Ponta Delgada Airport Guide
Car Hire
The busiest airport in Portugal’s Azores archipelago is Ponta Delgada Joao Paulo II Airport, located just two miles west of Ponta Delgada, the largest city on the island. Private taxis and airport buses provide transport for travellers who don’t opt for a rental car at the terminal. Well-signed roads make driving easy to other nearby towns like Arrifes, Nordela, Relva and Faja de Baixo that are just minutes from the airport.
Who to Book With
There are five major car hire companies at the airport: Alamo, Budget, Hertz, Europcar and Thrifty. All of these rental firms have kiosks just outside the Baggage Claim area. Demand fluctuates greatly based on the season, so be sure and book ahead for peak tourism months.
Need to Know Essentials
The following documents must be shown to the rental office upon arrival:
- An EU or international driver’s licence
- The credit card you used for the booking
- A second form of picture identification
- A confirmation sheet of the rental booking
Driving
Driving around the island of Sao Miguel is straightforward and it is relatively easy to navigate. Be sure to drive on the right side, and park facing the proper direction. Traffic congestion is not an issue on the island and parking is available anywhere there is an open spot. Look for signs on the street that indicate specific parking rules, or use a pay parking lot. Some petrol stations accept credit cards at the pump but cash is always welcome. A GB sticker is the only thing required on every vehicle, but there are no toll roads.
See our guide to Portugal for more information on driving here.
Transport
There are basically two options to get from the airport to your destination on Sao Miguel. Taxis are the most convenient choice, while rental cars provide unbeatable convenience to move around the island at will.
Taxis
Several taxi companies are on hand just outside the terminal Arrivals area to meet every flight into Ponta Delgada. They use a meter to determine fares, which are very reasonable considering the short distance into the main town.
Taxi prices:
Ponta Delgada Joao Paulo II Airport to Ponta Delgada is about £8
Ponta Delgada Joao Paulo II Airport to Faja de Baixo is about £30.

Parking
Ponta Delgada Joao Paulo II Airport has two parking lots. P1 is for short stays, with £0.50 per 15 minutes up to five hours. A full day is £8, while two days is £9. P2 is designed for longer stays, with £0.50 per 15 minutes up to five hours. A full day is £7 and two days is £8.
Wi-Fi
Free Wi-Fi internet is available from Boingo, but it’s not exactly an easy process. The first 30 minutes are free, but a credit card is required to sign up to Boingo to create an account. After that period, a small fee is charged per minute.
Information Services
