Before coming to the Azores, most of the people opt for a well-known rental company like Hertz, Europcar or Sixt. However, I would advise you to check the offers of the local rental companies, as they usually have better terms. Plus, it is usually cheaper to rent a car with them. Below I have added all of the local rent-a-car companies for you to review:
✖ São Miguel Island Rent a Car: Car rental in Ponta Delgada airport is fairly easy. Usually, most of the car rental companies have counters at Ponta Delgada airport. However, there are lots of other local car rentals that you might want to consider, which have better offers and terms. For example, the best car rental in Ponta Delgada is Luso rent a car. It has good rental cars and has one of the best term and lowest deposits.
✖ Terceira Car Rental: Terceira is a relatively small island, compared to Sao Miguel Island. Thus, car rental options are not so much, but most of them can be found at the airport. Among them, is MicAuto, which is a local car rental agency having the best terms and lowest deposits. Or you can try Way2Azores, which is a local car rental in Angra do Heroismo in Terceira.
✖ Pico Island Car Rental: If you need a car in Pico for a few days you can always rely on the local car rental agencies. Namely, there are two of them that provide good services – Rent-a-car Oasis and Pico Island Adventures. The latter does not even ask for a deposit, so it is a great plus!
✖ Faial Car Rental: Renting a car in Faial can be done either at the airport or in the city of Horta. There are lots of local car rentals to choose from, but I would suggest going with Tera Auto.
✖ Flores Car Rental: Although, it is one of the most remote islands from the archipelago, there are still car rental options. However, I would suggest getting a car from Santa Cruz das Flores that has the best offers on the island.
✖ São Jorge Car Rental: Car hire in Sao Jorge is not an issue and can be easily done in Velas city. One of the most reliable local rental companies is Azores By Car. If you want a cheap car, that is also new, you should definitely try them
