Everything was very straightforward, I

Everything was very straightforward, I was asked to buy additional insurance by Avis for breakdown etc, so it would have been useful to understand this wasn't included in the quoted price - if it was stated it wasn't obvious. It would be useful for you or the rental companies to provide more information on how pick up and drop offs work at the specific airports. Finding the drop off place a San Francisco was not great, as the address stated and google maps puts them in slightly different places - and the attendant joked that finding the garage wasn't easy.

Location information for Santa Barbara

The Portuguese islands of the Azores lies practically miles from anywhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The islands offer a quiet haven for travelers who want to escape the usual holiday spots of Faro and Spain. One of the quieter islands in the Azores is Terceira, ideal for travelers seeking the perfect getaway.

There are a number of ways in which travelers can access Santa Barbara, Terceira. There is an airport located in Praia Da Vitoria which receives a number of flights from the mainland. Given the remoteness of the Azores, the airport plays an important roles in the island's infrastructure.

Santa Barbara is located on the west coast of Terceira and is home to a population of just over 1,000 citizens. The town itself features narrow streets which climb steeply up the hillside, surrounded by quaint Portuguese-style buildings. Car rental in Santa Barbara is available from various providers.

The island is small and offers little in the way of major tourist attractions. The biggest reason travelers head to the island is to enjoy the sun and the sand, as well as beautiful weather. Car rental in Santa Barbara gives travelers an easy and convenient way to get around the island to explore all the nooks and crannies of the coastline.

When it comes to finding a place to stay, there are a number of small boutique hotels offering reasonably priced accommodation. During peak travel times, these hotels can be quite full. Likewise with finding cheap car rental in Santa Barbara, availability fluctuates depending on the time of year.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Car-Rentals.com the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

 What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

 Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

 What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

 What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

 How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

 When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
