February 22, 2023

Pros: Efficient

Cons: When I picked the car up I was asked if I was driving up hills because there was an offer to upgrade for a discount - this is really NOT okay - of course I knew I'd be going up hills, it's a volcanic island! Why would you offer a car that might not be able to get up hills - I did not upgrade and the car was fine but clearly not entirely suitable for the environment. The desk was confusing becausue there are x2 possible desk - a few people were confused by this - it needs to be made more clear.

October 15, 2022

Pros: For my inconvenience of waiting I was up graded from a compact car to a SUV. Easy and quick drop off in lot and service counter quick drop off spot.

Cons: Only one person at counter when we arrived at 9:00 PM, took more than an hour to go three rentals. Thought I was second in line then a coupe arrived that had been there before us, had gone to another counter and the returned. I was not informed of this until I seeked information when I was served as to why that customer was served first. Should have been told of the situation and saved a lot of concern with being cut off in line. When I went to get the vehicle, they could not find it at first,

September 20, 2022

Pros: The dropoff was quick. All staff was very friendly and clear.

Cons: The waiting line at pickup was extremely long. I was 3rd in line at arrival, and spent +-30min. After me were 6-8 more people waiting. A lot of information needed at the desk can be provided on beforehand. The baby seat was very basic (no isofix, loose ends at the straps, very light, …) it felt rather unsafe.

September 18, 2022

Pros: Agents were friendly, easy to find desks, very clean cars

Cons: Reserved an automatic car received a manual transmission car. Didn't know until actually in the car and had everything checked out. I'm guessing automatic cars have a price premium that I paid but did not receive the benefit. When returning the car there wasn't an agent at the desk for about 10 minutes.

Renault Twingo
September 18, 2022

Cons: They charged me €350 for a flat tyre that occurred within 15 mins of picking the car up and we had the hassle of changing the wheel andthe car over. We were told no damage to the wheel had occurred and it was just one of those things. On returning the replacement car we were informed that lots of work had been required on the punctured wheel. No evidence of the work required was provided other than an invoice when the car was returned. We were effectively held to ransom. I would not use again.

September 14, 2022

Cons: The computer system seemed totally inefficient as it took half an hour to pick up the car while standing at the counter with the agent. The agent was just waiting for the system to print the forms. It was ridiculous, Sam timely process for dropping the car off. The rental car also had very squeaky brakes and the passenger mirror was scraped.

September 10, 2022

Pros: Agent helped me get a different vehicle because I messed up my reservation pick-up time. The original vehicle that I reserved was not available for 3 hours because my reservation time was 9am but should have been 6am - this was my mistake. SUV that I did rent was great, worked well and was just right for me and my fellow travelers.

Cons: there was a long line to pick up the car so I had to stand in line for a long time.

September 8, 2022

Pros: Condition of car was good

Cons: Drop-off staff looked miserable and were rude too clients. Told one client off and wanted to charge me 30 Euros for bringing car back 10 minutes early! Told me I should read the contract before sibning it. What had until then been a very good rental experience ended on a sour note.

August 26, 2022

Pros: Pickup/drop off were each a 45 min process. Very inefficient considering everyone picking up is likely tired from long travel and everyone dropping off has a plane to catch and shouldn’t need go budget almost an hour to drop off car.

Pros: People were very friendly and I like to support local companies.

Cons: At the rental point, they asked me to pay for a second driver so that I could use my wife's credit card.

The problem specifically at this rental point, because on another island, the same rental company did not asked to pay for a second driver.

Cons: The associate at the airport was initially confused about our arrival time and the printout for our reservation because the times didn't coincide.

So around 20 people were waiting in one line and the second line was empty. We tried to go to the empty line after waiting 30 minutes, and were sent back to wait, and told that this line I specifically for the drop off car. New people started to arrive and went to the drop off line and to our surprise, they were given the car keys

Pros: Very good car and very nice and friendly agents

Cons: The queue when we arrived was ridiculously long and everyone was processed extremely slowly. I don't understand why so much of the operation is still paper based. We waited over an hour to get served and it was all people from a single flight in front of us. On drop-off we had to queue again and it took the agent a few minutes to manually find our contract from a pile of paperwork on their desk. There is a lot of scope to optimise/digitise this whole operation.

Cons: There are hidden fees by way of EUR 10.00 "Cleaning deposit" at first deposit was kindly requested, then angrily required and lastly we were kept hostage (car keys withheld) for over an hour unless we signed an agreement agreeing to the deposit. The deposit in essence is a fee as the agent requires the car to go though a car wash. We rent cars frequently and never faced with such a "clever" scam. The agent said that she represents "Hertz" and "these are my terms." We were with our baby daughter

Cons: They charged a 10€ Cleaning fee that was supposed to be returned if car was in the same condition. It was on the inside, on the outside it wasnt considering it was raining etc the days before but was overall as clean as usual and they didnt return the cleaning fee which was not presented as well when we rented on this website. Also when we picked the car,it had an engine service amber light and when we called the assistance they said it was asking to go to inspection but it was supposed to be ok

March 5, 2020

Pros: Honesty of staff, explaining that because of competition in the car rental business the only way to cut costs is to transfer services to the customers- eg the clean car incentive where customers are required to return the car clean following which they receive a 10 euro deposit

United Kingdom
Renault Twingo
March 3, 2020

Pros: Read a few horror stories about Ilha Verde, but experienced no problems whatsoever with my car hire. The extra €10 deposit for car cleaning was unexpected, but I kept the car clean and the deposit was returned with no problem at all. My car already had lots of scrapes on it when I picked it up (it is quite easy to scrape the car on São Miguel), but this didn't pose any problems when returning. At £7 for a week's car hire (last minute discount?) this was incredible value.

Cons: Maybe be more open with the €10 deposit for cleaning - it's a reasonable policy, but it just feels like a sneaky extra charge if people don't know about it in advance.

Portugal

March 3, 2020

Cons: I've delivered the car in perfect condition. The interior was clean, as well as the exterior. I didn't put it to wash, because there was no need. I asked the agent at dropping if he considered the car ok. He answered: yes, it's ok. Next, at the counter, they didn't refund me of the cleaning charge. It's the 2nd time, this happens to me with Ilha Verde, in the low season. An agent let me know that it is a common practice of Ilha Verde, only in the low season (to compensate low prices)

Cons: We were asked to vacuum clean the car before we returned it but none of the local garages had vacuum cleaners so got charged a 10 euro fee for cleaning. It's only a small fee but left a bitter taste after trying to keep the car clean whilst we had it. The inspections before and after were very thorough and gave the impression that they were looking for opportunities to claim for damages. This may be me being sceptical and they may have been just looking after the car which was very new!

I would recommend not spending time attempting to charge for dings or dents less than ~3cm.

The representatives at this time were incredibly rude.

Pros: cheap

Cons: took about an hour to return car at inside desk, even though we had form signed outside saying no issues. additionally, for over a week the $1100 hold remains pending on my credit card, which is the largest hold i have ever seen form a rental car company. the people were friendly, but overall this amounts to very poor service.

Pros: Good price.

Cons: Bad ratings online- was not warned. They mark every ding on the car after they take your deposit. Made us feel like we were being scammed. The cars papers had over 100 pencil marks and they told us every stone chip counts. We did not feel comfortable using this company.

Cons: The woman at the desk offered me an upgrade for more money that included their insurance and no deposit. I was not interested. When I told her I had insurance on my visa she said I had to pay over 1000 for deposit which I asked about. She became very rude and said if you had booked with my company instead of your company I would not have o pay the deposit..Handed me the papers abruptly and did not give much direction as to where to get it.

Pros: Clean, functional, dependable car.

Cons: Did not like the "Ilha Verde" sticker prominently displayed on the rear window of the car. It announces that we are tourists everywhere we go, which could be a safety issue if criminals targeting tourists see it.

Nissan Note
July 21, 2017

Pros: Nothing apart from the reasonable fare

Cons: I lost time in switching car: the first they offered was much bigger than I needed and they did not tell me in advance that the car was automatic (I do not like that at all). The agents, moreover, doubted I had refilled that thank and wanted me to pay an extra. They should know that the car had a broken needle for gas, never reaching the full position. I could avoid the extra charge only finding back and showing the receipt (with loss of time just before a flight).
