Much effort has been put in by the local authorities of Faro to improve accessibility and pro-handicap facilities for disabled personnel, but it is still far from being a completely accessible place.

Most buildings in Faro have elevators and ramps, and the practice of installing them has become quite commonplace in Portuguese buildings. Many hotels of Faro provide ample facilities for disabled people as well as specially adapted rooms.

All public transport in Faro have four seats specially reserved for handicapped passengers. However, they do not provide any sort of special accessibility for people on wheelchairs.

Visually handicapped people are allowed to use guide dogs when travelling, but the dogs must be leashed and muzzled properly. Guide dogs can even ride on public transportation with their owners at no extra cost. Quite a number of car rental companies in Faro offer specially designed vehicles available for rent by handicapped people.

At the Faro Airport, the first people who are made to board planes are disabled passengers, so that they do not have to deal with crowds. The disabled person is moved to a narrower aisle-seat at the door of the aircraft, which the attendants can reach more easily. All Portuguese airlines follow this policy stringently.

Special cars are available at the Portugal car rental which is designed specifically to cater to the needs of the disabled individuals. Toilets for the disabled are located all through the airport as well. In fact there are several hotels that are also developing their facilities for their disabled visitors. These hotels can easily be reached by a car from Faro Airport car hire that are well equipped for the wheel chairs and disabled visitors. Infact the disabled passengers can also hire a car in Faro and park it in spots outside the terminal that have been specifically reserved for them. So don’t let your handicap hinder you from having fun… Enjoy!!
