Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my São Miguel car reservation?
We know that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most rentals provide a full refund if you let us know at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. It's still good to scan the policy though because there are some exclusions. If you can't find the answer there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car on São Miguel?
You'll have to be at least 18 to rent a ride on São Miguel. Renters under 25 are usually charged extra fees, as statistics show younger drivers have a higher likelihood of causing damage. Check the fine print before making a reservation to avoid any surprises at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car on São Miguel?
You'll require a credit card in your name and a valid driver's license when you pick up your vehicle. You may also require proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the outlet's insurance plan. These requirements may change between rental companies, so it's always wise to check before making a booking.
What side of the road do you drive on on São Miguel?
Stay on the right side. While this will feel quite normal, driving internationally still presents challenges. Learn the local road rules before motoring around São Miguel.
Can I drive in São Miguel with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes. As long as you hold a valid U.S. License, you're able to drive on São Miguel. While you may not require an International Driving Permit, it's useful to have as an extra form of identification. You'll need to organise it before your trip.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer on São Miguel?
Yes, you can explore the stunning scenery of São Miguel for a month or longer in one of our rentals. Just enter your travel dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and we'll track down the most competitive long-term car rental deals around.
Where can I find a São Miguel car rental if I am younger than 25?
This generally depends on the rental supplier you select on São Miguel. Some may rent vehicles to motorists aged under 25, but you can expect to pay extra charges. If you're between 21 and 24 years, a young driver surcharge may apply to your rental and you may also be limited to certain categories of cars. Find out the age policy of your selected provider and if extra costs apply.
