Madeira Car Hire with Sixt

With rugged 4x4s, family estates, high performance saloons and even minibuses available, there will be something to suit everyone's needs. Sixt enables customers to add optional extras to customise their car rental in Madeira. For example, when you book you can decide whether to add an extra driver or extend your personal accident protection. Including a Sat Nav system will make finding your way around Madeira much easier, while a child seat is a must for families. With our help, you can find the ideal vehicle to drive during your stay in Portugal. However, be aware that we cannot guarantee a specific model, only separate categories of car.

Make the Most of Your Car Hire in Madeira

This Portuguese island destination is packed with beautiful sights, and renting a car is the best way to visit them all. If you are staying in Funchal, you can quickly get to attractions in the hills like the Monte Palace tropical gardens. A rental car is essential if you want to reach more remote spots like Porto Moniz in the north-west, where you can swim in the lava pools or surf all afternoon. Having a car also makes it easier to visit some of the picturesque villages in the island's interior, allowing you to visit sites like Prazeres, with its gorgeous architecture and petting zoo where kids can meet the local llamas. Whether you want to see breathtaking scenery or discover out of the way gems, having a car hire in Madeira makes perfect sense.

After reading reviews I was a little bit worried, but it all went smoothly. Person at the counter was pleasant and informative, not pushy which is nice for a chance. I have bought upfront fuel witch came with slight car upgrade, fuel was slightly more expensive then at the pump, but I have got better car, so not complaining. Car was clean and tidy all in good condition.

After reading the reviews, renting with Sixt in Europe for years, and renting a car in Madeira for a week…here is my experience and what you need to do: Within your price budget, (1) rent an automatic (2) get the 0 euro deductible insurance (3) get the wheel with windshield insurance. With the steep inclines and elevations changes, I wouldn’t trust the clutch in any rental car from any rental company. The roads are narrow, the garages are narrow, the turns are tight with curbs, some hiking parking areas aren’t paved, and some roads have big potholes. Make sure your rental has those 3 items above and just enjoy a carefree drive of the island.

One of the best rental experiences with Sixt! I don’t know the name of the agent who gave us the car at Madeira airport after midnight (on March 29th), but he is the best! Professionalism, great advice, true sense of hospitality, good mood even so late at night! The best service! So thankful to Sixt that they waited for us after the opening hours due to our flight delay and to the agent for the advise to upgrade for a more suitable car. Everything was smooth and easy. Thank you!
