Important driving rules and tips for the Algarve - know before you go
Driving in the Algarve follows Portuguese road law. The region has a mix of modern motorways, scenic EN125 coastal roads, and narrow village lanes. Here are the essential traffic rules for driving in Faro and across the Algarve:
Paid parking (blue zones) in Faro city centre costs approximately €0.60-€1.20 per hour. Many Algarve beach resorts have seasonal paid car parks near the shore ranging from €4-€10 per day. Free parking is widely available on residential streets outside the main tourist zones.
The Algarve has a good network of petrol stations including Galp, BP, Repsol and Shell, particularly along the EN125 and A22 corridor. Unleaded 95 costs approximately €1.82-€1.98/L and diesel around €1.70-€1.86/L. Most stations accept debit cards and are open 24/7 on motorways.
The A22 Via do Infante motorway connecting the entire Algarve uses electronic tolls only - there are no cash toll booths. To use the A22 you need a Via Verde transponder, a pre-paid card, or to register your rental car's plate online via the CTT service. Ask your rental company about toll arrangements at pickup.
