Car rental at Lajes Airport

Car hire at Lajes Airport often includes free extras like theft protection, collision damage waiver and third-party liability. We still recommend taking out some extra insurance to give you complete peace of mind during your trip. Some companies also provide free cancellations or changes to your booking.

All the providers have automatic cars, but there are not as many. If you need an automatic car, we suggest you book as far in advance as possible, to make sure you don't have any problems. Of course, you will also benefit from lower prices. It's easy to book through KAYAK. Just select all your search filters, including "automatic shift/drive" and you can compare the options.

The car hire companies that operate from Lajes Airport, or provide meet and greet services, all normally offer unlimited mileage. The fuel policies range from full-to-full or same-to-same, so keep an eye out when you make a booking. If you can't fill up before you return the car, don't worry, but the company will apply a surcharge.

Lajes Airport is small, with only one terminal building. This makes it easy and quick to pick up your car. Follow the signs for a walk across the arrivals lobby to the different desks. If you have requested a meet and greet service, they will meet you at the exit doors. Remember the documents you need: a credit card, your booking confirmation and the driver's licence of all the drivers who will drive the car during the duration of the rental period. Meet and greet normally let you pay with a card machine if there are extra costs.

Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Lajes airport to off-airport locations include 2Rent, Angrauto, Autatlantis, Avis, Europcar, Hertz, Ilha Verde, Micauto, and Rhodium.
