Europcar is the cheapest company at Azores Horta Airport for an Economy car, averaging $65 a day over the last 12 months, but you need a credit card for the deposit.

Ilha Verde averages $74 a day for an Economy car over the last 12 months, $9 more a day, and accepts debit cards. Ilha Verde does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so compare its card terms before choosing it for the debit-card option.
