Funbike (Suntime Unipessoal Lda) is a Portuguese bicycle rental and online shop based on EN 125, Sítio das Benfarras 510A, Boliqueime (8100-068) — the same N125 corridor as the Vilamoura–Quarteira entrance and neighbours such as Hotel Parque das Laranjeiras. The differentiator is door-to-door delivery and collection: choose a road, gravel, or e-road bike online, submit a pre-booking, and the workshop team confirms payment, sizing, and drop-off at your villa, hotel, or holiday apartment anywhere in Portugal — not only at the shop counter.
Fleet and services
Rental bikes span performance road frames (including Pinarello Dogma GR and Granger X class builds), gravel options such as the New Grevil F, and e-road assist bikes (Nytro E-Road) for hilly barrocal days with a non-racing partner. Each hire includes a repair kit; the Benfarras base runs a full workshop for maintenance and cleaning. Online sales mirror the rental ethos — buy a bike with nationwide delivery if you are relocating kit rather than hiring for a week.
How booking works
Rentals run on a quote-and-confirm flow at funbike.pt: pick dates, choose shop pickup (Vilamoura area) or custom delivery address, send the form, then finalize by email with payment methods. Confirmed online bookings need roughly 60% upfront; each rental day typically starts from 09:00 with return by 19:00 on the final day unless agreed otherwise. Allow lead time in July and August — sizing and pedal preferences (bring your own cleats if fussy) should be in the first email thread.
Who it suits
Yes for road cyclists and gravel curious riders staying in Vilamoura, Quarteira, Quinta do Lago, or inland Loulé villas who want pedal bicycles delivered tuned without boxing bikes on the flight. Couples mixing one e-road and one road bike for Serra or barrocal loops. Less ideal if you need same-day marina promenade cruisers, child tag-alongs without prior notice, or off-road motorised tours — for licence-based 2×2 electric adventure bikes see Dirtebikers in Almancil; for Monchique café-and-ride culture see Velochique.
Practical tips
Contact: +351 289 322 215 (landline), +351 913 943 288 / +351 914 288 562 (mobile), or the form at funbike.pt/contactos. Pin your full delivery address including villa gate codes — Benfarras deliveries are minutes from Quarteira hotels but resort estates need clear drop points. Start coastal spins before 09:00 in summer; stack hire with route ideas in our cycling in the Algarve guide and the generic bicycle hire search for comparison quotes.
Worth it?
Yes when delivery convenience beats airport bike-box stress on a central-Algarve sportive week. Pair with Cerro da Vila culture mornings, top things to do in Vilamoura, and sports and adventure in the Algarve. Base planning: where to stay in Quarteira and Faro Airport to Vilamoura.
