A local team for Pico and São Jorge
VelasAuto is a local car rental team operating on Pico and São Jorge.
The focus is simple: reliable cars, coordinated handovers, and fast answers when plans change.
Our history
VelasAuto started with a simple idea: keep car rental in the Azores local and well run. We began with a small fleet and focused on the basics—cars prepared on the islands, handovers coordinated by the same team, and clear information at every step. Since then, we’ve grown and refined the operation season after season on Pico and São Jorge.
