Visit the whole island, top to bottom, left to right and small villages in between and you get the feel of Madeira. Funchal and out to airport is different from an economic and population density point of view.

Nice and easy to use DiscoverCars…
Nice and easy to use the DiscoverCars web site to find a great value rental car from Flexways, who were very friendly. It could be clearer that the optional DiscoverCars insurance is provided by them rather than the actual rental company as this would save confusion when picking the car up.

Everything went smooth from reservation…
Everything went smooth from reservation - to the pick-up. Initially I have made a reservation, however, had to cancel due to changing the credit card. The return was smooth and quick. So I have tested everything from the reservation (2 times) and cancellation. No issues anywhere. I did not order full coverage on discovercars - therefore I can not rate that in any way.

Helped me with my car hire cross border
Lucia from discover cars helped me with my July booking in Croatia. The car that I had hired had restrictions around where I could take the vehicle to different bordering countries like Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania. Lucia not only helped me find a car but she double checked for me that the car I did hire had ISO Fix hooks to take the baby seat I was bringing.
