Rental Car

National Car Rental - PDL Airport

I frequently use National when traveling for ease of use and highly recommend signing up for Emerald Club. They are located at most airports including Ponta Delgada.

Rental Car

Ilha Verde: Rent a Car Azores

The most recommended by others who have traveled to the islands. Locations include the airport and downtown Ponta Delgada but you can also find other options on travel websites. To pick up from airport select SMG-S. Miguel-Airport as pickup location We highly recommend renting the smallest car possible as parking and roads are very narrow.

Travel Note

Rideshare Services - Bolt

Uber is not as prevalent on the island. When used, most people are using Bolt. But this is also not as frequent as we are used to in the states.

Travel Note

Taxis - Welcome Pickups

While taxis are available on the island, they can be a bit pricey. Download the Welcome Pickups app to schedule taxis ahead of time.

Travel Note

PDL Mini Bus

A great affordable way to travel around Ponta Delgada! Runs from 7:30am-7:30pm during the week and Saturdays from 8:30am-1:00pm.
