Re: The dreaded car hire,
Have been using Economy Car Hire for years and promoted them on this site before. Rigister with them before you get a quote and you will see who the Hire Companies are. Not sure what you wanted so this may be more expensive, you also want to all the glass, tyres etc insudance for £14. Based on 1st -...

Re: Maxims
The two best restaurants right opposite each other, see my post on Jota Lita viewtopic.php?f=22&t=23236
Different styles both offering really good food and excellent service.

Re: Lisbon/Cascais
Thanks. I see there is another complex nearby. Will have a look as I have been told the golf around Lisbon is worth a try.

Re: Lisbon/Cascais
We're planning on spending a few days in Lisbon before coming down to Carvoeiro this year and I've seen a good deal at a golf hotel complex in Cascais. Does anyone know if Cascais is a reasonable base for Lisbon? Is it easy enough to get to Lisbon? Driving or train? Any information greatly accepted...

Re: Car Rental
If you have not already booked have a look at Economy Car Hire. If you register with them you can then see who the renters are against the quotes. They also provide extra insurance for a small fee that covers glass etc.. At least of of their options will be Drive4Fun who now offer transponders for h...

Re: Tolls on the A22
Ok, so what do we poor July/August tourists (having to travel then because our government impose fines if we dare to remove our children from school), look forward to on the roads? Nearly everyone on this board who is currently using the N125 cheerfully tell us 'it's fine now, but wouldn't want to ...

Re: Vimar
A Rede was open last night - two of my friends ate there! I think you probably mean Marisqueira? Shame about Vimar not coping, but Mariseqeira shuts all day on Sundays so will be a continuing problem. Hi, it was A Rede and closed last Friday. I think that those who had walked up the hill to find it...

Jota Lita
Can’t remember seeing any posts for this restaurant, though I am sure regulars will be aware of it (positioned across from Happys). This is one of the best and most friendly (gives Libbre a run for his money) we have been to. The food is excellent and the service is first class, and the prices very ...

Re: Vimar
Hi, just back from two weeks holiday. Went to Vimar in the first week and had an excellent meal, so much so we decided to go there for our last night. An unfortunate mistake. Whether it was the fact that girls had been handing out flyers the night before or the fact that A Redde was shut, it was too...

Re: Tolls on the A22
Hi, just back from two weeks holiday. Booked Drive4Fun through Economy Car Hire and took advantage of the Transponder offer for the A22. My recommendation would be pick a company that offers a transponder, there are others now but Drive4Fun was easy and straight forward. 20€, 5€ hire fee, 15€ credit...

Re: Algarve driver / YOR / beware insurance
They were quite informative, and advised us on the tolls and that you could not pay on returning the car. We had options:- to not use A22; or use it and sort ourselves out on tolls; or sign a form for them to pay tolls and take money from credit card. We chose not to use the tolls so did not sign c...
