Myself and the wife were over last week. We used funnyorange for the first time, very happy with the service, for both legs of the journey. Different drivers, but both were very punctual and pleasant. Vehicles were new and very clean. We paid 54 Euros (total).

I used Hoppa for the first time last month when I had to return to the UK for a funeral. Only paid about €10/11 for one way. Had about a twenty minute wait at Faro. Driver was polite but a bit mad (illegal left turn at one point). If I had the cash for a proper private transfer, and the waiting time was eating into my annual holiday, I would take that option every time.
Friends who have a holiday home here and were regular users had a nightmare with them in the summer. Took them longer to get from Faro to Albufeira than it did from Glasgow to Faro.
You pays your money, you take your chances, I guess.

I have used Resorthoppa, now known as Hoppa, many times and always been very happy with them. If you book online early you can get a relly good deal, or they do discount offers from time to time. We travel by their bus in a share and for 3 of us return fares from Faro Airport to Albufeira and it cost a total of £36.14p So £12 each returns, can't be bad eh? They are always prompt and reliable. Hope this helps.

We used funnyorangetransfers recently for our return private transfer and couldn't fault them. On time both ways, very careful drivers and only €54 return to Vale de Parra (same price to Albufeira) 10% discount when booked on-line.

Our friends and family have all used Bravotur for years and I have never had one complaint regarding service or price. The way Faro airport is going with hire car service I am thinking of using them myself

I hate how peopleï compare Frank Zappa to God. I mean, he's cool and great and nice and everything, but he's no Zappa.

We have used bravoturs for the past few years and their price is the same as yellowfish, ie e60 return Faro to Albufeira, pay the driver. They use the A22 most of the way, not the A125. I like using this company 'cos they are based in Albufeira.v

But, Yellowfish mostly use the 125. Certain companies only use the A22 which is worth paying a little extra for.

Sorry for off topic -We bought chocolate wine last year at the Albufeira Wine Festival - strange but lovely.
Back on topic - we have used and highly recommend Yellow Fish - reliable and polite with good prices

DICEYUK, have you never had chocolate wine, we always buy a bottle from the Christmas market in Lincoln, and it's usually gone before New Years.

"very good prices", I don't think so
35€ one way to Albufeira is 5€ more than Yellowfish.
By the way, the Yellowfish free gift this year is a bottle of wine with chocolate in it (I kid you not)
When the driver gives it to you, tell him to keep it

Don't mind a fiver more for (what have now become) friends :)
