No sorry Jerry,

Quinta do Lagos but I didn't know if this was the same place as Lagos or not. I have never been to Portgual before so am still unsure on the names of places :!:

Hi

We will be going to Algarve this summer, does anyone know how much

it will cost to travel from Faro airport to Albufiera by taxi?

Thanks

A customer in my bar told me he paid 50 euros this week. You might be better contacting one of the companies which offers airport transfers. A browse around this forum might glean some addresses or phone numbers.

If not, check on the web.

I have booked with Alan Sutton - sounds a very nice man. He emails back very quickly! Faro-Lagos return 130 Euros.

Hi,
We used Auto-Faro Lda. in May. We were met at the airport with our name clearly displayed and the taxi was modern, clean and safely driven.Fare ( to Lagos) was 70 euros each way. When I booked I had an immediate reply with confirmation and about a week before the holiday I got a follow-up confirmation. Can confidently recommend this firm. Hope this helps.
P.S. e-mail address is <antoniosopa@auto-faro.com>

my trip to albufeira went well and as usual the team who work with alan sutton were there waiting for me at faro airport, they also collected my from my hotel for the return trip and everything was fine.

i recommend them if anyone needs collecting from faro airport :)

It also depends on how many passengers there are. normally 1 to 4 passengers is around 30 euros and 5 to 8 45 / 50 euros. Regards Jayjan

Hi

Going to Lagos next Thursday. Booked a reasonsble costing transfer from Faro with easygo-holidays.pt. Recieved voucher on booking 4 wks ago but recent attempts to access webite failing and e-mails being returned undelivered. Has anyone any info on this company or if it is still in business. May have to organise alternative transfer.

Thanks.

Sorry, haven't heard of the firm you refer to, but if you find yourself having to re-arrange transfers, I have e-mail addresses of a coach transfer service ( which I haven't used myself) and a pre bookable taxi firm which I have. If you want these just post again.
If you want any further info about Lagos, we've been going there 2 or 3 times a year for the past 18 years and I'd be happy to help if I can.

Thanks for the quick reply . Certainly interested in the private taxi firm as I may have to book soon.

Thanks again

Me again!
Taxi firm is Auto Faro Lda.
E-mail contact is:- antoniosopa@auto-faro.com
Used this firm in May of this year; cost was 70euros each way( 2 people) to Lagos.My name was clearly displayed at arrivals and the taxi was modern ( aircon ) clean and safely driven. They had obviously researched the address as the driver took us straight to the hotel without hesitation and, on the return trip was waiting for us 20 mins before the booked time.Can confidently recommend them. Oh, and by the way, they monitor the airport computer so they are there for you regardless of delays or early touchdowns ( whatever they are!)
Hope this helps and have a good time.Please go easy on the Sagres and the Monte Velho vino tinto as we will be there in September and, with the water shortages they may not be able to brew more.

i'd just like to add that alan sutton is a top bloke.
he arranged my transfer through his friend rodrigo because there were too many in my party.

after a number of flight number and arrival time alterations alan was always there to help and replied to all my emails promptly.

just thought it deserved a mention.

he can be found at http://www.ownersinportugal.org/
