thanks for the info. i am travelling in a large party ( 6 adults 3 children ) and since it is my first time in the country i will take private hire from and to the airport. we will probably hire 2 small vehicles for a few days to explore a bit, so giving that we are travelling in a couple of days ti...

is it better to organise or pre-book car hire before arriving at the resort or is car hire widely available and easy to book locally ?
i know it might be a bit late in the day but i will be travelling this week and staying for only one week !
any advice ?

i am holidaying in Portugal for the first time in May this year, specifically in a resort in the Algarve called Carvoeiro and more specifically in a villa called Casa Queimado. I am travelling with a large party ranging from baby to grandparent. Anybody got any feedback i might find useful ?
