Dortmund | June 27, 2026
We flew from Hamburg to Ponta Delgada and rented a car for the entire week. The car was clean, fuel-efficient, and very comfortable for travelling around São Miguel Island. The paperwork was completed quickly, with no hidden charges.
Manchester | March 5, 2026
The rental went without any serious problems. The manager stayed in touch, the car matched the booked class, and the return took only a few minutes. I’m giving 4 stars because there were small scratches on the body that had to be documented separately.
Basel | January 12, 2026
We rented a car for the route from Ponta Delgada to Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo. The car handled uphill roads well, was comfortable, and in good working condition. Thanks to having a car, we were able to see many more beautiful places on the island.
