The Atlantic road, PortugalPrices from
€25/day
We're not a global call-centre. We're a small team who've spent thirty years getting travellers into the right car at the right price — across the coasts and cities we love most.
We read the small print so you don't have to
One search pulls live rates from 12+ local suppliers — the big names and the island specialists who don't show up on the global sites. You see them side by side, sorted by what you'll actually pay.
No counter surprises. Ever.
CDW, theft cover, airport fees, local tax — folded into the quote up front. No queue-side upsell, no "optional" insurance you didn't ask for. The number on screen is the number on your card.
A human answers when plans change
Flight delayed, ferry cancelled, a wildfire on the coast road — it happens. Message us and a real person sorts it, often keeping your same car at your same price.

Founder, Special Fares“For me, mobility is about connection — between people, countries and cultures. I started this in 1992 with one promise: a fair price and a straight answer. Thirty years on, that's still the whole job.”
“My reservation got complicated — we had to extend to escape forest fires — and Carlos kept us in the same car at the same daily price. From now on, Special Fares is the only company I'll use.”
“The price was right, the staff were lovely and the car was great. We drove the whole Algarve and never thought about it once.”
“A long-time customer since 2016. Ten years on, still the best prices I find and the fastest to reply when I need them.”
