Carvoeiro taxi from Faro Airport
Taxis wait 24 hours at the rank outside arrivals. They run on the meter, with A22 tolls added and higher rates at night and weekends. Portugal's new national taxi tariff came into force on 23 October 2026 and meters are being updated until mid-January 2027, so we don't quote a fare. Can I use Uber from Faro Airport? Yes, Uber and Bolt both pick up there.
Are there trains or buses from Faro Airport to Carvoeiro?
There are no trains from Faro Airport, and the Faro train station is in the city, not at the airport. The nearest public option is the Aerobus (Vamus line 56), which stops at Lagoa on its way from the airport to Portimão and Lagos; from Lagoa you need a local bus or a taxi to Carvoeiro. With luggage, that is a long way round.
