Useful things

“Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.” Samuel Johnson

The following are links, companies and things that we have found useful over the last few years. We’ll keep adding more..

Car Hire from Faro airport Economy Car Hire

They have always been great – log in and you can build up a 10% discount. You can also then access a tab on the bookings page which shows you exactly which car hire company you will be renting from – we love ‘Drive for Fun’ – easy, hassle free and a good range of cars. Using Economy car hire also ensures you pick up – and drop off – at Faro airport.. if you use one of the ‘big companies’ you will find yourself dropping off about 1/2 a mile away and having to get on a bus.

Corporate Cars Exmouth Devon

We can’t fault these guys! Always on time, nice big car and lovely friendly drivers. And the only taxi company that can pick up from Exeter Airport officially. 01395 233728
