Born in South Africa to Portuguese parents, the birth of their first grandchild led Emidio Pregueiro (known to many as Mitch) and his wife, Paula, to relocate to Portugal in September 2022.
Emido has been in business since a very young age. His hospitality career began when he co-owned a hotel, a liquor store and clubs for eight years. He helped design and owned the first Steers fast food drive-through (a South African-based fast-food franchise like Mcdonald’s). The experience allowed him to later open his own fast-food chain, Stars, as well as a children’s playground, Fun Land. For the past 18 years, Emido was the General Manager of a security and cleaning company in South Africa that employed over 500 people.
Meanwhile, Paula has been an educator her whole career and currently teaches at an international school in the Algarve.
As the beautiful country of Portugal, with all its culture, traditions and breathtaking landscape, continues to attract more tourists, the demand for car rental and transfer services has therefore increased tremendously. Emido’s passion for human interaction has been the driving force behind his decision to start a transfer and rental company. Initially, it is here in Algarve, but he is looking to expand to the rest of Portugal and beyond in the future.
His vast experience in various industries has allowed him to develop the skills necessary to provide exceptional customer service. “I am really looking forward to this exciting new chapter in our lives. Our mantra is to offer the community of the Algarve our one-on-one service beyond customer expectations.” Whether it’s a simple airport transfer, special executive tours or a long-term car rental, he offers tailor-made solutions that are designed to meet each client’s unique requirements.
The new company prides itself on having a fleet of purpose-specific vehicles consisting of only new 2023 models, so clients are guaranteed quality beyond their expectations! The company’s website is a testament to its commitment to delivering excellent customer service. With detailed information about their services and easy-to-use booking options, clients can easily book online or phone directly. The team is available to answer any questions and give assistance.
