Just to reinforce the hire car issues raised by
MarcD up thread
Arrived in Flores today and everyone who had booked cars with Ilha Verde had no car waiting for them
‘Previous customers had not returned them’ There was a lot of shrugging of shoulders saying we should have one by 5pm This is 12 pm on a 48 hour stay!
Tried to ask the SATA guy if there was a chance i could change my flight on to PDL he said no because he was gong to lunch!
They eventually found some cars; we heard them ringing up customers
and we got one by 2.30 pm
Stressful
There seems to be a real shortage of hire cars and the car hire operation does not seem to run to international
standards !
