Question 1

Payment and reservation can be made using a debit/credit card or cash. In case of a deductible, it can be paid by credit card, debit card, or cash.

We offer several optional extras: Airport Fee (€20 for airport delivery), baby seat or booster seat (€7/day), additional driver (€15 per rental), and GPS navigation system (€5/day). All extras can be added during booking or at pickup.

Yes, we provide baby seats and booster seats for €7 per day. We have seats suitable for different age groups and weights. Please specify the age and weight of your child when booking so we can provide the appropriate seat.

Question 15

Is GPS navigation included?

Accepted Answer

GPS navigation is available as an optional extra for €5 per day. However, most modern smartphones provide excellent navigation for Madeira. If you prefer a dedicated GPS device, we're happy to provide one.

Question 16

What fuel policy do you have?

Accepted Answer

We operate a 'full to full' fuel policy. You'll receive the car with a full tank and should return it with a full tank. This is the fairest policy as you only pay for the fuel you use. Gas stations are conveniently located near the airport and throughout the island.

Question 17

What happens if I return the car with less fuel?

Accepted Answer

If you return the car without a full tank, we'll charge for the missing fuel plus a refueling service fee. To avoid this, simply fill up at any gas station before returning the vehicle. We can recommend the nearest stations to your drop-off location.

Question 18

Are your cars automatic or manual?

Accepted Answer

Most of our fleet consists of manual transmission vehicles, which are standard in Europe and offer better fuel efficiency for Madeira's mountainous terrain. Automatic vehicles are available upon request but may be limited and subject to availability.

Question 19

Is the reserved car exactly the one I will receive?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The vehicle you reserve is exactly the same one you will receive at pickup, except in rare and unforeseen situations. If that ever happens, we will always provide an equivalent or better alternative at no additional cost.
