Praia da Rocha Guide

Praia da Rocha, with its excellent sandy beach and esplanade lined with restaurants, shops and bars, is an ideal holiday destination for the whole family.

The magnificent sandy beach is sheltered by craggy sandstone cliffs and boasts fascinating rock formations jutting out of the sea. Tunnels through the cliffs allow access to the neighbouring beaches.

A walk along the cliffs to take in the exquisite coastal scenery is highly recommended. At the top lies the Fortress of Santa Catarina, an excellent place to watch the sunset. Built in the 17th/18th centuries, it features spectacular views of the sea, a river, beaches and cliffs, and houses an old chapel.

Beach activities include sun tanning, windsurfing, swimming or boat trips off the coast. Alternatively, there are three golf courses, a bowling alley and a nearby water park offering a free shuttle service. Praia da Rocha is known for its nightlife, with several nightclubs, bars and a casino to choose from. There are numerous restaurants, located primarily on the promenade. A comprehensive shopping centre stands at the edge of the resort and good bargains can be found at the gypsy market held on the first Monday of every month on the road into Portimao.

Portimao, the Algarve's largest town, can be reached within a few minutes by bus or taxi. Lagos is well worth a visit for its Roman ruins, while Carvoeiro is an attractive beach alternative. Further inland lies Silves, boasting a 1200-year-old castle and Monchique, with its curative springs and mountain views.

The Algarve can be easily reached from Faro International Airport using the N125, or by road from Europe, using the IP1 motorway from Spain. There are also coach and rail services to the Algarve from most European cities. Additionally, it can be reached through the many ports spread all along the south Portugal coast.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
