There are trains, buses and taxis so this is not critical but recommended esp for golfers and walkers.
Be sure to get air con in the summer!

If you want to travel by car but not drive it yourself, 3 other websites you can look at:

www.Resorttaxis.com offer a pre bookable service from Faro to the apartment for around 50 euros or £35 (minibus for 5 to 8 is 68, for 9 to 12 is 108 and for 13 to 16 is 128 euros). This is a good option for a larger group.

Also try www.farotaxis.co.uk

Also  try www.yourfaroairporttransfers.com
The website takes credit cards and also PayPal so that should offer extra security
And they are an unbelievable 9 euros each way to Cabanas on their Shuttle bus!
A taxi for up to 4 people is 30 euros and a minibus for up to 8 is 40
You can get a taxi at the airport too!

Car hire companies with facilities at Faro:

www.hertz.com ; www.avis.com ; www.europcar.com ; www.e-sixt.co.uk ; www.nationalcar.com; www.alamo.com; www.holidayautos.co.uk; www.carjet.co.uk

NB Europcar is Easyjet’s partner and the whole flight seems to get their car there – we waited 2 hours for pick up while the other desks were deserted although the car was good – something to bear in  mind!

I have also tried National Alamo – only 45 minutes to pick up.

Note that most returns are off site so add an extra 15 minutes for that – ask when you pick up as most companies seem to expect you to know this.

Another option is to rent a car once you are in Cabanas. In the next development to Quinta da Gomeria - Quinta Velha - Auto Jardim have an office. You need to give them 24 hours notice to bring the car to you but this can be less hassle that waiting at the airport and navigating, especially late at night.
