Carvoeiro is a clifftop village of narrow streets and steep turns, about 65 km and 50 minutes from Faro Airport. Half the difficulty of leaving is not the distance — it is the last hundred metres, where a driver who does not know the village ends up three streets away with your cases still at the door.

What Time We Collect You
The drive from Carvoeiro takes about 50 min. Add three hours at the terminal for check-in and security and the pickup times work out like this:
| Your flight departs | We collect you at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 06:30 | 02:40 | Peak morning wave — check-in and security at their slowest |
| 10:00 | 06:10 | Second wave, with rush-hour traffic on the way |
| 14:00 | 10:10 | Quieter, but bag drop still closes 40 min before |
| 20:00 | 16:10 | Evening departure with returning holiday traffic |
That is 3h50 before departure on this route. No night surcharge — a 02:40 pickup costs exactly what a midday one costs.
Why Book the Departure in Advance
Where We Collect
We cover Carvoeiro village, Vale de Centeanes, Praia do Carvalho, Ferragudo and the villas above the cliffs. If your address is not on that list it almost certainly still is — ask.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time will you collect me from Carvoeiro?
We collect you 3h50 before departure: three hours at the terminal plus about 50 min on the road from Carvoeiro. Give us your flight number at booking and we confirm the exact time.
My flight leaves before dawn. Do you run at that hour?
Yes. Faro Airport has a heavy wave of departures between 06:00 and 08:00, which means pickups through the night. We run them at the standard fare with no night supplement.
Can you collect from a villa or a private address?
Yes — hotels, apartments, villas and private addresses across Carvoeiro and the surrounding area. We take the full address at booking, not a meeting point.
My villa is on a steep lane. Can a large vehicle reach it?
Usually yes, but tell us the address when you book. If the lane is genuinely impassable for a minivan we agree a pickup point a short walk away rather than discovering it on the morning.
Is the price the same as the airport-to-Carvoeiro direction?
Yes. The fare is fixed per vehicle and identical in both directions — from €55 one-way.
What if my flight time changes?
Tell us and we move the pickup. Changes are free up to 24 hours before, and we would rather hear from you at midnight than send a driver for a flight that no longer exists.
