Review of Masterkings


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Beware charges for sand, and not receiving toll transponder fee back

We have used masterkings at Faro airport for the past few years and have been very satisfied with their service until our recent trip. I will agree however that even on previous trips you have to follow up to get your toll transponder deposit back, I assume most don’t and this provides some extra income. However we recently were charged almost 50 euros when returning the car due to a bit of sand, we have never had an issue with this before and it wasn’t that bad, I assumed that the cars are usually wiped down before a new driver anyway. I asked if they had a dust pan and brush to quickly do it myself which they didn’t, so I tried the local service station but unfortunately the vacuum was out of order, I was told there was another service station a few miles away but I couldn’t find it and we didn’t want to miss our flight, especially as we had our 2 year old with us. So if you do use them beware of the extra charges, they still might work out good value but we will be shopping around a bit next time.
