Seven kilometres costs what forty-five costs
A private transfer into Faro is 57.50 to 67.50 EUR for up to four. A private transfer to Albufeira, forty-five kilometres away, is 54.50 to 67.50 for a vehicle that takes eight. A transfer is priced by the job and the driver's time rather than the distance, and on a fifteen-minute drive there is very little job in it. What you are buying is a fixed price and a driver at a name board.
One product, and why the other is not here
The other transfer sold on this route offers "Algarve Hotels" at a single price to an unspecified destination anywhere in the region. It has more reviews and it would have led this page. A figure that cannot be attached to a place is not a figure for a page about that place, so it is not shown.
What the journey costs
57.50 to 67.50 EUR for the vehicle, up to four people, checked at Viator on 10 September 2026, on a product whose own title says one way. At four people that is about fourteen each.
