Travel and transport agencies Santo Antão

If you're serious about freedom of action and exploring Santo Antão on your own, this is probably the most reliable car rental company on the island. The head office is on the island of Mindelo, but Novalinha has a fleet on Santo Antão. For example, small cars for the north or an SUV for Tarrafal; as the roads are paved, a 4x4 is recommended... You're sure to find what you're looking for at reasonable prices. Ask for the vehicle to be made available on leaving the ferry.

CV Interilhas is the company operating between the islands, in charge of transporting passengers and cargo. Before going to their offices, check the schedules and rotations on their website. It is highly recommended to buy your tickets (round trip) the day before, as schedules are subject to change. This has become almost the norm in Cape Verde, but it tends to improve with the centralization of shipping companies. You can also contact the travel agencies scattered throughout the country, which are well versed in this exercise.

Since 2007, Pegaso has been established near the terminal of the Porto Novo ferry terminal. The vehicles on offer are generally new, adapted to the island's roads, and the company has a small fleet of Toyotas and Dusters.

Please note that it is not possible to reach Tarrafal from Monte Trigo. Make sure you specify the mileage included.
