Faro Airport car Hire

Best deal car hire ...thats what they are called...excellent

This was to return a car to Budget. They are terrible. But they are big and sometimes cheap. If I can avoid them, I will.

Wanted to warn other travelers. I have never had a bad experience with car hires / rental cars anywhere in the world: South Africa, India, USA, Spain, etc. We rented a car here in Faro from Guerin (Alamo, Enterprise, National). They quickly inspected the car along with me. We noticed bumps and bruises but they said they were small enough and not to worry. We drove to our hotel for the day and back. Upon coming back, the employee opened the passenger door and noticed a light scratch on the inside edge of the door. I obviously disputed and he claimed it was new. No way I would’ve thought to review interior edges of doors on the initial inspection. Clearly a money grab. I will dispute the charges and keep everyone updated, but what a headache and dirty practice. I saw on other reviews that Guerin (Enterprise, Alamo, and National) do not return deposits or add more charges later as well. Please be careful and avoid this if possible. I saw reviews on several other local rent-a-cars that will avoid you the distress on your vacation and calls to insurance companies after to help dispute. What a mess.

The staff are nice and doing the best they can under the circumstances but it took 40 minutes to pick up my car on arrival. Waiting around for 30 minutes for someone to check the car when returning it. Service is slow so allow yourself extra time.

Told in UK that they accept debit cards. THEY DO NOT !!!! YOU MUST HAVE A CREDIT CARD. I advise book direct. Do not go through a UK broker. Credit card must have raised digits. Why,?????? No idea
