Uber is far cheaper and far far more reliable.
MTS Globe did not, in my opinion, allow sufficient time for a comfortable transfer from our hotel to Faro airport. When they then didn't show up on time I called them and was told to ring back in 5 minutes. When they had still failed to show up, I called them a further 3 times. On each occasion, the lady hung up on me. My advice is NOT to use MTS Global, they are unreliable and unhelpful. Besides that they charged €109 for the return trip which was actual only €25 each way with Uber, so definitely a rip off as well.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear that your transfer did not meet expectations. We understand how important it is to have a smooth and stress-free journey to the airport, and we regret any inconvenience caused. Our drivers are certified professionals, and we work with trusted suppliers who consistently receive positive feedback. According to our internal records, we have no report of this incident, which makes it difficult to investigate without further details. We kindly ask you to contact us through our official customer service channels with your booking reference so we can look into this matter thoroughly. Regarding your attempts to reach us by phone, we sincerely apologise if your calls were not attended to promptly. During peak periods, our lines can be very busy, and while we strive to assist every customer as quickly as possible, not all calls may be answered immediately. As for pricing, private transfers offer a dedicated service with pre-scheduled pickup, professional drivers, and support, which differs from ride-share services. However, we appreciate your feedback and will take it into account as we continue to review our services. We hope to hear from you soon so we can investigate and address your concerns properly.

Terrible Service
Our driver never arrived at Crowne Plaza hotel Vilamoura to take us back to airport for our departure flight. After calling numerous times was told to take a taxi with no explanation of where driver was and why they didnt show. Nearly missed our flight due to this and the stress/hassle/finincial cost implication for taxi to airport was a disgrace. Add the fact we have a 2 year old daughter to run through the airport with, only addedd to the shambolic disaster they call a service. Will never use this service again, absaloutley farcical. Jason

This service is absolutely disgusting, I expect a full refund considering YOU DID NOT EVEN TURN UP. Avoid this company like the bubonic plague!!!

Small airport
It's difficult to get to and from here because it's on a cliff. They extended the runway a few years ago. You can see the bridged runway above the highway. On the way back, I could see the whole thing from the observation deck.

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Faro.
How much does Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport cost?
+
Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Faro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Faro is not rushed.
Is Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Faro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Faro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Faro and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Departure Transfer: Algarve Hotels to Faro Airport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Faro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Faro?
+
On Outty we rank every Faro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ria Formosa - Boat trip to the 3 Islands: Armona | Culatra Island | Lighthouse, From Faro: Benagil Cave, Marinha & Carvoeiro [Full-Day Tour], Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Faro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Faro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
