Professional, helpful and kind! Self pickup and drop off is so easy. We had a minor problem (not with the car, it was in good condition) which they solved immediately. If you want a relaxed and care free experience they are the safest choice!

Very nice contact and service, everything was working super smooth and without any hassle. The car was in good shape and it was super close to the airport with an easy self check in and self check out. Joao was always very helpful and a great contact. We were also able to drive to the other islands which we heard is not possible with some other rental providers. We can fully recommend ,,my volcanic wheels".

I recently rented a car from Volcanic Wheels in Faial, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The car was in excellent condition, which made driving around both Faial and Pico a pleasure. Communication with the company was smooth and efficient; they were very responsive on WhatsApp, which made the whole process stress-free. The self-service pickup and drop-off were incredibly convenient, allowing me to start and end my trip on my own schedule without any hassle. Being able to use the car on both islands was a huge plus, giving me the flexibility to explore at my own pace. Overall, I highly recommend Volcanic Wheels for anyone visiting the Azores. They offer great service, quality vehicles, and a seamless rental experience. Would definitely use them again!

I made this reservation from the U.S. before my trip and their contact-free pickup made it so that I didn't interact with anyone in person. Even though all my interactions were via email, I felt so cared for. Their response time was excellent and they made the whole rental process so easy. I will definitely be using My Volcanic Wheels again on my next trip.

We rented scooters and Joao was just the best! We wanted a second one last minute and it was arranged within 10 min. Then it turned out we needed them the evening before and also that was arranged within 10 minutes. He was really nice, polite, thoughtful! I would hire him any time bc his customer service was great!

The car was in perfect condition and made my journey smooth and enjoyable. If you're looking for a stress-free car rental experience with the convenience of self check-in and check-out, My Volcanic Wheels is the way to go. Highly recommend!

The most comfortable Rent-a-car on the island! The car was very good and we were able to deal with everything ourselves, since they work with locks and there is no waiting for paperwork. Highly recommended.

For us this is the most confusing situation - there is no personal handover! The scooter was at the airport and was secured by a lock. Only after entering a code could the lock be opened and the key removed. This was also how you got to the helmets. It takes a lot of getting used to, especially since... a helmet like this has to fit. One fit, the other didnt. But at least this was replaced very promptly by a real employee in the hotel. It shouldnt have been our last contact with the nice gentleman. We had rented a 125cc scooter for almost two weeks. This was the cheapest in terms of price. The scooter, branded Vortex , wasn t exactly what you could call a branded vehicle. There was a lot of clattering, but it never let us down and was able to cope with some difficult inclines. The overall conclusion is positive from the point where we had a physical contact person. The temporary loss of a helmet (found again later) was easily compensated for. But perhaps we are already too old for the process of this impersonal vehicle handover!?! Even though the communication (email/phone) was always really nice. We didnt like not having a fixed place to go, otherwise we would have given it five stars.

Fur uns die verwirrendste Situation schlechthin,- es gibt keine personliche Ubergabe! Der Roller stand am Flughafen und was durch ein Schloss gesichert. Erst nach Eingabe eines Codes liess sich das Schloss offnen und der Schlussel konnte entnommen werden. Ausserdem gelangte man so an die Helme. Sehr gewohnungsbedurftig, zumal ... so ein Helm muss ja auch passen. Einer passte, der andere nicht. Dieser wurde aber immerhin dann doch sehr zeitnah durch einen echten Mitarbeiter im Hotel ausgetauscht. Es sollte nicht unser letzter Kontakt mit dem netten Herren gewesen sein. Wir hatten fur fast zwei Wochen einen 125 ccm Roller gemietet. Preislich war dieser am gunstigsten. Der Roller, Marke Vortex war dabei nicht gerade das, was man als Markenfahrzeug bezeichnen konnte. Da klapperte so einiges, aber er hat uns auch nie im Stich gelassen und kam auch mit einigen schwierigen Steigungen klar. Da gesamte Fazit ist positiv ab dem Punkt, wo wir einen physischen Ansprechpartner hatten. Der zwischenzeitliche Verlust eines Helmes (hat sich spater wieder angefunden) wurde so unkompliziert ausgeglichen. Fur das Verfahren dieser unpersonliche Fahrzeugubergabe sind wir aber dann doch vielleicht schon zu alt!?! Auch wenn die Kommunikationen (Mail/Telefon) immer total nett waren. Keinen festen Anlaufpunkt zu haben, hat uns nicht gefallen, sonst hatten wir funf Sterne vergeben.

We rented a VW Up in Horta and were very pleased with everything. Pick up and drop off were very convenient. We got a lot of support from My Volcanic Wheels staff before, during and after the rental. Highly recommended if you visit Faial.

We are very happy to have been able to collect a vehicle at a late hour, after the closure of the airport rental agencies, which close early in Horta. With Volcanic Wheels everything happens online and a locker allows you to collect and return the keys, its flexible and practical and avoids any inconvenience linked to domestic flight delays.

Nous sommes tres contents d avoir pu recuperer un vehicule a une heure tardive, apres la fermeture des agences de location de l aeroport, qui ferment tot sur Horta. Avec Volcanic Wheels tout se passe en ligne et un locker permet de recuperer et de remettre les cles, c est souple et pratique et cela evite tout desagrement lie aux retards des vols interieurs.

Paula and Pedro are very helpful and kind. Even though I was at the wrong pickup place they came to rescue me. They even offered me a car instead of a motorcycle at the same price because the weather was very rainy! Very recommended!
