Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & payment — how does it work exactly?

You have two simple options:

1) Direct booking:
Using our guide, you can book the car directly on our partner’s website. Use the VAMOS10 coupon code and you’ll get 10% off the car price.

2) Request a quote via the form:
Fill in our quote request form and we’ll send you the best options calculated with the discount. If you like one, we’ll arrange the booking with our partner for you.

Payment:
Payment is made on site at pick-up — in cash or by bank card.

Can I book a guaranteed car model?

A specific model is never guaranteed, but RentX always guarantees the same or a higher category. If the selected type is not available at pick-up, you will receive a car from the same or a better category at no extra cost.

Do I need a credit card or a deposit to rent a car?

No — you don’t need a credit card or a deposit.

Payment is simple and flexible: at pick-up you can pay in cash, by bank card, or even with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Is full insurance available? What exactly is covered?

Yes, you can rent a car with full insurance.

If you choose the “Rent with Insurance” package, the insurance covers all damages, including wheels/tyres, windshield and mirrors.

What is the €1000 Car4YouMadeira guarantee and what does it cover?

The €1000 Car4YouMadeira guarantee gives extra peace of mind for every booking.

If you use the VAMOS5 or VAMOS10 coupon code, or if we handle the booking for you, your reservation is automatically covered by the guarantee.

What does it cover?
– If you can’t pick up the car because your flight was delayed (e.g., taxi and accommodation costs)
– A fine or charge you didn’t cause
– Unreasonable extra fees charged by the rental company

This way you can be sure there are no unpleasant surprises — we stand behind you and can cover unexpected costs up to €1000.

You can read the full details and conditions on our guarantee page.

Can I rent a car for just 1 or 2 days?

Yes, absolutely — you can rent a car even for 1 or 2 days.

However, in high season it’s best to book in advance to secure better prices and availability.

How far in advance should I book to get the best prices?

Based on our experience, the best time to book is 1–3 months before your trip.

If you try to book too early (6–12 months ahead), that period is often not priced yet, so prices may be higher.

In Madeira, booking early really pays off: small cars can start from €33, with full insurance and no deposit.

Where can I pick up or drop off the car?

You can pick up and drop off the car at several locations:

📍 Airport
📍 Machico
📍 Funchal

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If your flight is delayed, the rental company will wait for you.

If you know you’ll be more than 2 hours late or you’re arriving on a different flight, it’s best to let them know via WhatsApp or email. If you provided your flight number, the rental company can also track your arrival and see your exact landing time.

Arrival outside opening hours:

Opening hours: 08:00–19:00. Pick-up outside these hours has a €30 surcharge.

If, due to the delay, you still cannot pick up the car, our €1000 guarantee covers the taxi costs there and back: to your accommodation and the next morning back to the rental company.
