Ground Transportation
Taxis
Taxis are available 24/7 directly outside the arrivals terminal. It is a convenient and direct way to get to the main cities of Angra do Heroísmo (a 20-25 minute drive) or the nearby Praia da Vitória (a 5-minute drive). Fares are metered.
Rental Cars
Multiple car rental agencies, including major international companies (Hertz, Sixt, Europcar) and local providers (Ilha Verde, Wayzor), have service desks inside the arrivals hall. Renting a car is a very popular option for exploring the island. It is highly recommended to book in advance, especially during the peak summer season, to ensure availability and better pricing.
Public Transportation
Public bus service is operated by the company EVT (Empresa de Viação Terceirense). The bus stop is located outside the terminal. While it is the most economical option, the service is infrequent and may not align well with flight arrival or departure times, especially on weekends and holidays. It is essential to check the current schedule in advance if you plan to use the bus.
