Top tips for hiring a car at Lajes airport
- When you go to the idyllic Terceira in the Açores the best way to explore the island is by using car hire at Lajes Airport (TER). To enjoy the best of Terceira and go off the beaten track, we recommend choosing one of the ten car hire companies conveniently located at the airport. Using one of these means that you can get to your holiday or business destination in a short time.
- When you book your car through KAYAK, you will notice that the only big international companies are Avis, Europcar and Hertz. This is because the Açores promotes local businesses that all provide excellent service at extremely competitive rates. You will also be pleased to know that fuel on the islands is cheaper than in mainland Europe, so you can do some extra exploring.
- Because of the island destination, most Lajes Airport car hire companies don't provide a 24h service, since there are very few flights between 12:00 and 05:00. The typical operating hours for the companies based at the airport are 05:00 to 23:00. If you do have a late or very early flight the companies charge an out-of-hours fee. Be sure to ask about this if you think this may apply to your booking.
- If you are travelling on a budget and you don't mind a meet and greet service, consider book Ilha Verde on KAYAK. They have an airport shuttle, or someone will meet you at arrivals. Another important thing to remember is that most car rental companies charge an extra insurance fee for young drivers between 18 and 23 years old, so bear this in mind if you need to add an additional driver. For the same reason, some companies that provide car hire at Lajes Airport require drivers to be 21 years old or older.
