If you pick up a car at the airport, why not pop into the petrol filling station just off the roundabout by the airport. I am almost sure it is open 24 hours / day and has a good stock of essentials such as milk - also useful if you need fuel to get you to Carvoeiro

Hi Lamby, We find economycarhire.com to be not only one of the best for price, but their service is second to none. I personally prefer to use Travelrent from their list of suppliers, but have used Drive4fun in the past without problem. Doing a quick check, economycarhire are asking £179 for a 4 (5)...
