Ilha Verde at Pico Airport

Cons: The car conditions were not great: the front tires were badly worn out, they were essentially slick tires, and the exhaust system would make strange noises in some regimes.

Pros: Same as previous comment. Good service and friendly staff.

Cons: Very, slow responses on any required changes

Pros: I did not like the service. When we missed our flight and I needed to rebook, I was able to get a hold of a gentleman by phone who told me no worries they would hold my reservation for 48 hours. We arrived within 24 hours of the original booking and the lady at the desk was extremely rude and unhelpful made me wait until the rest of the line has been taken care of only to tell me she would not honor what the gentleman told me on the phone I had to pay for the reservation we missed and make a new

Cons: The Customer Service gentleman I talked to on the phone gave me misleading information. Told me he would hold my original reservation for 48 hours. We got to the island 24 hours later. The lady at the desk was extremely rude. She would not honor with the original gentleman had told me. We were charged for two separate reservations. I did try to reach out to discovercars.com via their website and chat box for Customer Service. The chat box for me to type into would not work so I was unable to con

Pros: Nada

Cons: Mala atención coche sucio golpes no reflejados coche diicil encontrar potencia vehículo....un desastre

Pros: Picked up earlier than scheduled and no problem, staff helpful in getting us the suitable vehicle for a tall person.

Cons: Had no issues.

Pros: Pick up office remained open for our flight delay which was past normal business hours

Cons: Being charged €32 to pick up car post business hours due to flight delay where I could not contact anyone from your office. Rang Discover who also could not contact anybody. Not good enough and then to pay €32 to pay your staff is an absolute joke.

Pros: El coche estava con muchas telaraña en el exterior y muchos pequeños golpes

Pros: Fast and without any try to sell us more.

Pros: Friendly, easy, prompt

Cons: The car ran a little rough.

Pros: Good vehicle.

Cons: When we came to drop off there was no one around from Ilha Verde. But we were able to call the number at the inside desk and get the car delivered.

Pros: Car was clean and in very good condition (practically new). Transitions at airport (pick up and drop off) were smooth.

Cons: Would be much more comfortable if someone inspected the car with us upon return. Car was somewhat appropriate to the category but not enjoyable to drive - not really compact (SUV), heavy with limited power and handling.

Pros: no fuzz

Cons: car was a bit worn at eh outside

Pros: Due to gabrielle it was impossível to go to pico, I asked several times to change dates but no one answered EVER

Cons: The front tyres were very very very at the end of their life, as well as the windshields wiper blades. Definitely need a replacement for safety!

Pros: The agents were kind and helpful.

Cons: I wasn’t shown directly in front of me the hold being removed.

Pros: Helpful staff, easy finding, everything was easy at Pico airport

Cons: Car condition: front tires were almost bold.

Pros: Fast service

Cons: Squeeky breaks. Slow car (Citroen C3)

Pros: Value for money

Cons: Wait for a long time (almost 1,5h ) to pick-up car.

Pros: Friendly agaent

Cons: Long wait for pick up

Pros: Friendly quick

Cons: Nothing

Pros: They were quick.

Cons: They refused to give me paperwork showing deposit return too my account.

Pros: Easy and complication free drop off.

Cons: Takes a long time to pick up the car. This is a popular company in Azores, but besides having a somewhat complex process, most people don't check in online. It took about 7-9 minutes for each person to pick up the car.

Pros: Significant dings and scratches all over the vehicle. Perhaps putting stickers on the vehicle scratches to identify already acknowledged issues would help everyone.

Pros: Great service and fun little car.

Pros: Simplicity of the operation

Cons: Car cleanliness

Pros: Very quick and efficient

Cons: Instead of blocking the security deposit on my card it was charged and then after returning the car they failed to reverse it until I went into another branch on a different island. they refunded it immediately, but it was time consuming and a pain.

Pros: Mentioned in my previous comment

Cons: Our flight was detained from Lisbon and I have no luck reaching any of the numbers provided on the paperwork. This was our first time on pico Island. We didn’t know if the rental desk would still be open when we got there. Very stressful.

Pros: The counter agents were pleasant and helpful. Great fuel efficient vehicle.

Cons: I will be nervous until my 1800 CDN damage deposit is returned.

Pros: Car got me around.

Cons: At was already damaged and not clean, not the standard I expect when renting a car

Pros: Grumpy reception on arrival

Cons: Car was dangerous. Brake pads totally worn out and they would not change car. Also no petrol cap so not only risk of fire but petrol evaporated. We hardly used the car as it was unsafe and the company refused to give us an alternative or a refund

Pros: We asked a STW and received a new SUV with 3k kms, would definitely recommend.

Pros: They were easy with the condition of the car (no wonder, since the car was in mediocre condition)

Cons: I have never paid more for a rental car in my life (I am 50 and I have rented lots of cars). And the car was in bad condition. For example, the wind screen whiper did not work properly and we could only drive max 50 (and it rains relatively often on Pico). The waiting time at the reception due to non working IT-systems (so they say), is ridiculously long and, for example, you have to write your name and address on a paper, as if this is not data they haven’t gotten in the online reservation.

Pros: Easy and fast procedure at the desk (when started).

Cons: We came 25 minutes earliar than agreed, car was on parking and no other people waited but had to wait 25 minutes that procedure for pick-up started. The car has not been cleaned.

Pros: Deposit was not actually charged to credit card right away like some other rental companies. The credit card hold was removed immediately after car return.

Pros: My least favorite rental in my time in the Azores.

Cons: Hello I am writing because I had a difficult time picking up this rental contract number 901040. My flight arrived July 7 and when I made my original plan, I had attempted to pick up at 08:30pm when my flight landed however the website would not allow me stating the Ilha Verde counter is closed. Upon arriving to airport it was clearly open. I inquired about if they may be able to release me a car earlier but they said no. I had to take a cab back and forth for pickup. Gas tank not full.

Pros: Everything went smoothly, good car, low deposit.

Cons: There were no real inspections of the car on pick up or return. The car had not been cleaned before pick up. The passenger side windscreen wiper was in poor condition and didn't clean the windscreen effectively.

Cons: L'état de la premiere voiture qui présentait un défaut moteur et à nécessité un remplacement

Pros: Fast and easy pick up and drop off.

Pros: Quick and easy.

Cons: nothing

Cons: Response when we ended up with a flat tire. Replaced same ourselves which was fine but response of giving us pump in case we needed it later was very poor.

Cons: Car have not been ready on time a have not been clean. Inside and outside.

Pros: easiness to find the provider at the airport

Cons: fuel level not at 100% at pick-up, which made it difficult to refuel correctly at drop-off (but provider was correct about the way of working, so no complaints)

Pros: Prima geregeld.

Cons: De automariseringsgraad kan veel beter. Nog steeds zijn er veel dubbele handelingen zoals het overnemen van reeds ingevoerde naam en adresdata. Waste of time and effort.

Pros: One counter employee in Tercira was terrible difficult .. women who every encounter was difficult. All others wonderful..

Cons: We were told transferring rental to local agent but in end may not have been the case. We are unclear where that stands.. With canceled trips, you can’t get a 48 hour window to do a cancellation. And a weather dependent area that is difficult to manage.

Cons: All the pictures I had to take in the rain

Pros: convenient right in the airport, friendly customer service people. Good rates.

Cons: The pick up process was a little slow (system issues).

Pros: Nice car. Easy to drop off car.

Cons: waiting time at picking up

Cons: Absolutely horrendous service from start to finish. Extremely rude staff and a car in a terrible condition (including broken sensors and a warning light that "they could turn off for a bit if it bothers the client").

Pros: Short line up to get cae

Cons: They charged me 31.54 euros because the plane was late unlike friends who rented from Atlantis! When I returned the car I found out that they had not given me a copy of the contract when I picked up the car. I wouldn’t rent from them again!

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: I have rented a MEgane or similar, they gave me a 5 year old car with no breaks, stop lights, etc. After calling them several times they have replaced the car for a Clio (lower segment) but denied any refund.
