WisRiver Posted December 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We will be on the Koningsdam transatlantic in April 2018. We will be stopping in Horta and Ponta Delgada, Azores. Last year we did a tour of Ponta Delgada, but this year we want to explore on our own with a rental car. It will be hard to get lost if we keep the ocean to our right and the mountains to our left. Does anyone have experience with rental car companies in either port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torchroadster Posted December 23, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 23, 2017 We rented a car from Hertz in Ponta Delgado a couple years ago. The Hertz office is in car dealer that you can walk to from the port, although it may have been a half mile. All went well, would do it again.

LocoLoco1 Posted January 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2018 WisRiver, In hindsight, I rightfully concluded getting a Driver with a car and not a Rental at San Miguel was the right choice. Most places I rent a car or motorcycle. Coupla reasons going w/driver and car worked best: The $$Price was right compared to if I woulda rented a Car. I woulda gotten lost... as he took us up into the highlands where buses couldn't go, and it DID get foggy. He spoke the local language while I got to loaf and gawk while he drove and knew where to stop. Roads were much twistier than Appalachia, Ireland etc. Other couple from our HAL ship did rent a car and didn't see near as much. Gary Travassos of Azoreantours was the name, well known.
