Easy to deal with. Communication was professional and fast. We had to wait for a while after we landed for the shuttle. They charge my credit card $1500 deposit when we pick up the car and the car was smaller than expected but it's worked out great with the small parking lots around the island. The deposit was refunded in full upon the return of the car. So no complaints from us. Give them a try.

All good except it was not clear during our booking process that they don't have a station at the airport and only a shuttle every 30mins to their station (10min from the airport). No way to book the shuttle in advance, so it seems to be luck whether you get a seat or not. Also, use another gas station - too expensive.

Very good and quick service, they'll allocate the car based on availability rather than your prior preference, but that's fine considering the efficiency of service. They have shuttle transport so when you return your car they will drop you at the airport too.

Very satisfied with ANC. Booked easily through discovercars. All details in there. Once we landed, i called contact i had been given and within few mins, our ride to car rental office arrived to pick up us. It was easy and quite fast to arrange all the things, no issues with English at all. Car return occurred also very quickly with no issues. Quite higher credit card deposit was released quite quickly though. Best price offered. Very polite customer service, we even communicated via WhatsApp. We cleaned the car obviously. The car had some minor damage, we were notified about it though (don't need brand new car). Higher required credit card deposit. Smaller trunk, would expect larger for 4 people and their belongings. Overall satisfaction, didn't expect that Unable to tell how would they react in case of rental issues...

We rented a car here just for the day so that we could go explore the island at our own pace and go enjoy one of the thermal pools without being tied to a tour! It was really quick and easy and the car was in great condition. Everything went super smooth and we paid a very fair price. My one minor thing is that they required a 1300 euro deposit which seems incredibly high as that is almost $2000 CAD. We got it back no problem, but I do not think I have ever been asked to leave a deposit that high especially since we purchased the full insurance package. I would still recommend, but just something to consider!

Awful service, they provide a car with consumed tyres that let us in the middle of the island, the wheel was obviously in bad condition as very weary and foam came out of the hole . We could have sustained serious problems if the accent had happen on the highway. When the wheel was obviously old , they charged us for the service , the assistance, and the gas , completely uninterested in the danger they put us in . Do not hire here

Not impressed with their car rental service. Tried to charge us for an extra 20 Euro cleaning fee. Car was returned in average condition for a two week rental, see photo. I've rented many cars and never been asked to pay for extra cleaning. I have kids, pretty normal. Cleaning is normally included. Car had allot of body damage, poor rental standards. Very hard to locate their shuttle pickup at the airport, no desk, no sign.

Everything was perfect. Car was in good condition. Shuttle service was so quick, just about 5 minutes away from the airport. They have their own gas station on the rental place, with a good price, so you can just refuel there which is very convenient. All employees that I spoke with were super nice and the price was amazing. One of the best car rental services I had so far. I got a Fiat 500 for my 5 days trip to the island.

Great experience overall! Everything was clearly explained, making the process smooth and easy. I had a minor issue with my car, but they resolved it quickly by offering a replacement without any hassle. Returning the car was also very convenient, with a gas station located just across the way no need to stress about refueling. Highly recommend this company! No issue with a deposit. Friendly guy who is driving from/to the office/airport.

Scam / request for credit card for the deposit (a first yet everywhere else they accept debit) otherwise they make you pay 25th more per day and say that it is your fault, you better read it. Dont even check the condition of the car with you. In short, amateurism go your way
Translation
Arnaque / demande carte credit pour la caution (une premiere pourtant partout ailleur ils acceptent la debit) sinon il vous font payer 25e de plus par jour et disent que c est votre faute vous avez cas mieux lire . Ne Check meme pas l etat de la voiture avec vous. Bref de l amateurisme passer votre chemin

Very good value for money. I had read bad reviews about them on trustpilot, but the truth is that there was no problem, we got a cheap car and they gave us a BMW, it was a little scratched but they were already aware of it. They provided us with transportation from the airport to the city. All good, recommended
Translation
Muy buena relacion calidad precio. Habia leido malas reviews de ellos en trustpilot, pero la verdad que ningun problema, conseguimos un coche economico y nos dieron un BMW, estaba un poco rayado pero ya eran conscientes de ello. Nos proporcionaron transportes del aeropuerto hasta la ciudad. Todo bien, recomendable

Communication, pickup and service was great. The car is also in good condition. Paying the deposit was a bit complicated as only some credit cards were accepted, but I had enough with me ;) The price was unbeatable for the time and the car. Would book again.

Kommunikation, Abholung und Service war super. Das Auto ebenfalls in einem guten Zustand. Etwas kompliziert war die Hinterlegung der Kaution, da irgendwie nur manche Kreditkarten akzeptiert wurden, aber hatte ja genug dabei ;) Der Preis war fur die Zeit & das Auto unschlagbar. Wurden wieder buchen.

Shameful cheating experience. After having forced your hand for comprehensive insurance at 25 per day, taken a deposit of 500, made an inventory of the car on a tablet, no paper document being given... on the return supposedly there were scratches on the plastic above the rear wheel...250 to pay immediately! As they are isolated and we had to take their shuttle to go to the airport...we had to pay. Their final words this is serious Oasis playing the insurance card!
Translation
Experience de tromperie honteuse. Apres avoir force ka main pour une assurance tous risques a 25 jour, pris une caution de 500 , fait un etat de la voiture sur une tablette, aucun document papier netant donne... au retour soi disant des eraflures sur le plastique au dessus de la roue arriere...250 a payer sur le champ! Comme ils sont isoles et quil fallait prendre leur navette pour aller a laeroport...il a fallu payer. Leur mot de la fin cest Oasis grave faite jouer lassurance de la carte!

Everything perfect. But the issue of withholding 1,200 euros on the credit card is a bit scary in case something happens. The place where they give you the vehicle and it has to be returned is on the outskirts of Ponta Delgado (they accompany you with a van) If you wish, when returning the vehicle, they can accompany you with a van to the rental office (in Ponta Delgado) or to the Ponta Delgado airport. The perfect rental car.
Translation
Todo perfecto. Pero el tema de la retencion de 1200 euros de la tarjeta de credito, asusta un poco por si pasa algo. El local donde te entregan el vehiculo y se tiene que devolver, esta a las afueras de Ponta delgada (te acompanan con una furgoneta) Si lo deseas al devolver el vehiculo te pueden acompanar con una furgoneta a la oficina de alquiler (en Ponta delgada) o al aeropuerto de Ponta delgada. El coche alquilado perfecto.

Everything has gone well. They gave us a new car and David helped us, who was very kind when it came to explaining the terms of the contract and the return (the deposit is returned to you in a maximum of 7 days). In addition, he gave us advice when visiting the island. We would recommend this company.

Todo ha ido bien. Nos dieron un coche nuevo y nos atendio David que fue muy amable a la hora de explicarnos los terminos del contrato y la devolucion (el deposito se te devuelve en un maximo de 7 dias). Ademas, nos dio consejos a la hora de visitar la isla. Recomendariamos esta empresa.

The worst experience of my life with a car rental company. Premium insurance is exorbitantly priced and does not cover everything. It still has a franchise. Much better than other company options on the island with fairer prices and policies. I do not recommend at all if you want to have a quiet vacation without headaches afterwards.

I didnt feel safe with the company because the service was terrible, we waited an hour for the pick-up and they couldnt pick up everyone we were waiting for and at the delivery, being outside of hours (6am) they charged us extra to take us to the airport and They didnt show up (they could have called like someone committed would do) and we had to take a taxi. In short, cheap yes, safe no.
Translation
No me senti segura con la compania pues la atencion fue pesima, esperamos una hora en la recogida y no nos pudieron subir a todos los que esperabamos y en la entrega al ser fuera del horario ( 6am) nos cobraron un extra por llevarnos al aeropuerto y no aparecieron (podrian haber llamado como haria alguien comprometido) y tuvimos que coger un taxi. En fin, barata si, segura no.

Very bad experience. First they tell you that the cars are at the airport, which is a lie. The cars are outside and they have to take you with a group of people to their facilities that are outside. We arrived with a 2-hour plane delay and they canceled our reservation and left us stranded. We had to rent another car at the airport and they did not give us any solution and did not refund our money. They didnt even give us the opportunity to take another car. For us it was a very bad experience and on top of that it was very expensive.
Translation
Muy mala experiencia. Primero te dicen que los coches estan en el aeropuerto cosa que es mentira. Los coches estan fuera y te tienen que llevar con un grupo de gente a sus instalaciones que estan fuera. Nosotros llegamos con retraso del avion de 2 horas y nos cancelaron la reserva y nos dejaron tirados. Tuvimos que alquilar otro coche en el aeropuerto y no nos dieron ninguna solucion y no nos devolvieron el dinero. Ni siquiera nos dieron la oportunidad de cojer otro coche. Para nosotros muy mala experiencia y encima nos ha salido muy cara

ANC Azores Holidays scammed me. I paid 346.37 in advance for renting a car - booking no. 27904. I later canceled the car rental and, in accordance with its terms and conditions, the company should have returned the full amount. Although the company promised me a refund, it never returned the money and eventually stopped communicating with me completely. I sent a complaint with many documents (bank statement, e-mail communication, etc.) to the European Consumer Centres. Its been a year and a half and nothing has happened, I still dont have the money ANC owes me. If I could give zero stars, I would give a zero rating! I warn against this dishonest company! EDIT: Reaction to the answer of ANC Azores: Yes, a responsible person communicated with me, promised me to refund, but the refund did not ever came true and communication from the responsible person has been stopped... Therefore, I insist that you are frauds and enriched yourself at my expense! EDIT 2: You are frauds, still waiting for my money...

Ivo was amazing with us!!! Very professional and caring. It was our first time in Azores for me and my boyfriend. The rental process went very smooth. Unfortunately, we were on a minor fender vendor. As tourists we did not know the best approach to proceed, and Ivo was extremely helpful and caring with us. He explained all the process so well and did his best to help us to process with the claim. We would love to go back to Sao Miguel and would ask for Ivo again!!

Excellent experience, at the beginning I struggled to trust the price, but everything went well! Direct pick-up from the airport with a van to their offices (and vice versa) as well as a free upgrade! Super recommended

Ottima esperienza, all inizio faticavo a fidarmi per il prezzo troppo conveniente, ma e andato tutto bene! Pick-up diretto dall aeroporto con un van verso i loro uffici (e viceversa) oltre che un upgrade gratuito ti categoria! Super consigliato
