Which transfer should you choose?
Eight products, all priced, from 39 EUR to 80. That spread is almost entirely seats: four-seat cars at 39, 40 and 48, eight-seat vehicles at 47.73 to 61.93 and 70. If there are four of you the cheaper cars are the ones to look at. What the engines disagree about is the time, not the road: 37 minutes against 44, because the quicker route is one a toll-avoiding router will not take.
There are four of you or fewer
Private transfer
The four-seat cars at 39 and 40 EUR are the ones to look at. On this route the smaller vehicle is a third cheaper, which is not true everywhere on this coast.
There are six or eight of you
Private transfer
54.50 EUR across eight is 6.81 each for forty-five kilometres, the lowest per-head figure anywhere on this site.
You were considering a hire car
Private transfer
The quicker road here is a toll road charged electronically, and a transfer price already includes it. That is worth putting against a daily hire rate before you decide.

Current price shown at Viator

- Yes
A private transfer is arranged before you fly and the driver meets you in arrivals with your name on a board. Faro has one passenger terminal. Priced at 47.73 to 61.93 EUR for the vehicle, up to eight passengers, as recently checked at Viator on 11 September 2026, on a product carrying 847 reviews. Four-seat cars on the same route are sold from 39 EUR. A transfer driver takes whichever road is quickest and any toll is already in the price, which is not true of a hire car: the Algarve motorway is charged electronically and that catches visitors out.

The vehicle decides the price, not the supplier
The spread on this route is 39 EUR to 67.50, and it is almost entirely about how many seats you are buying. Four-seat cars sell at 39 and 40; a vehicle that takes eight is 54.50 to 67.50. If there are four of you the cheaper cars are a third less, which is not true of every route in the Algarve.
Two roads, seven minutes apart
Our two routing engines returned 45.40 and 45.42 kilometres, agreeing to twenty metres, and then 37.0 and 44.1 minutes. The gap is not traffic: the quicker route is a road that a toll-avoiding router will not take. A transfer driver takes the fast one and the cost is inside the fixed price, which is not how a hire car works on this coast.
What the journey costs
From 39 EUR for a four-seater and 54.50 to 67.50 for up to eight, for the vehicle rather than per head, checked at Viator on 10 September 2026. Eight people at 54.50 is 6.81 each, the lowest per-head transfer figure anywhere on this site.
Prefer to have it booked before you land?
A private transfer to Albufeira is arranged in advance and the driver meets you in arrivals. Prices move, so the link opens the current ones at Viator.
