to door using through the A22 motorway.&nbsp;Private transfers booked in advance will pick you at your home address located in Lagos and takes you to the exact address you have in Portim\u00e3o without any changes and no waiting in stations, and no meters running through traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This short trip between two towns is among the most popular routes within the west of Algarve and is the most frequent thing that visitors do not understand.&nbsp;Visitors get to Lagos station with three suitcases and find that the Portim\u00e3o station is located far from the center and pay twice for a trip they could have planned beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains how far, real travel time, each transport alternative

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_the_Journey_Actually_Take\"><\/span>How Long Does the Journey Actually Take?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distance on the road between two towns is around 25 kilometers.&nbsp;Two routes are in place:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A22 (Via do Infante):<\/strong>\u00a0the fastest choice generally between 25 and 30 minutes.\u00a0Tolls are applicable and are part of the fixed price private transfer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EN125 (the national road):<\/strong>\u00a0slower at approximately 35-45 minutes, depending on traffic in Odiaxere and Lagoa however, it is beautiful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional drivers pick their driver depending on the time of day.&nbsp;From 8am to 10am and then again at 6pm and 6pm, the EN125 is backed up significantly.&nbsp;Add 10 to 15 minutes in August and July during the time in which the western Algarve is the main source of the annual tourists to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going to the beach instead of the city center?&nbsp;Praia da Rocha adds around five minutes, Alvor around eight, and the Aut\u00f3dromo Internacional de Algarve approximately twenty.&nbsp;If your route has multiple stops and stops, our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/transfers\/\">Private Transfer Service<\/a>&nbsp;is available in a multi-stop itinerary instead of separate bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_a_Private_Transfer_Cost\"><\/span>What Does a Private Transfer Cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price is based on the size of the vehicle as well as the time of day and the pickup location rather than meters.&nbsp;A saloon car that can hold up to four people sits on the lower end.&nbsp;A minivan with up to eight people with luggage can be found higher.&nbsp;Very early and late night departures typically have a small cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key difference is&nbsp;<strong>fixed cost in comparison to metered cost<\/strong>.&nbsp;Metered rides cost the user for traffic that they didn&#8217;t cause.&nbsp;Fixed rates that is quoted when you book will not change, irrespective of any delays.&nbsp;To receive an exact price for the number of guests in your party and the time make a request for a quote on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/booking\">on-line booking form<\/a>&nbsp;and you&#8217;ll receive an estimated total prior to you make a decision to sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Train_Bus_Rideshare_or_Private_Car_An_Honest_Comparison\"><\/span>Train, Bus, Rideshare

first is that the rail connection between towns is really swift, but the two stations are located away from the towns that most visitors reside in, which means you&#8217;re adding two taxi rides to one short train journey.&nbsp;Timetables are released via Comboios de Portugal.&nbsp;The second reason is that rideshare service in Lagos decreases significantly after 10pm, and especially during shoulder season. This is when most travelers need a reliable pick-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a deeper overview of the region we have the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/blog\">Algarve travel guide<\/a>&nbsp;provides routes, seasonal timings along with local transportation in greater depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

journey.&nbsp;If this is appealing to you, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lagostransferservice.com\/tours\/\">guides<\/a>&nbsp;transform the trip into a half-day of exploration instead of an overnight transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span
