Lajes Intl Airport (TER) in Terceira Island is well served by ground transport options, such as hotel shuttles, taxis, and buses. Renting a vehicle from car rental at Lajes Airport companies is by far the easiest and most comfortable means of exploring the island and Praia da Vitoria. You enjoy the liberty of choosing your preferred car model based on your vacation needs, and you can drive the car first to test its performance, comfort, and safety before signing the contract. Besides, a car rental at Lajes Airport is an excellent means of cutting down your costs, especially when traveling as a family as you can rent a full-size van with enough space for all passengers and luggage.
Unfortunately, there's no gas station immediately right outside Lajes’ flight hub. The closest fuel station near the airport is approximately 5 to 10min away, depending on traffic conditions. The upside is that it operates 24h a day, offering you the chance to refill your gas tank even during the Lajes Airport car rental after-hours. However, fueling further away from the airport may save you a few dollars as such fuel stations are usually cheaper.
A car rental at Lajes Airport typically charges a premium for their rental vehicles because of added tax fees and the convenience they provide international passengers. Moreover, you can expect to wait in line at the rental car center due to the high demand for vehicles. If you plan to rent a car at Lajes Airport, we recommend that you book in advance. There’s an unlimited number of vehicles on Terceira Island, and the travelers book them fast.
Lajes Airport car rental operators provide a hassle-free return policy. If you'd like to check out other Azores islands, you won't need to reach their on-airport counters. You can return the vehicle to the port of Praia da Vitoria or Angra do Heroismo so that you can get on a ferry and proceed with your journey seamlessly. Besides, car rentals don't charge an extra fee for convenience. Still, you should consult your car rental agency to verify their off-airport return policies.

Where can I find car rental agencies at Lajes Airport?
If you'd like to rent a car at Lajes Intl Airport, you can choose to partner with various car rental operators located right at the flight hub. Alternatively, you can compare prices from other companies located downtown or in the nearby neighborhoods. These companies may not have counters right at the airport terminal but have offices nearby and are likely to provide vehicles at a cheaper fee.
What requirements are there when renting a car at Lajes Airport?
Anyone planning a car rental at Lajes Airport must be 18 years and above and licensed to drive. However, a higher minimum age is required for specific car types and models. Additionally, you'll need to show a credit card with sufficient funds to cover the car rental contract. A passport or national ID is also required. Any other individual apart from the credit card owner who will drive the car will be regarded as an additional driver. Therefore, they must also have a valid, government-issued driver's license.
Which is the best car to rent at Lajes International Airport?
The design and model of the car you rent at the airport depend on your travel needs. Considering the proximity of the airport to the two major municipalities, Praia da Vitória and Angra do Heroísmo, you won't need to drive long distances, and that's why renting a standard economy class makes sense when visiting Terceira Island. Besides, the cities cover a few hundred square miles, which means most attractions are closely located. However, if you are planning an out-of-town trip, an AWD or 4WD SUV would be a better option. A luxury coupe or convertible will be a good choice for attending meetings and parties in the city.

Incredibly friendly and helpful. After drop off I forgot my charger in the car and didn’t realize until I was at the gate. I went all the way out of the airport and they let me run out to the car to grab it.

Super smooth experience overall - loved the car, flexibility with pickup, and friendly staff. However, the pickup and drop off were a little sus and left us feeling less than sure of a few things. For the pickup, the employee did everything under the desk and didn’t explain what she was doing at all. For example, she took my credit card (I assumed for the deposit) for a couple mins and then gave it back to get up & say “I’ll show you the car now”. I asked her if she had put the $1300 hold on and she said “oh well I was going to do that later - I can do it now”. For the drop off, the employee approached us in the parking lot with casual clothing (no uniform or indicator that he worked for Hertz) and told us he could take the keys and inspect it now. We were just unsure if he worked there or not (wanted to take care of the car & avoid scams) so asked to do it at the desk and it did end up being him. At the end, I didn’t get a receipt for total amount charged & was informed we need to email Hertz for that. These aspects of the rental were not our favorite and it was all just a little interesting.
