Prices and availability for Azores come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
On Sao Miguel the sights are spread around the island: the crater lakes at Sete Cidades, the hot springs at Furnas and the tea plantations on the north coast are all separate drives out of Ponta Delgada on winding, well-kept roads where fog can roll in and clear again within the hour. Each island needs its own car, so hire where you land and rebook if you hop on. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies across the Azores with live prices.

Renting a car in Azores: common questions
Do I need a car on each island?
Yes. Cars do not travel between the islands with you, so you hire on Sao Miguel, drop it before your flight or ferry, and pick up another on Terceira, Pico or wherever you go next. Search separately for each island and pick the local pick-up point.
What car suits the Azores?
A small or compact car is ideal. Roads to the viewpoints are narrow and steep with tight hairpins, village parking is limited and distances are short. A larger car only makes sense for a family with luggage, and extra ground clearance is rarely needed on the paved routes.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Azores, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
