The route
Albufeira is 50 km west of Faro Airport along the A22 motorway, around 40 minutes by car. Shared shuttles on this route often stop at several resorts before yours; a private transfer goes straight to your address.
Albufeira spreads well beyond the old town, from Salgados and Galé in the west to Olhos de Água and Balaia in the east, and some hotels have entrances on streets that are closed to traffic. Give us the name of your hotel or villa and we plan the nearest drop-off point.
Where we drop you off
- Albufeira old town and Praia dos Pescadores
- Albufeira Marina
- Areias de São João, Oura and Balaia
- Olhos de Água and Praia da Falésia
- Salgados and Galé, with their golf course and resorts
The same service runs in the other direction, for your flight home.

Questions
How long is the drive from Faro Airport to Albufeira?
About 35 to 45 minutes for the 50 km by motorway, depending on traffic and the part of Albufeira you are going to.
Our hotel is in the old town. Can the car get there?
Some streets in the old town are pedestrian. We drop you at the closest point a car can reach and help you with the luggage.
Is a private transfer better than a shared shuttle?
A private transfer takes only your group, leaves when you land and goes straight to your address. A shared shuttle waits for other passengers and stops at several hotels.
We are 8 friends. Can we travel together?
Yes. The Sprinter Long takes up to 9 passengers with luggage, so the whole group rides together.
Do you work at night?
Yes, we operate 24 hours a day. Services between 22:00 and 06:00 can carry a night supplement, which is shown in the quote.
