Honest feedback from travellers who compared car rental offers across the Azores using our service
Used the comparison tool to find a compact automatic for our two weeks on Sao Miguel. Saw real prices from multiple suppliers and booked the best-rated option. The entire process was transparent - no surprises at pickup. Saved us hours of research.
My family visits Terceira every summer to see relatives. This comparison service showed me five local suppliers I never knew about, all with better prices than the big brands. Booked with a highly-rated local company - excellent car, friendly service at Lajes airport.
Rented separately on Faial and Pico (you can't take cars between islands). The site made it easy to compare both locations. Found great off-season prices - EUR 22/day on Faial, EUR 28/day on Pico. Free cancellation gave us flexibility when our ferry schedule changed.
Comparison engine worked great - saw live prices from 8 suppliers at PDL airport. Chose based on ratings and price. Only wish: more automatic options available. Booked mine three weeks ahead and still had limited choice. Manual was fine though, just took a day to adjust.
First time renting in the Azores. The comparison showed me everything - supplier ratings, included mileage, insurance options. Picked a local company with 4.8 stars and it was perfect. The car was clean, pickup was quick, and the staff gave us great driving tips for the island roads.
Flores is remote and I was worried about rental availability. The comparison tool found three suppliers with good availability and honest prices. Booked a Fiat Panda - perfect for the narrow roads and steep hills. Supplier met us at the tiny airport right on time.
My parents are from Angra. I compare prices every year and this site consistently finds better deals than going direct. This March I got EUR 19/day for a compact - unbeatable. Free cancellation meant I could book early without risk. Highly recommend.
Off-season trip for hiking and hot springs. Comparison showed winter prices significantly lower - EUR 18/day for economy. Booked with a supplier rated 4.7. Pickup at PDL was smooth, car was newer than expected. Drove all over the island, from Sete Cidades to Furnas. Brilliant experience.
Needed a car for three days on Pico for hiking and vineyard tours. The comparison showed four options - I picked the mid-priced one with best reviews. Everything was as described. Minor note: fuel station hours on Pico are limited, so fill up in Madalena before driving to remote areas.
Visiting family in Ponta Delgada. Used the site to compare local suppliers - ended up with a great deal from a company my cousins also recommended. The comparison tool let me filter by pickup location (downtown vs airport) and see exactly what was included. No hidden fees, exactly as shown.
Two-island trip. The site made it clear you can't take cars between islands, so I booked separately for each. Five days on Sao Miguel (EUR 35/day compact automatic), four days on Terceira (EUR 30/day manual). Both suppliers were professional. The comparison saved me at least EUR 150 total.
Good comparison of suppliers with honest ratings. Found a local company with great reviews and fair price. One thing to note: the CDW and theft coverage options vary a lot by supplier - read carefully before booking. I appreciated that the site showed these details upfront for each offer.
Santa Maria is small and not many people rent cars there. The comparison tool found two suppliers with availability. Booked the higher-rated one - they met me at the airport with the car ready. Drove all over the island, saw Praia Formosa and the red desert. Perfect little car for a perfect little island.
Shoulder season visit. Comparison showed prices from EUR 20/day - much better than high summer. Picked a supplier with 4.9 rating. Car was immaculate, pickup was fast. Drove in mist, rain and sunshine all in one day (classic Azores weather). The narrow roads around Nordeste require focus but are stunning.
Sao Jorge is remote and rental options are limited. The comparison site found the available suppliers and I could see reviews before choosing. Rented in Velas - drove the north coast road to see the fajas. Absolutely breathtaking. The car was basic but reliable. Exactly what we needed.
Winter trip to visit Angra. Comparison showed off-season prices at EUR 18-22/day. Booked a compact with a local supplier. Everything was fine - car, service, price all matched. Only minor issue was a scratch that was already documented, so no problem at return. Overall very smooth experience.
Stayed in Horta for a week. The comparison tool showed six suppliers - I sorted by rating and chose the top one. Price was fair, car was clean, and the supplier gave us a map with all the best viewpoints marked. Drove up to the Caldeira and out to Capelinhos. Highly recommend both the site and Faial itself.
Comparison made it easy to find a car on Pico during peak season. Booked an SUV (EUR 52/day) because we planned to drive up towards the mountain trails. Great choice - comfort and clearance were worth it on some of the rougher roads. Supplier in Madalena was friendly and efficient.
We wanted an automatic but many suppliers were sold out. The comparison showed real-time availability and I found one supplier with automatics still in stock. Booked immediately. Pickup at PDL was quick - they even upgraded us to a larger automatic at no charge. Fantastic service.
Family reunion on Terceira. Needed a 7-seater van for eight of us. The comparison showed two suppliers with vans available. Booked the cheaper one (EUR 68/day). Van was older but ran fine. Drove all over the island - Angra, Algar do Carvao, Biscoitos. Everyone fit comfortably.
Flores in October was magical - green, quiet, waterfalls everywhere. Comparison showed limited suppliers (expected on such a small island) but availability was fine. Rented a compact for four days, drove to every corner of the island. Poco Ribeira do Ferreiro was the highlight. The car handled the steep roads perfectly.
Travelled to Sao Miguel for a quiet autumn break. The comparison site showed off-season prices as low as EUR 18/day. Booked with a supplier rated 4.8 stars. Everything was perfect - car, price, service. We drove the entire island over six days. Weather was mild, roads were empty. Absolute bliss.
Island-hopping trip. Rented on Pico for three days, then took the ferry to Faial and rented again. The comparison site handled both bookings easily. Both suppliers were professional and prices were transparent. Loved the flexibility - each island deserves its own car and its own pace.
Solid comparison tool. Showed prices, ratings and insurance options side-by-side. Chose a local supplier with 4.7 stars and EUR 33/day rate. Car was as described, return was smooth. My only suggestion: add more detail on young driver fees (I'm 23 and had to pay a supplement, which was noted but easy to miss).
Best car rental comparison experience I've ever had. Prices were accurate, supplier reviews were honest, and the booking process was transparent. We rented a compact automatic for two weeks and explored every corner of Sao Miguel - Sete Cidades, Furnas, Lagoa do Fogo, Nordeste. The car was reliable and the supplier was excellent. Will use this site again without hesitation.
Santa Maria is the warmest and sunniest island. The comparison showed two local suppliers - I picked the one with better reviews. Rented for five days, spent most of the time at Praia Formosa and exploring the south coast. The car was simple but perfect for a small island. Supplier was helpful and gave tips on the best beaches.
Christmas trip to escape the cold. The comparison site showed excellent winter prices - booked a compact for EUR 20/day. Weather was mild (15-17 C), roads were quiet, and the hot springs in Furnas were perfect. The car was clean and reliable. Comparing suppliers online before the trip saved us time and money. Highly recommend.
Came to Pico for whale watching and wine. The comparison engine found four suppliers - I chose based on ratings and got a great compact for EUR 30/day. Drove from Madalena to Lajes do Pico and all through the vineyards. The scenery is unreal. Supplier was friendly and the car ran perfectly on the coastal roads. No complaints whatsoever.
Two-week Azores adventure. The comparison site clearly explained you must rent separately on each island - exactly what we did. One week on Sao Miguel (EUR 37/day automatic), one week on Terceira (EUR 32/day manual). Both suppliers were excellent. The side-by-side comparison made choosing easy. This is how car rental should work - transparent, honest, efficient.
Horta is a beautiful town and Faial is stunning. Used the comparison tool to find a car with a top-rated local supplier. EUR 35/day for a compact. Pickup at the port was seamless - the supplier met us right off the ferry. Drove to Capelinhos volcano, Caldeira, and all the coastal viewpoints. Perfect car, perfect island, perfect service. Can't ask for more.
