Annual Car Parking near Faro Airport

Hi Sam, we also live for several weeks a year in Burgau.

We have a car and like you are looking for reasonable priced parking near Faro Airport 

Have you had any success in finding anywhere yet?

Thanks,

Noel 

My neighbour tells me she parks her car a side street when she goes to germany for three months!

Hard to believe I know. I did hear  myself there is low cost parking somewhere near Faro Airport?

If anyone knows about this please reply? 

Also we were always taking a taxi from Faro to Ferragudo, cost recently €65 one way. But recently we decided to try the train going back. So from Parchal (Ferragudo) to Faro is €6 each single paying on the day on the train. Then a taxi from Train station in Faro to Faro airport €5.  It takes longer but it’s low cost. Especially for one person travelling on their own. It was also 20 minutes late. 

There is a train station at Lagos and my experience is it’s €2 from Parchal to Lagos so I estimate from Lagos to Faro train fare €8 to €10 euros each one way. ( There is a bus service from train station to airport but it goes and stops at loads of stops taking time so a taxi is best option.)  

Doing the math and especially if you have your own car this cost wise works. I don’t know if Lagos is nearest station to you? 

The train also has to work out in terms of the time of the flight you are taking as if it’s early morning timing wise may not work.

Thanks Anna

we drove up to Faro on Thursday to have a look around about parking

There are as you say there is lots of free road side parking within walking distance of the airport and clearly a lot of people use it and trust their cars will be there, undamaged when they return

This wasn’t for us.

We found Park and Trip close to P3, so again walkable to the airport, albeit they have a shuttle bus available at extra cost.

They charge 30 Euros per month -ie 1 euro per day - the only snag is that you have to pay for the whole year, whether you’re r not you are using the. 

As our car will be parked with them for around 40 weeks and the minimum else where seems to be around 3 euros per week we decided to try them

There is one bad review against them on the internet which we hope was due to mis-communication

we will let you know how we get on
