Pessimo servico no aeroporto, equipe hostil, desmotivada e nada prestavel, apresentaram um carro que dava vergonha de tao sujo que estava, reclamei e a muito custo substituiram o carro por um mais recente com indicacao de avaria no painel, todo riscado e carregado de ruidos parasitas. Efetuei reserva pelo Booking onde contratei o seguro total o que nao valeu de nada(dinheiro deitado fora), fui obrigado a fazer um seguro adicional para nao bloquearem 1500EUR no CC sendo que na pagina da rent a car escrevem 300EUR (informaram me que essa condicao e somente para quem alugue no site da empresa e nao pelo Booking). A juntar a entrega da viatura e feito no aeroporto mas sem aviso o check out e feito num parque proximo e nao no aeroporto). Resumindo nao recomendo.

Translation

Terrible service at the airport, hostile, unmotivated and unhelpful staff, they presented a car that was embarrassing because it was so dirty, I complained and at great cost they replaced the car with a more recent one with an indication of a fault on the dashboard, all scratched and full of noises parasites. I made a reservation through Booking where I took out full insurance, which was worthless (money thrown away), I was forced to take out additional insurance so they wouldn't block EUR1500 in the CC and on the rent a car page they wrote EUR300 (they informed me that This condition is only for those who rent on the company's website and not through Booking). In addition, the delivery of the vehicle is done at the airport but without notice the check out is done in a nearby park and not at the airport). In short, I don't recommend it.

Wir hatten keine Probleme mit der Vermietung unser Auto war relativ neu. Viele Kratzer aussen aber das beeintrachtigt ja das fahren nicht auf jedenfall von allen Schaden Fotos machen! Am besten wenn man das Auto bei dem Werkstatt Mitarbeiter abholt Was mir nur spater aufgefallen ist die Reifen hinten hatten nichtmehr viel Profil. Abgabe war auch kein Problem Kaution von 1600EUR ziemlich viel aber ist halt so Wurde da safe nochmal mieten

Translation

We had no problems renting our car as it was relatively new. Lots of scratches on the outside but that doesn't affect driving Be sure to take photos of any damage! It's best if you pick up the car from the workshop employee What I only noticed later was that the rear tires no longer had much tread. Delivery wasn't a problem either Deposit of EUR1600 is quite a lot but that's just the way it is Would rent there safe again

The car was not new, but maintained and considering the price it was a very good deal. No deposit required if you have a credit card. When you take car you check it together with employee and mark all the scratches, etc in the document. No issues on car return.

The car was old but there was no problem. I liked that there is no deposit if you have a credit card. Otherwise the deposit is 300 eur cash.

Accueil correct a l'agence de l'aeroport. Voiture en tres bon etat (une 500 neuve). En insistant un peu et avec un supplement de 11EUR nous avons pu retourner le vehicule en ville a l'agence principale (bon accueil). Pratique si vous arrivez a l'aeroport et repartez en ferry. Il y a une agence au port aussi.

Translation

Correct reception at the airport agency. Car in very good condition (a new 500). By insisting a little and with a supplement of EUR11 we were able to return the vehicle in town to the main agency (welcome). Convenient if you arrive at the airport and leave by ferry. There is an agency at the port too.

The car itself was fine, but the lady at the reception was unfriendly and unhelpful. Upon arrival she was insistent that they required a Visa credit card if we wanted to avoid paying for compulsory insurance. I checked my booking terms and conditions which stated that I could pay via several different methods (Mastercard, Amex etc...) and she suddenly went quiet and proceeded as normal. I'm not sure whether she was just poorly informed or whether it was an attempt to squeeze some more money from us.

Great experience with this car rental agency. We were able to hire something the same day and drive around the island to do a couple of walks and check out the lighthouse and museum at the far end. The paperwork was quick and painless. You need ID and driving licence. We dropped off as requested to the ferry terminal and they have a key deposit box where you can drop the keys out of hours which suited us perfectly. I would use them again.

The car was fine, but the staff was unfriendly and unmotivated. After inspecting the car for scratches, we discovered that the tank was not completely full (full to full tank control). The staff then told us that it was a defect and that this was normal. Before we dropped off we filled up the car and the fuel gauge was full. So we filled up more than we actually used because the car wasnt full when we picked it up. Fraud. Be careful when picking up!
Translation
Das Auto war in Ordnung, allerdings war das Personal unfreundlich und unmotiviert. Nach der Sichtung des Autos auf Kratzer haben wir festgestellt, dass der Tank nicht ganz voll war (bei voll zu voll Tankregelung) Das Personal sagte uns daraufhin, dass es sich um einen Defekt handelt und dies normal ist. Vor Abgabe tankten wir das Auto und die Tankanzeige war auf voll. Demnach haben wir mehr getankt als wir tatsachlich verbraucht haben, da das Auto bei Abholung nicht vollgetankt war. Betrug. Aufpassen bei eurer Abholung!

I have never experienced such unfriendly treatment. These employees have no place in a company. A shame.

Car in poor condition (1 broken tail light!) and dirty inside (good layer of dust on the dashboard and stained seats). Hypothesis: they are overbooking and, bad luck, we came across the rotten reserve fund. When we ask for a commercial gesture for the condition of the car by returning it, the answer: not possible, you have been upgraded...
Translation
Voiture en mauvais etat (1 feu arriere casse!) et sale a linterieur (bonne couche de poussiere sur le tableau de bord et sieges taches). Hypothese : ils font de loverbooking et, manque de chance, on est tombe sur la caisse pourrie de reserve. Quand on demande un geste commercial pour letat de la voiture en allant la rendre, reponse : pas possible, vous avez ete upgrade...

The person who served us was rude and very unfriendly. We felt attacked, instead of explaining things to you, he scolded you. When we arrived the office was empty, we called the central office by phone and then he came. When he appeared, he called the switchboard to report that he was already at his place of work and seemed to be angry with us on the phone with his colleague. He spoke to us in Portuguese (not caring that we didnt know the language) until we explicitly asked him if he spoke English. Then she changed her language and was also fluent with the language. Remember that the office DOES NOT FOLLOW the airport schedule and therefore if you have a flight outside its schedule, they make you pay a supplement, when in most airports you can return the car by leaving the key at a mailbox Look for another option because in the end the joke will be more expensive for you...
Translation
La persona que ens va atendre va ser maleduaca i molt antipatica. Ens vam sentir atacats, en comptes d explicar-te les coses, et renyava. A l arribar l oficina era buida, vam trucar a la central per telefon i aleshores va venir. Quan va apareixer, va trucar a la central per informar que ja era al seu lloc de feina i semblava que se n enfotia de nosaltres amb la companya per telefon. Ens va parlar amb portugues (sense importar-li que no coneguessim l idioma) fins que explicitament li vam demanar si parlava angles. Aleshores va canviar d idioma i tambe era fluida amb la llengua. Penseu que l oficina NO SEGUEIX l horari de l aeroport i per tant si tens el vol fora del seu horari, et fan pagar un suplement, quan a la majoria d aeroports pots fer el retorn del cotxe deixant la clau a una bustia. Busqueu una altre opcio perque al final us sortira mes cara la broma

The car rental was ok. You can also take the car to other islands on the ferry for a fee. However, they do not advise whether it is even possible to do this (depending on the day), as the ferries take cars at different frequencies depending on the season. In addition, a return trip by ferry is (sometimes) not possible every day. When we asked about it we said: yes, you can try it. So unfortunately we bought 2 crossings to different islands ( 25 each), of which we could only use one. I found that pretty weak. Otherwise had no problems.
Translation
Die Autovermietung war ok. Man kann das Auto gegen eine Gebuhr auch auf andere Inseln mit der Fahre mitnehmen. Sie beraten jedoch nicht, ob es (je nach Tag) moglich ist dies uberhaupt zu tun, da die Fahren, je nach Saison, unterschiedlich oft Autos mitnehmen. Ausserdem ist eine Ruckfahrt per Fahre (manchmal) nicht jeden Tag moglich. Als wir danach fragten hiess es: ja, sie konnen es ja mal versuchen. Also haben wir leider 2 Uberfahrten auf verschiedene Inseln (je 25 ) gekauft, wovon wir nur eine nutzen konnten. Das fand ich ziemlich schwach. Ansonsten keine Probleme gehabt.
