There is no doubt that it will be tempting to hire a luxury car, or convertible car when enjoying the sunshine of the Algarve coast. But it is probably not the best idea if you plan on visiting the local sights and activities in the towns, as this ancient area presents very small, narrow roads. The best car choice for the area would probably be a small car that is light on fuel, easy to park and great at zipping around the towns of the area. If you want to look for a small luxury car then consider Mini Cooper as a good choice for a slick and efficient ride.

While on holiday in Tavira there shouldn’t be any rush to get around, so avoiding breaking speed limits should be easy. The speed limits for Tavira and the Algarve coast are standard and fair. The speed limits will be signed in kilometres and you should be able to interpret them if you are an English speaker. When driving in urbanised towns the limit is 50 km (31 mph). Main roads allow for 70 km (43 mph) and motorways allow up to 120 km (75mph). Speeding can result in an immediate spot fine – so play it safe.

On-street parking in Tavira works on a metered system, with coins being the currency of choice. They are charged according to time like most traffic meters. Parking spaces are known to be quite compact, which is another great reason to hire a smaller vehicle in Tavira. You can find several public car parks in town such as Tavira Market Parking and Parking Central Tavira, but the prices are inconsistent and range from free to highly priced. Always make sure you check the rate before you commit to a centralised car park.
