Ponta Delgada Airport (PDL): The most common location to pick-up and return the car.

This can be especially convenient if you don't need a car for the full length of your stay, or you are arriving late and want to save 1 day of rental by picking it up the following day. At the end of the rental you can always return your car at a different location - such as the airport - as we don't charge one way fees.

Ferry Terminal of Ponta Delgada: Located next to the sea side boardwalk, in the heart of Ponta Delgada. Most of the whale watching tours depart from here.
