Nice price this for anyone looking to escape and go on holiday on a budget.

Bit of a workaround really, just booking a few things separately, accommodation and car hire prices are practically fixed - flights might vary by airport (not too much - so if you live in Birmingham, do that), but using Luton as an example.

You'd be staying at the 3* (rated 4 on Tripadvisor) Studio 17 Hotel, which has a local beach, bars and restaurants. Furthermore, parking is free (if you opt for car-hire)

Flights are with Ryanair (hand luggage, might be enough for 4nts) - however, for £30 more you could bring a suitcase - good flight times too in terms of maximising time in Algarve!

Lastly, car hire is booked via travelsupermarket.

Outside the hotel
Portimao is a vibrant resort and a spectacular holiday destination for those seeking the bustle. The delightful Praia da Rocha sits within a 6-minute driving distance of the hotel. While the forever lively town centre is located less than 20 minutes’ walk from the hotel. There you’ll find Museu de Portimão, a regional heritage museum, and streets packed with restaurants and bars for you to explore. Algarve coast is an excellent location for spending a few days by the sea. For a dose of history, Castelo de São João do Arade is a spot worth stopping by.

    I’m in the alrgarve just now and have a car with Klass Wagen. A few things to note.

    there is a £2100 deposit and a few hoops to jump through if you get so much as a scratch on the car. They don’t have a spare tyres and cost minimum of £500 for a tyre replacement for example. I needed a baby seat and child seat both of which were £58 each for the week, I was offered a £209 payment to absolve any hassles of scratches etc and the car seats were given to me for free with this ( I didn’t pre book, I just asked to get them free at the time if I took the thing)

    the shuttle bus worked well for us as we only waited at the airport for 20 mins or so but there was another couple there waiting hours, don’t know why. It’s a 5/10 mins shuttle away and only has 6 seats so depending how many people are going you could be waiting a while.

    There not the best cars, but do the job of getting from A to B. There is also toll roads that are automatically paid with a transmitter on the car that are then calculated 6 days after and billed to your credit car (another £150 deposit for this) I opted to avoid toll roads on google maps and it added 15 mins from Faro to Portomao.

    The old adage... If it seems to good to be true......


    They have to be making up for their losses somewhere on headline prices of £4 per day for car hire...


    Its like the wild west in Spain and Portugal


    Goldcar are the absolute worst. Scammers in disguise

    I was there last month and it was amazing. The hotel is more than adequate, especially for this price. The car hire however, was a nightmare of experience. I'd expect it to be around £30-40 per day and nothing close to the advertised price. As they will say that they have nothing to do with the external company that advertised the price and will ask/force to take whatever offer they will come up with. Nonetheless, had a great trip.

    Car hire at this price will be some rip-off. Even big companies run scams like pre-pay for fuel, etc.

    We've just had 2 weeks out there. The Algarve is such a wonderful place to visit. Would also highly recommend going to Vilamoura and Tavira they are very scenic and no riffraff to be seen anywhere!

    in order to avoid the riffraff I always avoid going to the places i go to

    Very tempted by this, but then read that the flights were with Ryan Air. I would pay more to go with another airline, before I would fly with Ryan Air, have never flown with them, but they seem to attract the most complaints about the way they treat their customers.

    The days you arrive and leave don't fully count if at all. So this is really for a 2-day experience. Not to be sniffed at but frankly I'd need a couple of days off after that couple of days off.
    Justintime12's avatar
    Arriving at 940am on Saturday and departing on Wednesday is at least 3 full days...


    625am inbound departure time would be a nightmare though (edited)

    The Algarve is undeniably beautiful! The colour of the sea water against the cliff faces is stunning.

    Came back from Portimao today from the deal that was on here a couple of weeks ago. Very nice place if you have a car, Lagos and Alvor are short drives away and of course Praia de Rocha is strolling distance if a bit Benidorm. I used enterprise for the car. Clio £42 for 4 days. Plus £35 for complete insurance as the excess was 1100 euro. But no silliness with the car at all. Food and drink are cheap and decent. Best of all, it was sunny! Thank you HUKD

    Algarve has the best Peri Peri Chicken I have ever had. Even those resturants in the water park make good Peri Peri Chicken. Good resturants on the street make even better ones.

    And it was cheap too. 30 Euro including drinks for a family of 3 people. (edited)
