taxi's !!!

[Robbie]

Can anyone tell me would I be able to get a Taxi after falling out of the pub in Albufeira back to Carvoeiro after closing time and most especially how much would it cost. (note - I am talking off-season as I know taxi's are almost impossible at present)

I have just returned from 2 weeks in Carv and the queue especially at night to get taxi's is half way up restaurant hill so my advise if you are going any time soon is hire a car. You will wait at least half an hour and more for a taxi in August.

Don,t assume that the queues in Albufeira will be any less.

From Easter onwards it is very difficult to get a taxi in Albufeira during the busy times
7.00pm - 3.00 am.

AS for cost have heard figures in the region of 30 euros each way.

( probably depends how " relaxed " you are when booarding the taxi. )

Can anyone advise me of any english speaking taxi companies / drivers. Some of my family are going out CVO in september and they won't/can't hire a car. I am concerned that they will be restricted in what they do and see without a reliable taxi contact.

Help !!

most taxi drivers speak english.. ask for adrian he is fluent english. you can just ask for him by being at the taxi rank. thats what we done most times.

Porterreno Tours is a good one - Simon is very good and can supply minibus's and English speaking drivers.

I agree Rich, Simon from Terreno Tours, always used him this past 3 years, excellent. 45 Euros from Faro to CVO. May not be the cheapest but certainly very reliable. it's always been 45 EUROS (one way)
