Location information for Portimao
Portimao is located on Portugal's Algarve coastline and is one of the biggest cities in the region. The Algarve is on the Atlantic coast, in the far south of the country. The region is popular with package tourists from Europe, particularly from the UK. They are attracted by long stretches of beautiful beaches, endless sunshine and a low cost vacation.
Public transport on the Algarve is limited. Therefore, many travelers choose to explore with cheap car rental in Portimao Downtown. Most firms offering this service demand that customers are at least 21 years old. Most of the main roads on the Algarve have been recently built. However, travelers might encounter some roads that are little more than dirt tracks, especially in more rural areas.
Driving conditions on the Algarve might be a little more challenging than in the USA. Portuguese drivers tend to overtake in the middle of the road. Given that road markings are also lacking on many roads, this combination makes driving here more hazardous at times. To minimize the risk, drivers should to the keep to the far right where at all possible.
Most travelers get to Portimao by flying to Faro, 70kms away. Many visitors on package tours have transfers included, so they can arrange car rental in Portimao Downtown after checking-in to their accommodation. Other travelers without an inclusive transfer can take a bus or train to Portimao.
One of the Algarve's best beaches, Praia de Rocha, is just a few kilometers away with car rental in Portimao Downtown. On the other hand, it's possible to drive east to the city of Lagoa, where more private beaches can be found. In fact, the whole coastline is accessible via A22 highway. This highway stretches as far as the Spanish border.
