Autocunha Rent-a-Car - Azores

Overall a very pleasant service and experience. We were unsure whether they had the type of car we wanted (since not all available cars seem to be listed on their website) so I messaged them via WhatsApp and got a really quick response. So in case you are looking for a specific car, don't hesitate to message them. I also really appreciated being able to rent without having a credit card. The salesman being transparent of the fees and overall costs deserves another plus point as well. The car was in a good condition and didn't cause any troubles. Car return at the airport was on time and went quick. The deposit was back on my bank account a few days after we returned the car. Thank you so much for the nice service!

Smooth experience. We rented small car and they delivered it to our hotel. Also they picked it up from our hotel. One weird thing employee mentioned - in case of base insurance there is cleaning fee. First time I have ever hear about car rental cleaning fee. Never the less, we had full insurence so it was not our case.

Great company to rent a vehicle in the Azores. I already made my booking several months in advance before coming to the Azores and the communication was very smooth as with the vehicle pick up.
The options to pick up or have the vehicle picked up are also extensive and make the renting very convenient and not at all complicated.
I would really recommend this company when going to the Azores.

We can absolutely recommend this company. We rented the cheapest car and insured "the silver" and it was totally without any problems. We picked up and returned the car at the airport. The staff were very nice.

Excellent experience with Autocunha! I rented the car several weeks in advance, directly from their website - very easy. The owner knew our flight and sent a welcome text as we arrived at the airport in Sao Miguel! I replied and he then quickly met us just outside the terminal in his shuttle van. We drove a about 5 minutes to where the car was, completed the paperwork and off we went! So easy. Wonderful car, clean, any prior damage clearly indicated on the contract (which was provided by email in both English and Portuguese) Best of all he gave us his cell phone number to call, anytime, if we had any questions or problems whatsoever on our trip. Wow!
Drop off was even easier. We went right to the front door of the airport, and he was waiting there to close the contact and take the car. No issues. Everyone we met spoke perfect English so no language concerns.
The two young men we interacted with were very professional, welcoming and enthusiastic about their car rental business!
These folks have my support.
Highly recommend.

Ricardo was very helpful and cooperative. The overall experience was satisfactory. However, bear in mind that they don't have a parking space/office at the airport. Since there's no key box at the airport, someone from the agency is required to assist you in the event of an early morning drop-off and that entails an additional cost. No complaints. Will repeat.

My husband and I booked the smallest cur, but finally they gave us a bigger car. We took the extra insurance and everything was perfect. Communication with Autocunha was done via WhatsApp, they are prompt and serious. We booked the car through website, they delivered the car in front of our hotel. Deposit came after 10 days on our account. Thanks

Communication was excellent and the process was so simple. They were exactly where they said they’d be in the airport parking lot both on arrival and departure. Their friendliness was the best as they inquired about our plans and made suggestions. They also let us know that crime was not an issue on the island and we could easily leave items in car. Overall, amazing service, vehicle, and best rental experience ever from a seasoned traveler.

Our agent, Gabriela reached out to us via text as our flight landed to tell us where she would be with our car. She was very kind and efficient. Drop off was just as easy, we pulled in right in front of the airport and the agent met us there immediately. The whole process took less than 5 minutes. The car worked very well and was immaculate. I’ve never experienced such a seamless and easy car rental process. Good work!!!!

Great communication and fast services!

Highly recommended.

Very nice staff. One of the best prieces in Azores. Car in very good condition - we had Hyundai i10. Even with small engine 1.0 we did not had problem with going up in mountains.

Everything was perfect. They were very flexible because car was delivered to the hotel even though we booked to pick it up from airport! Very good, quick communication. Everything was fine with car as well. I strongly recommend this rental company :)

This car rental agency is actually honest. They pick you up at the airport and meet you there when you fly out. The car I rented was perfect for my needs. You might pay a bit more here but you don't have to worry about false claims of damage.

We had a great experience using Autocunha on the Açores.

The communication via email and whatsapp was very quick & easy, a shuttle picked us up directly in front of the airport, the rental car was compact but had enough horsepower to take on all of the hills and mountains on the island.

The friendly Autocunha employees were always very responsive on whatsapp, when we had any questions or doubts. Return of the car was also easy and smooth.

I can recommend this car rental to anyone visiting the island, and would book a car with them again in the future :)

Great, affordable option! For an automatic car, it was half the price of the other companies I checked with- including insurance. And they even bring the car to you and pick it up! They also are so quick to respond via WhatsApp. Definitely recommend!

Great experience with Autocunha!
Gabriela and Mario are very kind and help me for all the rental: I had a problem with a mirror in the first day but the full insurance covered the damage.
I recommend to sign the full insurance because in the Azores the weather could be really bad for the drivers and full insurance allows you to feel comfortable and safe with the car.
If I return to the Azores island one day, I will pick for sure again Autocunha!

PS. The 150€ deposit come back to me in 10 days.

Great rental service, support is always available through whatsapp. The cars are handed over clean and with all pre-damages noted down. I took full insurance so no complaints about any late after charges. Insurance on Azores is not cheap- quite pricey, at least for rental cars. Fair tanking and unlimited kilometers included, the prices per day can go crazily fast up, so book before you arrive to the island. Workers speak english, so there werent any issues with the communication. I even got a stupid parking ticket, that I did not know how to pay, they offered to do it for me. In the end they sent a note to the police and even after a month neither was I charged on the credit card from the rental company, neither did the ticket arrive to my address. All in all they take care of their customers, 5 stars.

We had the best experience with Autocuhna, I work for a rental car company and all I highly recommend them. Very professional and transparent. Specially Mario, he helped us a lot to match the rental car to our needs and the car was amazing! We didn't know how good Smart four could be. Good engine, comfortable and safe for the tiny roads they have in sao Miguel. Thank you Mario!!

Great service from start to finish! Started our communication via email - they responded to each email within 10 minutes. Car was perfect, they even brought us the car to our hotel. It was way cheaper than other options. Both Mario and Marisa were really kind in person. We will definitely use their services again when we return.

We have had very good experiences with car rental. They were very punctual and rented us a very good / damage-free car.
When I returned it, I forgot my smartwatch in the back seat. The car rental company even brought them to the other hotel. So really a very good service.
