Faro Airport (FAO) transfers

Faro Airport transfers

Faro Airport (FAO) is about 4 km west of Faro and close to the A22 motorway. It handled about 10.4 million passengers in 2025. There is no rail link, so most travellers use a taxi, a bus or a pre-booked transfer. Most transfer drivers wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign.

Faro Airport taxis

Airport taxis use tariff 3, about €1.12 per km for a 4-seater. Luggage is €1.60 extra, plus A22 tolls. Fares are about 20% higher at night, at weekends and on holidays.

Buses and late arrivals

Buses 14 and 16 run to the Faro bus station. The Vamus Aerobus goes to Albufeira for €11. The last onward buses and trains leave Faro around 7–8pm, so late arrivals usually need a taxi, a ride-hailing car or a booked transfer. Book your transfer early in summer, when the airport is very busy. Give your flight number so the driver can track delays. Many companies offer child seats and some free waiting time, but always check when booking.
