Орендували авто на Азорах, щоб відвідати озера, оглядові майданчики та невеликі містечка. Без машини було б складно побачити стільки місць. Сервіс спрацював чудово, усе було організовано професійно.
Berlin | March 27, 2026
Wir haben für ein paar Tage ein Auto gemietet, um die Azoren auf eigene Faust zu erkunden. Die Mietbedingungen waren transparent, der Preis entsprach der Buchung und der Manager war jederzeit erreichbar. Wir hätten uns lediglich eine etwas größere Auswahl an Autos mit Automatikgetriebe gewünscht.

We had a great car rental experience in the Azores. The car was in good technical condition, handled uphill roads well, and was easy to park in small towns. Returning it took only a few minutes.
