car was okay. hard sell on insurance, which i refused. so when I returned the car, they claimed there was a new (tiny) dent. When I asked to see the pictures from before, they only had ones from 3 weeks earlier when it wasn't in it but the car had been rented to lots of people in between. I'm confident that we didn't put the tiny dent into it. they almost got me to just pay 107 euro, but then at the very end that number turned into 200 euro (they charge tax and a large paperwork fee).

Everything was OK, I was satisfied. After our arrival, we were picked up at the airport within a few minutes (instructions were in the phone after landing), the driver was very polite and helpful, He gave us many useful advice what to see there. The car was OK, as well as picking and returning process.

The staff is very friendly and polite. The station is few kilometers away from the airport - free shuttle service is provided by the company. Return of the car was smooth and we were brought back to the airport with no delays. Car was OK.

This is a dishonest operation. I met the employee once I landed at night only to learn that the car that I had rented (automatic) was unavailable -- she only had a manual car was available, which I do not know how to drive. The employee said that she could potentially get an automatic car in the coming days, with no guarantee when. And she said she could not assist with processing a refund despite being unable to provided the car specified in the contract. She claimed to have not received the payment although I can see it (unfortunately) was processed the prior week by my credit card company. I have since read reviews for the overall company (I had only read reviews for the Azores branch) and realize that other customers have reported widely its dishonest / fraudulent conduct (not providing specified cars, not refunding deposit, charging for non-existent damages). Check out the other reviews for Surprice online before proceeding -- although I would never recommend renting with this company.

Great experience with Surprice which I used twice during my visits to Sao Miguel. Clean cars in good condition, transfers provided from the airport and you have the choice between paying the deposit or car insurance, and paying in cash or in cash (in the case of insurance, at least). Low-cost cars, very friendly staff, you just have to be careful to check the pick-up time when you arrive because depending on the reservation methods it can be wrong and it can be difficult to contact them for a first exchange. Once contact is established, we communicate easily on WhatsApp without any problem.
Translation
Super experience avec Surprice que jai utilise deux fois durant mes passages a Sao Miguel. Voitures propres et en bon etat, transfers assures depuis laeroport et on a le choix entre payer la caution ou lassurance de la voiture, et payer en liquide ou en cash (dans le cas de lassurance, du moins). Des voitures a petit prix, un personnel tres sympathique, il faut juste faire attention a bien verifier lheure de prise en charge a votre arrivee parce que selon les modes de reservation elle peut etre erronee et il peut etre difficile de les contacter pour un premier echange. Une fois le contact etabli, on communique facilement sur whatsapp sans aucun probleme.

We spent two hours waiting for the free shuttle to arrive to take us to the office. We called and they didnt pick us up because they had a lot of work (the machine said) and then two hours later the driver showed up, drunk, saying that he was just a little late (the reservation was at 11 and he showed up at 12:45, having given notice of (we were at the airport since 10:30). Another couple just arrives saying that they missed the plane because of him, because he didnt pick them up at the office to take them to the airport. When I tell him angrily that Ive been waiting for two hours, he tells me that he doesnt want to give me the car anymore, and then I tell him that Im going to call the police, he gets aggressive and says that he doesnt want to call the police and leaves. Andray was the name of the man who claimed to be the boss and who arrived drunk.

Estuvimos dos horas esperando que llegara el shuttel gratuito para llevarnos a la oficina. Llamabamos y no nos cogian porque tenia mucho trabajo (decia la maquina) y luego aparece a las dos horas el conductor, borracho, diciendo que solo llevaba un poco de retraso (la reserva era a las 11 y aparecio a la 12.45, habiendo avisado de que estabamos desde las 10.30 en el aeropuerto). Justo llega otra pareja diciendo que han perdido el avion por su culpa, porque no les ha recogido en la oficina para llevarles al aeropuerto. Cuando le digo enfadada que llevo dos horas esperando me dice que ya no quiere darme el coche, y entonces le digo que voy a llamar a la policia, se pone agresivo y dice que no quiere llamar a la policia y se va. Andray se llamaba el senor que decia ser el jefe y que llego borracho.

We booked a pick-up service with Surprice Rent a Car at Ponta Delgada airport at 11:00 am. However, the driver arrived at 1:00 p.m., that is, two hours later than agreed. We spent 2 hours trying to contact them to no avail. The driver arrived with the smell of alcohol and with symptoms of being under the influence of some substance and not in a position to drive. He took us to a secluded industrial estate to pick up the vehicle. This delay and unusual location created great uncertainty and unrest. When complaining about the delay, the driver was evasive and adopted a defiant attitude. Furthermore, he refused to provide us with the corresponding claim forms despite being required by law and in the end we had to call the police. The driver, who identified himself as the owner of the business, continually lied saying that he passed through the airport every 15 minutes, which is not true. Fortunately, we did not miss our flight, but other passengers who were in the same situation did suffer the consequences of this negligence. It is unacceptable for a car rental company to treat its customers this way. The lack of punctuality, the aggressive attitude of the driver and the refusal to attend to our complaints are very serious events. I do not recommend the services of Surprise Rent a Car in Azores at all! #SurpriseRentACar #Azores #Complaint #Delay #CustomerService

Reservamos un servicio de recogida con Surprice Rent a Car en el aeropuerto de Ponta Delgada a las 11:00 horas. Sin embargo, el conductor llego a las 13:00, es decir, dos horas mas tarde de lo acordado. Estuvimos las 2 horas intentando contactar con ellos sin resultado. El conductor llego con olor a alcohol y con sintomas de estar bajo la influencia de alguna sustancia y no en condiciones de conducir. Nos llevo a un poligono industrial apartado para recoger el vehiculo. Esta demora y la ubicacion inusual generaron una gran incertidumbre y malestar. Al reclamar el retraso el conductor se mostro evasivo y adopto una actitud desafiante. Ademas, se nego a proporcionarnos las hojas de reclamacion correspondientes a pesar de ser obligatorio por ley y al final tuvimos que llamar a la policia. El conductor, que se identifico como el dueno del negocio, continuamente mintiendo diciendo que pasaba por el aeropuerto cada 15 minutos, cosa que no es cierta. Afortunadamente, no perdimos nuestro vuelo, pero otros pasajeros que estaban en la misma situacion si sufrieron las consecuencias de esta negligencia. Es inaceptable que una empresa de alquiler de coches trate a sus clientes de esta manera. La falta de puntualidad, la actitud agresiva del conductor y la negativa a atender nuestras reclamaciones son hechos gravisimos. !No recomiendo en absoluto los servicios de Surprise Rent a Car en Azores! #SurpriseRentACar #Azores #Queja #Retraso #ServicioalCliente

This was a Scam! I paid for full damage insurance that cover everything (196 euro) and they charged me at the end 245 euro for a minor scratch that I didnt make or notice. They said I needed a police report for a scratch?..... Worst car rental ever. I will contact customer service if they have it one... 20/08 still no reply from any customer service. find a better car rental please
