We recently received a question regarding this from one of our previous customers and we thought it was a great topic to inform our readers, the exact question was “Do you hire out cars to drive from Faro airport to Isla canella in Spain?”. People often get confused about hiring a car in Portugal and dropping it off in Spain because of the proximity of both of the countries, so we are here to help and clear it up a bit.

The simple answer and good news is that you can hire a car from Faro Airport and drop it off at any major airport within Spain such as Barcelona airport, Madrid airport, Malaga airport and more. Two of our suppliers will allow this from any major Portuguese airport to any major Spanish airport.

Cross Border Fees –
There are cross border fees included in this and the price of which ranges depending on how long you are hiring the car and where you are wanting to drop it off. We will however always find you the best price available for your given dates and times, we won’t just take into account the cheapest cross border fees we will take in to account the total price of the rental and pick you the cheapest.

As part of this you do have to meet the standard conditions of 23 years old and have held your licence for a year prior to hiring with us. You must also call us directly as there is no way we can arrange this online and ensure that you get the right supplier, if you plan to hire your car at Faro Airport and drive around Spain but take it back to the same location you still need to make us aware for insurance purposes, so if you want more information on this then please call us on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or email us at sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk.
