Best season
April to October
The Algarve does not need an introduction; it needs a driver. Once your flight lands at Faro or Lisbon, the difference between a relaxing arrival and a stressful one is whether the car is waiting and whether the driver knows where the back-entrance is at your resort. We move guests between airports, resorts, golf courses and restaurants across the central and western Algarve. Pine Cliffs in Albufeira is one of our most-requested destinations, alongside Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago and the smaller boutique stays around Lagos and Sagres. We are not an official partner of Pine Cliffs or any other resort — we are simply a private transfer company that drives there regularly and knows the procedures at the gate.
Arrivals — Faro and Lisbon
Faro is the obvious airport but Lisbon is increasingly common, especially for guests connecting from the US or UK. From Faro the drive to most central Algarve resorts is well under an hour. From Lisbon the same trip is closer to three hours and is best done in a proper sedan with a break planned in.
We meet you in arrivals with your name on a board, take care of the luggage, and drive you straight to the resort. If a flight is delayed we re-time the pickup automatically without charging extra.
Around the Algarve
Beyond airport transfers, most of what we do here is local chauffeur work — taking guests to dinner reservations in Albufeira old town, dropping them off for a tee-time, or planning a quiet half-day along the western cliffs to Sagres and back.
We are not tour guides; we are drivers. We can recommend, we can introduce you to a guide if you want one, but we do not pretend to be something we are not.
Cross-border to Seville
Seville is two and a half hours away from the central Algarve and many guests turn it into a day trip or a one-way leg of a longer journey. We do this drive multiple times a week. Because it is cross-border we always quote first — see the Seville destination page for more.

Frequently asked
Are you an official partner of Pine Cliffs?+
No. We are an independent private transfer company that drives to and from Pine Cliffs regularly. We mention the resort by name because guests look for the route, not because we have any formal partnership.
How long does Faro Airport → Pine Cliffs take?+
About 35 minutes in normal traffic. We track your flight and time the pickup to actual arrival.
Why is the Lisbon → Algarve route a quote and not a fixed price?+
It is a long-distance route and price depends on vehicle category, traffic and any return leg. Quoting upfront avoids surprises.

Yes — daily. Two and a half hours each way. We coordinate the cross-border paperwork seamlessly and you sleep in your own bed.

Yes. We commonly do Faro → Vilamoura → Vale do Lobo → Quinta do Lago in a single arrival run for families travelling together.
