It’s the island vibe, not the North American overly procedural approach. So exhale and entrust that it will all come together in the end.

Take it easy around the island, only 1 stop light here, be courteous and enjoy

KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Horta

  • Book car hire in Horta and explore the beautiful island of Faial at your own pace. Buses on the island are infrequent and there may not be public transport connections available for some destinations. With a car, you can take it slow and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island. In particular, the incredible Caldeira Grande is only about a 25min drive from Horta. Faial is small enough that you can take a trip around the main road of the island in roughly one hour, meaning pretty much anywhere on the island can be visited as a day trip.
  • Horta Airport (HOR) is only around 10min from the centre of Horta. You can find a range of international and local companies offering car hire in Horta from the airport. However, not all of them actually have offices at the airport and have vehicles on-site. Some will arrange transportation to their offices in the city and others will arrange to have the car brought to the airport so it's ready when you arrive. You'll often need to return your car with a full tank of petrol, so if you're returning it to the airport, consider making use of the petrol station right next door.
  • When driving around Faial keep an eye out for signs that read "Miradouro". These will often point to picturesque viewpoints and you'll always be glad you pulled over to take a look. On the off chance that you have a breakdown while exploring Horta or the island, you'll want to be prepared. Like in many other European countries, your Horta car hire company should include a warning triangle and reflective vests in your vehicle. If you have a breakdown you should put the vest on and set up the warning triangle around 30 metres behind your car.
  • If you head outside the city or off the highway, it's likely that you'll encounter winding roads with sharp turns when using car hire in Horta. Fog is also quite common, so be prepared to turn your lights on and slow down when necessary. Keep an eye out for animals, particularly between dawn and dusk and be prepared for the trip to take longer than expected. You may find your path blocked by cows or goats and it's often best to wait for them to move on on their own.
  • Mini rental cars in Horta are around 76% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • How much does a Compact car rental cost in Horta?

    A Compact car rental in Horta costs ₹ 10,883 per day, on average.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Horta?

    Generally speaking, it's a good idea to opt for a smaller vehicle when driving in Horta. There are some narrow roads on the island and a smaller car will make it easier to get around the city centre. The roads are mostly very well maintained, so a 4x4 won't usually be necessary. You should also bear in mind that manual cars are more common in Horta, so if you prefer an automatic vehicle, make sure to book well in advance.

  • What's the speed limit in Horta?

    The speed limit outside the city is generally 80 km/h (roughly 50 mph). Within the city it's generally 50 km/h (around 30 mph) and on the highways it's generally 100 km/h (about 62 mph). However, always drive to the conditions and be prepared to drive slower than the speed limit if you encounter fog and/or heavy rain.

  • Where are the best places to park in Horta?

    It's fairly easy to find free parking in Horta and across the island of Faial. If you need to park in the city centre you may need to pay. This is usually relatively inexpensive, around €0.60 (roughly £0.50). If you're staying in Horta, parking your car at your accommodation is generally the simplest thing to do if you're exploring the city on foot. If you're visiting the Caldeira, you'll find a car park close to the top, just be aware that it does get busy during the high season.

They do not have a counter at the airport as advertised and the representative showed up 1 1/2 hours after he was supposed to be there. Rental cars.com, who it went through, has no way to contact them, nor did 2Cars, so you just have to sit as and pray someone shows up. Terrible experience.
