Cheap Alamo Car Rental in Ponta Delgada

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.

Using a GPS or navigation app can help you avoid traffic jams and find efficient routes.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Ponta Delgada, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If you are travelling to Ponta Delgada and considering renting a car, choosing an in-terminal car rental supplier can save you time and hassle. Suppliers like Alamo have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.
