Madeira Rent at Madeira Airport (Funchal)

Cons: The only thing I can say was car was asking for service which they told me they called me. The garage was too busy to book in for.

Pros: As above comments. Friendly and efficient with no hassle attempting to sell us extra insurance etc. did offer a larger car than we booked and decided to take up this offer thank goodness as only just managed to get passengers and luggage in with a very tight squeeze

Cons: Would have liked clearer instructions as to where to find their desk in the airport

Pros: The staff at the desk at the airport explained everything. Car was in a very good condition,no issues during my hire. Convenient drop off outside working hours. Deposit refund the same day.

Cons: I was bit anxious that the staff did not check the car with me during pick up. They send email with existing damages of the car and it is in Portuguese, so I did not understand. Although I took the photos of the car. After I drop off the car I got email confirming no damages so all was fine in the end.

Pros: Very straight forward and quick. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Polite and courteous representatives, good choice of cars, ease of pickup and drop off.

Cons: Ambiguity around checking the car, had to check myself and report back to the desk where everything was recorded. Difficult to fully check as it was dark.

Pros: Prompt, helpful service, clean good car

Pros: Fast and efficient

Cons: Car a liitle too damaged

Pros: Found the service really quick to reply - kind and fair.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Just so friendly and helpful. The car was superb, better than expected.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was spot on.

Pros: Tgeir kniwledge and efficiency

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good all round

Cons: Nothing that I recall

Pros: Welcoming and friendly from the front desk located in the airport. The help from the representative we spoke with second to none. We had a car booked and after speaking and discussing specs (HP and engine size) helped us find an upgrade suitable although it wouldn’t be ready until the following day, he was able to find us one to use for the rest of that day and night. The whole experience was so easy and professional.

Cons: Few scratches and dents on both cars we had but that is to be expected due to the nature of rental cars and people that use them.

Pros: Very well organised and efficient. Staff a dream to deal with. Lovely people.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: The car had a few scratches but was nearly new and ran beautifully

Pros: Quick, easy and efficient service for almost half the price of other car rental services in Madeira

Cons: Person at the desk during pick up tried to undersell the car we originally booked to get us to get a bigger and more expensive car by telling us it was not a very good car and was weak but the car was brand new and very good. Something to be aware of - classic sales tactic

Pros: The pick up and drop off were easy and quick. We dropped the car back at 4am, there was an east drop off point and key drop service.

Pros: Friendly welcome and process. Upselling was expected but we didn't want.

Cons: The condition of the car at collection was very poor with a lot of scratches and marks. As there is no handover from a representative, you are relying on own photos and video. I spent the week worrying about the process of returning the car and my deposit not being returned. Thankfully it was fine.

Cons: Great Customer service will definitely be back

Pros: Very convenient pick up and drop off within the airport. Friendly helpful staff. Efficient drop off and checking of returned car,

Pros: Very quick and simple process. Added my 22 year-old daughter as a named driver for £90 (11 days) which was a bonus.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Quick and reasonably efficient.

Cons: It's car rental, never a pleasant experience. Finding the vehicle in the car park was not as easy as it should be, bay numbers would be good as a guide.

Pros: Quick and painless

Pros: it was fast

Cons: we didn't know where to leave the key

Cons: Staff did not remind me to picture the car and afterward there apparently a dent on the wheel which I need to pay for

Pros: extra special customer service

Cons: Maybe could have been something to indicate how to fill up with petrol, and how to wash soft top. A quick summary of driving in madeira would have been cool also.

Pros: No queue at checkout (big queue at other companies). Friendly staff. No pushy sales of extra insurance. Efficient. Really nice car (VW Golf auto). Would definitely use them again.

Cons: Was disappointed to find the car had a big scrape down side after paying so much. But car was almost new, used only twice and previous driver had returned it with damage, so not much they could do. Staff encouraged us to take photos of damage to reassure us we would have no issues.

Pros: Excellent car. Did not charge extra for dropping off car at 6 am before office was open. All very easy.

Pros: Friendly efficient staff

Pros: Good communication service

Pros: The highlights were the ease of pick up and drop off and the choice of cars when I went to pick mine up was good (although they did not have the model I chose at the time of renting). The car was in good condition and reasonably modern.

Cons: We ended up with a VW T-Cross with some sort of small three cylinder engine (1.2 litre at a guess) and it was under-powered for the hills around Madeira. It was also manual without any form of hill assist. I knew Madeira is very hilly and you have to be a reasonable driver to cope, so we survived, but with 4 people going up 25-30% inclines on narrow roads, I was often in first gear. You have to do a lot of hill starts, so an automatic with hill assist would have been useful.

Pros: No time wasting and quick service to point of drive off.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: In Airport

Cons: They did not make clear how to exit the rental car compound by way of using a card at the barrier which was in the glove compartment and was also required to leave the car back. Additional charg for out of hours return when they just expect you to put the key in a box which costs them nothing

Pros: Speed of service, minimal fuss, clean and well equipped car.

Cons: The man at the desk offered us to pay cash to cover all excess fees in case of an accident, however he was aware we didn't need it as we already paid for comprehensive cover, so he was being cheeky. But I fully expected him to say that as they always try. He didn't have an issue when I said 'no'.

Pros: Best value out of all rental car offers and ease of picking up and dropping off.

Pros: Great service and easy to collect and return

Cons: Helpfulness of staff

Pros: Friendly and no hard sell of extra insurance

Cons: All good

Pros: Very friendly and easy to find.

Cons: The representative tried to persuade us to hire a larger car that would be easier to drive on the mountainous roads, but the declined. No issues driving the car we hired.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Rychlé bezproblémové vyzvednutí i odevzdání vozu. Auto čisté v dobrém stavu. Doporučuji.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff all spoke great English.

Cons: Not much. The £2,500 deposit only payable by credit card was a big problem. I had to get a credit card just for this car hire.

Pros: Friendly courteous staff. No long queue. Easy access to car

Cons: Wished we had a better knowledge of getting back to drop off- a sketch would have helped. Also didn't know about exit card in glove compartment after we collected car.

Pros: Car rental prices to high. Comper to other locations.

Pros: Good new car, clean and nice, easy quick drop off!

Cons: Spent quite a long time in queue picking up the car, but to be fair they've seemed to have some troublesome customers ahead of us. It was pretty smooth and straight forward once we got up to the counter.

Pros: Courtious and professional.

Cons: Long queue and waiting time.

Pros: Friendly greeting and politeness from staff located inside the office at the Arrivals terminal. Economy class provided was better than expected. Drop off was quick. Car was very clean. Drop off was straightforward

Cons: Walked into the office (located in Parking) to pick up the car, two staff wearing white polo t-shirt) was inside, made eye contact with them and was ignored. Spoken to a staff outside and he was more helpful.

Pros: Good service and ideal car for the Madeira hills.

Pros: Quick and efficient service, everything was ready when I arrived to pick up the car. The member of staff was helpful and explained everything in details.

Cons: The car was a bit overpriced for what it’s worth. We had Fiat 500, which was a bit too weak to drive uphill, or overtake on motorways. It’s good to drive in the centre, but not if you wanna explore the island.

Pros: Price and helpful staff

Cons: Could be better/ more prominent directions to Madeira cars
