Plane must have been at least 30 years old, broken seats, lights held together with black tape and crew didn't speak much English. Booked this flight as the times wer...

Re: Economy Car Hire. Top up insurance/Servis

I have used Economy car hire for the last few years usually booking Travelrent or Drive for Fun. I have now started using Travelrent and booking with them direct. If you send them an email telling them you want the same deal as you would get with Economycarhire ie fully inclusive with no insurance e...

Re: EVENING MONARCH FLIGHTS

Looks like this is still a problem. My husband came back on this flight last night, it was delayed for 4 and a half hours. Finally landed in Manchester at 04.40 this morning! It was a Monarch Plane, huge airbus apparently. Took the shine off his golfing weekend spending nearly 6 hours at Faro airport.

Re: New Hotel

I had a good look around this resort last week as I thought we could cut through to the tennis club to our apartment. There is still a lot of work going on both on the apartments and on the grounds. There was a lot of activity and was quite noisy, with all of this going on I'm sure it will be finish...

Re: Elliots....good or bad?

Had 2 lovely meals at Elliots last week. Owners there on both occasions. This restaurant is now one of our favourites. The chocolate cake with baileys sauce is to die for!

Re: Elliots....good or bad?

I would also recomend this restaurant, we had 2 lovely meals there over Easter. The food was fantastic, Alex made us feel very welcome and was great with the children supplying paper and crayons.

Re: SEVIS/International Car/Aluguer de Viaturas Lda

I have also been using economycarhire for many years, usually choosing the Travelrent or Air Auto option. At Easter I chose the Servis option purely because they were the cheapest. Other than their representative being 15 minutes late (not what you want when you have travelled with hand luggage for ...

You can park on Car park 1 which is on the left as you approach the terminal. Can't remember exactly how much it costs but no more than a couple of euro's for an hour. You pay at the machine outside the terminal or there is one on the car park.

We also always use Economycarhire/Travel rent. Prices are hard to beat and no insurance excess! Only once had a problem when our hire car broke down, Travelrent delivered another one at 7am the next morning so I could pick my sister up from the airport. Excellent service.
