After searching the internet, I stumbled upon a site 121 car hire Portugal , I was very impressed by the appearance of the site itself. The site is very well presented and gave me all the necessary information. He offered the services from different car rental suppliers like Avis, Budget, Alamo, Economy, Hertz and Sixt.
It ‘was very easy to book the car was forced to fill the online form and register. Since I was very satisfied with their services, rented a car from Faro airport.
After landing at the airport, I saw my car waiting for me. I took my car and drove to my aunt’s house, which was about 40 km from Faro airport. The driver was well trained and were very kind. He told me different things to Faro and its places. Drivers have made the trip very comfortable and too short. Within a short time, I can not get my aunt at home.
I was very impressed with their services and even hired the same car to drive to the airport after a week stay with my aunt.
