Re: Car hire

Zest's Loyalty points can be used anywhere they operate. We used them in Australia to get discount and one occasion we also got an upgrade included.

Re: Car hire

Have used Zest many, many times for many years. They have always used a Fair Fuel Policy and free additional driver. Always dealt with any queries or problems quickly and efficiently. I recommend them. When you get the list you can click on each one to see their terms and conditions. You can then co...

Re: Alojamento local register

Have just done a search on it and found where I was looking for after scrolling through a few hundred entries. The search feature did not bring up the AL I was looking for, yet gave me 2 others in the road. There are nearly 1800 entries for the Lagoa area, so patience may be required.

Re: Arriving in Portugal

New regulation is a bit vague. Visit Portugal says:- The law that required filling in the Passenger Locator Form on all flights to Portugal has been revoked, so it is no longer necessary to present it at the time of boarding. Does that mean we no longer need one, we need one but do not need to prese...

Re: Covid - again !!

The NHS Covid Certificate is recognised so you do not have to quarantine, but you still need a test prior to departure. I assume it will be accepted in restaurants to dine indoors. People with EU Passport for Covid do not need a test prior to arrival. There are a number of sites such as gov.uk, sef,...

Re: Returning to Portugal?

The UK locator form does not have anywhere to declare you do not have to isolate from Amber if you are double jabbed. They have 2 option buttons - neither cover this. So you can lie and declare option 1 that you need to self isolate, or you can lie and declare you are one of the exempt professions! ...

Re: Duties of a Fiscal Rep

When we tried to do it on line you needed a notarised letter from the proposed Fiscal Rep. So not straightforward if still the same.

Re: Returning to Portugal?

You do it at home so cannot be verified that it is yours. You will need evidence of where and when the test was done. So this is not suitable for Fit to Fly. One would think so ...might the website says : "Easy to use, gentle nasal swab, suitable for general testing or Fit to Fly*, results within 2...

Re: EDP CHARGES

We had a new meter fitted and at first we had to enter readings, but they now seem to be able to read the meter remotely. you can also look at your bills on line. We got a high bill (about 400euros) in July a couple of times so we ...
