Location information for Azores

Introduction

The Azores are a volcanic island group in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a large archipelago of more than 600 kilometers long. The entire sea between these island is a special economic zone and consists of more than 1.5 million square kilometers. The islands each have their own character, but are all rocky with beautiful bays and lovely lagoons.

Population

On the nine inhabited islands of the Azores there live almost 250,000 people. More than half live on the main island São Miguel.

Location

The Azores are situated in the Atlantic Ocean, about 1,500 kilometers west of the Portuguese mainland and approximately 3,300 kilometers of the coast of North America. The volcano Pico on the eponymous island is not only the highest point of the Azores, but of Portugal as well.

Economy

Livestock breeding (for milk and meat production) is of great importance for the local economy. However, there also is some agriculture on the rather unfruitful Azores: grapes, pineapples and bananas are cultivated. The cultivation of tea and sugar beets are less important.

The commercial fishing industry is namely focused on tuna, which is mainly canned for export. The Pico island inhabitants used to be active whale hunters. Nowadays, searching for whales (and dolphins) is a tourist attraction. Tourism is the indisputable source of income of the Azores.

Airports

Each of the nine inhabited islands has an airport, but the most important airport is João Paulo II near the capital Ponta Delgada on the main island São Miguel. There are connections with Europe and North America.

Public transport

All islands, except for Corvo, have bus transportation. On São Miguel, Terceira and Pico buses drive frequently and on time, but on the smaller islands the bus drives only two or three times a day and not on the weekend. For transport between the islands, you can choose between flying and a ferry. The ferry only sails between the central islands.

Traffic and parking

To explore the larger islands São Miguel and Terceira, a rental car is the ideal transportation. Do take into account that the roads are narrow, steep and curvy.

Hotels

There is a large offer of accommodations on the Azores in all price ranges. From basic camping sites up to luxurious hotels on the larger islands. Try to spend the night in a so called 'quinta' (usually the house of a rich gentleman farmer).

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Hire the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?
