Drive on Holidays at Ponta Delgada Airport

Pros: Service was very efficient two reps working service desk did not have to wait long 15 minutes tops

Pros: Great staff. Very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Fast and efficient at the pick up desk

Cons: Was a very long wait for the shuttle apon arrival on são miguel. No clear markings on where to wait for the shuttle. This could be improved upon for future can rental customers

Pros: Friendly service. Meets you inside the airport when you get off the plane, calls for a shuttle. Once at the store it is very quick service.

Cons: Just that tires aren't covered in their insurance. I am not sure why they aren't. But zero issues overall.

Cons: The insurance was not necessary with discovercars cause the car rental offers an even better one ! So we paid double !

Pros: Once we found the representatives at the airport, everything was easy and the car was great

Cons: Had to ask tourism office multiple times where the representative was, they didn't arrive until an hour after we landed

Pros: You have a very friendly staff at drive on holidays. They were friendly, courteous, and wanted to make sure that we were ready before we headed out.

Cons: See above

Pros: Great staff. Terrific value.

Pros: Drive on Holidays was able to accommodate a last minute automatic rental car need.

Cons: The info we got via email said someone would meet us at PDL, but we had to walk a short distance and call for a shuttle. We didn't mind the walk - it was just confusing because the written communication didn't match what we actually needed to do upon arrival.

Pros: The service and people were great!

Cons: Just a little hard finding where to catch the shuttle :) but the rest was great!

Pros: Easy to find, easy pick up and friendly staff!

Cons: The only bad part was I needed to change the name on my reservation and because of this, I had to cancel and rebook. When I rebooked, it was much more costly!

Pros: Prompt with great English!

Cons: Said the roads were as bad as northern Portugal so we bought extra insurance - they weren’t nearly as bad!

Pros: The crew was absolutely wonderful.

Cons: They need more help

Pros: Our flight was delayed past agency’s operational hours but the shuttle bus waited and staff worked over time to complete the transaction without prior notice. There was an extra charge for that(33 euro) but justified. The drop off requires some more scrutiny so be prepared. The staff are overall accommodating and passionate and gave us a ride to the airport directly instead of shuttle due to foul weather perceived.

Cons: The shuttle pick up is P6, almost a short walk with luggage at night. This is due to economical reason and setup of the airport so not exactly agency’s intention. Make sure car condition is checked by yourself as there is a security deposit locked.

Pros: Courteous and efficient service and friendly staff.

Cons: Walking to the shuttle pick up at P6 was not inconvenient for us, but would be on a rainy day.

Cons: We knew it was an offsite agency. But didn't realize how far it was to the shuttle pick up point on the airport property.

Pros: The people who work there.

Cons: I don't have anything negative to say.

Pros: Everything was good

Cons: -

Pros: Team members were awesome!!

Cons: Service was great, the pickup point is a ways from the terminal

Pros: Fast

Cons: The first car had an issue but they changed it quite fast j

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: non-updated gps

Pros: Very friendly, informative

Cons: Having to walk so far to get shuttle and having to walk so far from shuttle drop off. All other places we had rented dropped us off at the airport entrance with our luggage.

Cons: Had to pick up car at lot I stead of hotel

Pros: sorry for enter this but true "none"

Cons: 1)The first car provided to me is bad, rubber-burning smell when I drive up the hill. I can't imagine how dare they do the dangerous thing to their customer. 2) I drive back to their office at the first day, and they change another new car but no car-play....

Pros: Nothing comes to mind

Cons: Location, cost and shuttle service all left much to be desired.

Pros: almost everything

Cons: see above

Pros: Employees Polite and well versed in what they are doing.

Cons: 1. Pick up spot not clear last over an hour trying to figure out where to go 2. Cleanliness of the vehicle, not 100% windshield, extremely dirty by the inside making it very difficult to see in night conditions. Safety issue here. 3. Wipers not working properly once more safety issue. 4. Was charged for half a tank of gas €110 when getting to Lisbon I picked up a vehicle from this organization with half a tank. This tells me that you are pocketing and double dipping funds from your customers.

Pros: very bad for the money

Cons: pick up hours, extra cost, return to the airport drop too far from the front doors when carrying the heavy bags will never use this rental car company David Sa

Pros: They were a bit slow, but super friendly & thorough!

Pros: friendly and they explained everything very well

Cons: Nil

Pros: Fast and good customer service, easy to find

Pros: No specific issues. Everything what is normally required, drive license and credit card, if you have it on place, guarantee less than 10 minutes for paperwork.

Pros: Overall the staff were very nice and helpful!

Cons: Took a little while to be picked up from the airport. Overall process took quite a while since many people were running into issues during pick up which was many their fault for not being diligent during booking. Tips from over hearing others: - No AMEX for paying for car during pick up. - There is a high priced deposit if you don’t use their insurance but it is return if car is in good shape. - Know what transmission you booked

Cons: The a.c didn't work properly

Pros: The company drive on holidays they affiliate with charged me 150€ for a small scratch even after I purchased the total relax coverage that supposedly cover scratches. It was wrong and extremely unfair. When I got into contact with Discover Cars regarding this nothing was fixed. Shameful.

Cons: The company drive on holidays they affiliate with charged me 150€ for a small scratch even after I purchased the total relax coverage that supposedly cover scratches. It was wrong and extremely unfair. When I got into contact with Discover Cars regarding this nothing was fixed. Shameful.

Pros: Good staff

Cons: They pick and leave you very far away from the airport

Pros: Everything was quick and painless

Cons: That is was located away from the airport

Pros: Our rep, Alex, was super helpful and friendly during pick up - he answered all questions and went above and beyond for us!

Pros: Very nice and helpful staff

Cons: N/A

Pros: Very nice and polite staff. Smooth car delivery.

Cons: All good.

Pros: No issues with selection, booking and payment. No up selling tactics.

Cons: €1300 deposit and not knowing the process in case of a claim. But I understand that this is European “thing”.

Pros: Bad Bad service. Staff without training and social skills. Instead of explaining they provoque friction and conflicts. Thank God one of the ladie colleague knows how to talk to costumers. They used everything to see if they could take us more extra money. First and last time and i will do all i can to spread the word!

Cons: Our time was disrespected by the staff who took 50 minutes to provide us with the car, despite no other customers being present at the time. The staff member prioritized training a new member over attending to our needs, even though we had just finished a tiring 7-hour flight. Additionally, the car provided to us was faulty, with an alarm that went off in the middle of the night. When we requested a replacement, the staff displayed rude behavior yet again.

Pros: Friendly, professional, reasonable, very helpful and accommodating.

Cons: Could have used more details about car function (how to open gas cap, sunroof, etc, no manual in car). Wasted some time waiting at pick up spot.

Pros: Efficient, helpful

Pros: The staff was nice but would not recommend Drive on Holidays. Having to walk and get into a bus to get to our car when every other company was just right there was inconvenient.

Pros: Friendly staff

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: Tried to bargain with us for a charge that was not our fault. Manager came across as rude, cocky and manipulative.

Pros: The car was clean and in good shape

Cons: Amateur staff, the car had to be washed, which is unusual, and the pick up location was away from the airport

Pros: Car and check in was standard.

Cons: Upon return of the car I was threatened to be charged 50€ for cleaning fee. I even washed and cleaned the car the night before, which has never been required for renting a car. Spent the last 30 minutes of my beautiful vacation arguing with the manager about the cleanliness of the car. Miserable end to a beautiful vacation.

Cons: Very unorganized, overpriced, and poor value for the money. They called me the day after I rented the car and told me they had given me the wrong car and I would need to drive across the island and return it. After much back and forth, they finally realized they hadn't made a mistake and left me alone. Very frustrating. They are also INCREDIBLY punctilious about documenting every single scratch on the car before you pick it up -- took a LONG time!
