir etwas genervt weil wir dem Mitarbeiter zur Ruckgabe des Fahrzeug hinterher telefonieren mussten. Er war nicht am Flughafen. Allerdings war der restliche Service okay. Bei der zweiten Anmietung hatten wir das Problem nicht. Das Fahrzeug hatte zwar einige Dellen aber nichts was die Nutzung beeintrachtigt hatte. Der Mitarbeiter hat auf alle Beschadigungen hingewiesen, Ruckgabe und Tankregelung erlautert und die Mautpsuschale angeboten. (Die sich fur uns ganz sicher ausbezahlt hat.) Bringen Sie fur Abholung und Ruckgabe genug Zeit mit, am Tresen gibt es viele verschiedene Anbieter von denen der richtige gefunden werden mochte und der Andrang am Tresen ist recht hoch.

Picking up and returning the car was strenuous. A paint damage was also discovered during delivery, which... well... There are many reputable and friendly car rental providers in Faro in the airport area that we have been using for 30 years (annually) without any problems or stress. We will use these again in the future and forego Luz Ocean Drive.

Abholung und Ruckgabe des Wagens gestalteten sich anstrengend. Auch wurde bei der Abgabe eine Lackschaden entdeckt, der ... naja ... Es gibt in Faro im Bereich des Flughafens viele seriose und freundliche Mietwagenanbieter, die wir seit 30 Jahren (jahrlich) ohne Probleme und Stress nutzen. Auf diese werden wir kunftig wieder zuruck greifen und auf Luz Ocean Drive verzichten.

Well the car was a great little convertible mini ,,, all went well ,, bit expensive but I think they all are now ,,, late picking up but they had my mobile number down different. With it being very late picking up by an hour I took it out on the lady and regret it now, life s too short so I apologise for that. Alls well that ends well though and the sun still shines.

Goede service en vriendelijk personeel. Onze vlucht was wat vertraagd maar we werden vriendelijk opgebeld en de medewerker bleef even op ons wachten. Heel erg vriendelijk. Ook bij het inleveren van de auto ging alles heel soepel. Een aanrader!

Beware of this agency. Car was rented. The hat shelf was already missing when we handed it over, but we didnt take a photo of it because we were told to only document damage from the outside. When we returned the trunk, they opened it and said that the parcel shelf was missing. Costs 374. It was insisted that we had fully comprehensive insurance and that we would get the money back. Very dubious.
Translation
Vorsicht vor dieser Agentur. Auto wurde angemietet. Bereits bei Ubergabe fehlte die Hutablage, jedoch haben wir das nicht fotografiert weil gesagt wurde nur Schaden von aussen dokumentieren. Bei der Ruckgabe wurde direkt der Kofferraum geoffnet und gesagt das die Hutablage fehlt. Kosten 374 . Es wurde darauf beharrt, dass wir ja eine Vollkasko hatten und wir das Geld ja zuruck bekommen. Sehr unserios.

Dont get tired of these. The employees are rude and not very service minded. The premises are deserted for several hours a day during opening hours. If you are going to rent a car or deliver a rented car, you must therefore call and agree when you will meet. These times are not respected and they do not answer the phone. If I had caught a flight, I would have been delayed.
