Taxi transfers

Hi annie,
I have read recently that the Algarve rail service has been upgraded and that trains from Faro to Tavira now run hourly.
However, as regards practicality of rail transfer, if I were you I'd let myself be guided by Pat 42 who is the forum's Cabanas expert.

May be a none starter but have you thought about hiring a car. You can hire a car very cheaply about 130 euros for the week.

I get a private taxi from Faro to Cabanas re a friend who lives in Cabby and has a contract with the taxi guy....35 euros. So 37 euros is not too bad. Taxi is best as the train will only take you to Conceicao and then you have to walk 15 mins downhill to Cabby.
I will look at alternatives for you and let you know what I find.

O.K. Annie, why don't you try Alan Sutton who comes highly recommended by HT readers?
Have a look at his website and ask for a quote.
As he gives a little discount for return fares, he might give you a good discount for all the journies that you will have to make?

It's worth a try if you don't want the hassle of the trains and taxis will be much quicker too.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Pat, I sent Alan a mail, and he has offered us a very good quote for all our transfer, so I am very happy :D It takes a bit of pressure off us, and we can just relax and look forward to our visit.

Thanks again for your help :wink:
