KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Santa Cruz das Flores

  • Booking car hire in Santa Cruz Das Flores is a wise choice as you want to have the comfort of your own car to explore this picturesque island town. If you are visiting this part of the world, it is all about mountains, beaches, hiking and getting close to nature, so it’s a necessity to have your own car to enjoy this at your own pace. With much-needed extra room and boot space for daytime adventures, you can go sightseeing in areas that public transport won't have access to. Take a drive in your hire car to visit the crater lakes of Lagoa Funda and Lagoa Rasa, located near the village of Fajãzinha. Alternatively, drive to the highest point on Flores Island, Pico da Sé, for stunning panoramic views or explore the charming village of Fajãzinha, known for its traditional houses and agricultural terraces.

We picked their most basic vehicle for cost and because that was all we needed. It worked fine. Their service was friendly and very prompt! They did not try to sell us lots of extras.
