Vilamoura Transfers

It is worth booking private transfers from Faro Airport to Vilamoura if you are traveling in a group of more than four people or have kids with you. The best company to book through is Shuttle Direct.

The journey from Faro Airport to Vilamoura should take around 25 minutes and definitely no more than 45 minutes (depending on the traffic) . If you pre-book your own private transfers you will be met in the arrivals hall at a pre-agreed place by your own driver who will take to your holiday apartment, villa or hotel with the minimum of fuss.

The airport taxis wait outside the main arrivals area at Faro airport should you need to use them, but they can only carry four people at a time and they very, very rarely have children's safety seats with them. If you use Shuttle Direct you can pre book children's seats, etc.

The costs of a private transfer will vary according to how many of you there are travelling. I would expect you to pay around €50 each way for up to four people. If there are more of you (say up to nine) I expect it to cost you around €75-80 each way but at least you can split the bill amongst more people and you all get to travel together.

If you find the cost of a private transfer a bit expensive you might like to consider booking a seat on a private shuttle bus which you can catch from Faro Airport to Vilamoura.

To get a bus to Vilamoura you will first need to go into the main bus station in Faro and then change buses, for the effort involved it is far better to just get a private transfer or taxi.
