Surprice Car Rentals is building on its international growth with new destinations in Cancun, Santo Domingo, and the Azores, which all offer access to tropical paradise experiences.
The new rental car outlets are located at the airports in the three locations: Cancun (CUN), Santo Domingo (SDQ), and the Azores (SMA).
The Cancun location opened in April of this year, while the rental counters in Santa Domingo and Azores opened in March and May of 2024, respectively.
The rental car fleets in Cancun and Santa Domingo include a range of minivans and vans, while the Azores fleet offers compact cars up to SUVs.
Each location is a gateway to natural beauty and unique experiences, making them ideal additions to Surprice’s expanding global clientele:
Cancun, Mexico, offers car rental travelers sun-soaked beaches and the ancient wonders of Mayan heritage.
The Azores, an Atlantic Ocean archipelago and autonomous region of Portugal west of the mainland, features lush volcanic landscapes and emerald crater lakes.
Santo Domingo, the capital city of the Dominican Republic, brings beachside relaxation and cultural exploration.
With this latest expansion, Surprice operates in 38 countries and 156 regions.
