We were warned of this by our supplier 4 weeks ago and confirmed last week by one of our friends who tried to find a car for guests.

The reason is that the car hire companies reduced their orders for cars last year in anticipation of a very bad summer this year.

it has not turned out to be that bad and with extended delivery on new cars a shortage has resulted which will last for most of the summer. So don,t expect to see many special offers either.

Try http://www.travelrent.pt they are based in Montenegro near the airport, but have a base at Faro, ask for Patricia, Carolina or Mario. If you want full CDW with no excess you need to state on booking. Good Luck

Have you tried http://www.carjet.co.uk. We have used them a few times in Spain and found their service good. Not used them at Faro yet as we usually use economycarhire there.
