Car hire in
Albufeira

Paid for a three week car rental through Expedia - from the 30th September until today, the 19th October. Bearing mind it is a peak time - I played around with the dates to find a better deal and opted for a manual compact SUV for €271. Very reasonable! Upon check in, two ladies were infront and they were charged last minute for a Fiat convertible (little did they know it would be raining the next day..) for a 1 or 2 day rental at €160. I found this price to be quite high but again, they didn’t pre book. For my booking, it turned out that there weren’t many cars available at all, so, I was given a Peugeot 308 GT automatic. I didn’t take out the optional extra insurance for no other reason than I was in a very safe area as well as being a safe driver. Having read some previous reviews on here, it worried me a lot that maybe I might be charged for even a simple scratch that could have been missed upon inspection of the car. So, I had done a recorded video of the car before leaving. Anyway, 3 weeks later and I’ve taken the car back which was very easy and straightforward. The check out guy was thorough as he should be, and all was fine - since the car was well taken care of anyway :) he had done a great job and was very welcoming and kind. Overall, great place, very friendly workers. The first man on the desk to check me in for the car, unfortunately I can’t remember his name, but he was very nice, and wore a nice gold plated watch - the system was running slow and so we had to redo the check in process but I could tell he enjoyed his job and deserves a raise Sixt :) very welcoming and efficient. I will be returning as I need another rental and so won’t hesitate to come back. Thank you :)
