If you choose the „Addicional Isnurance” package, the insurance covers all damage, including wheels, windscreen and mirrors.
The €500 Car4YouMadeira guarantee gives you extra protection with every booking.
If you use the VAMOS5 coupon code, or if we handle the booking for you, your booking is automatically covered by this guarantee.
What does it cover?
– If you can’t pick up the car because your flight is delayed (e.g. taxi and accommodation costs)
– Fines or fees that you didn’t cause
– Unjustified extra charges applied by the rental company
This way you can be sure that there are no unpleasant surprises – we’ve got your back and cover unexpected costs up to €500.
You can read the full description and terms of the guarantee on the guarantee page.
At Auto Canhas the minimum rental period is 2 days, so you can book a car for at least 2 days.
At Auto Canhas the prices are the same: renting a car costs the same whether you book 1 year before arrival or 1 day before.
That’s why the timing of your booking is important not because of the price, but because of availability – the earlier you book, the better the chance that your ideal category will still be available.
Booking can be cancelled free of charge, so you can safely reserve your car well in advance with zero risk.
You can pick up and drop off the car at several locations:
📍 Airport
📍 Hotel/Apartment
📍 Funchal
If your flight is delayed, the car rental company will wait for you.
If you know you’ll be more than 2 hours late or you’ll arrive on a different flight, it’s a good idea to let them know via WhatsApp or email. If you provided your flight number, the rental company will also track your flight, so they’ll know your exact arrival time.
Arriving outside opening hours (due to delay): if the delay is already foreseeable, send a WhatsApp message to Auto Canhas – late evening/night pick-up can be arranged for an extra fee.
If, because of the delay, you can’t pick up the car at all, our €500 guarantee covers the taxi costs to your accommodation and back to the rental office the next morning.
