The venue is used by a car hire company servicing tourists at the nearby airport. The alarm was raised just after 2pm on Wednesday afternoon, with fire-fighters managing to extinguish the blaze in the space of an hour. The car park is used by the car hire company Zitauto, whose owners declined to comment on the incident. Back in 2015, a fire at another Faro car rental company destroyed dozens of vehicles, causing damages amounting to 150,000 euros.
