Lagos sits at the western end of the Algarve, about 90 km from Faro Airport — an hour on the road when it flows, and longer when it does not. It is the one route where leaving on time is not a matter of comfort but of catching the plane at all. We work backwards from your flight, not forwards from your breakfast.

What Time We Collect You
The drive from Lagos takes about 1 hour. 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 | 02:30 | Peak morning wave — check-in and security at their slowest |
| 10:00 | 06:00 | Second wave, with rush-hour traffic on the way |
| 14:00 | 10:00 | Quieter, but bag drop still closes 40 min before |
| 20:00 | 16:00 | Evening departure with returning holiday traffic |
That is 4h00 before departure on this route. No night surcharge — a 02:30 pickup costs exactly what a midday one costs.
Why Book the Departure in Advance
Where We Collect
We cover Meia Praia, Praia da Luz, Dona Ana, Porto de Mós, the Marina de Lagos and the historic centre. If your address is not on that list it almost certainly still is — ask.
Frequently Asked Questions
What time will you collect me from Lagos?
We collect you 4h00 before departure: three hours at the terminal plus about 1 hour on the road from Lagos. 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 Lagos and the surrounding area. We take the full address at booking, not a meeting point.
Is it cheaper to take the train or bus from Lagos?
Cheaper, yes. But the connection to the airport involves a change and the first services do not run early enough for a dawn flight. For an early departure the choice is a private transfer or a very long night.
Is the price the same as the airport-to-Lagos direction?
Yes. The fare is fixed per vehicle and identical in both directions — from €75 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.
