Mostly A22 or main roads
Lagos was the port the Portuguese Age of Discovery ships sailed from; today it is the base for the rock arches of Ponta da Piedade and the golden coves of the western Algarve. Through Zonetransfers, a car is ready for you at Faro's single terminal to take your party to Lagos, from €92, whatever the hour.
It is the longest transfer within the Algarve: the whole A22 west, past Albufeira and Portimão, to Lagos; your driver goes right to your hotel at Meia Praia, Porto de Mós or in town. The distance is near 90 km (1 h 5 min at the wheel), at €92 upwards for the vehicle. Zonetransfers emails your voucher with a 24-hour number.

Lagos suits travellers who want coves, boat trips and surf at Sagres or Aljezur. It is the end of the motorway, so a direct car saves a long multi-stop shuttle.
The fare covers the vehicle, not each seat, and it stays the same at night and at weekends.
We suggest collecting you in Lagos 3 h 15 min before a Schengen departure and 3 h 45 min before flights to Britain, Ireland or North America, where exit border control applies.
Include the airline and flight time and we drop you at the door of Faro's departures hall.
