Local Booking Considerations

Ponta Delgada is the perfect starting point for a São Miguel road trip, with volcanic lakes, lush green landscapes and natural hot springs all within easy reach by car. Visit the breathtaking Sete Cidades crater lakes, discover the geothermal wonders of Furnas or take a scenic drive to Lagoa do Fogo and the island's dramatic coastal viewpoints. Driving is on the right, and São Miguel's main expressways are toll-free. In the historic centre, park in a designated car park and explore the traditional streets, waterfront and iconic Portas da Cidade on foot. Mountain roads can be narrow, and fog or sudden changes in weather may affect visibility around the island's viewpoints, so check conditions before setting off. Summer is a popular time to visit the Azores, so booking your rental car in advance is recommended. Planning to explore other islands in the archipelago? Inter-island travel requires flights or ferries, so ask the AbbyCar team about your rental arrangements before making plans.

Reviews

What our customers say about us

Ponta Delgada

We booked a car in San Miguel with them, and we are delighted. They gave us a choice between the cars they had available, and they were a category higher than the one we had paid for. We returned it without problems, they look at it a little to see if it has any major damage, but they don't look closely to remove any little thing and collect the deposit from you. The boy who attended us was charming.
