Booking cancellation

The standard cancellation terms are strict: the base price does not include free cancellation. You can add it to your booking as an extra, and this is what makes the prepayment refundable.

Cancellation policy

  • Free cancellation is available as an extra called Pre-payment Insurance, for €5 per day, up to a maximum of €30.
  • The cost of this cover is not refunded after a cancellation.
  • If you buy it before arrival, you can cancel the booking up to 2 weeks before arrival and the 50% prepayment is refunded.
  • Without this cover the prepayment is not refunded.

You can read the detailed description and terms of the guarantee on the guarantee page.

Yes, of course, you can rent a car for just 1 or 2 days.

However, it is important to know that during high season it is worth booking in advance, so you can secure a better price and availability.

The earlier the better.

The sooner you book, the better price you can get, and the choice of cars is still wide. In high season the cheaper categories are the first to run out.

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

📍 Airport 📍 Machico

If your flight is delayed, they will wait for you.

What should you do?

  • If you gave your flight number when booking, they track the flight and see the delay.
  • You can pick up the car at any time, even late, with no surcharge.
  • If the delay is more than 2 hours, or you arrive on another flight, let them know on WhatsApp: +351 965 711 066

If you still cannot pick up the car because of the delay

If you still cannot pick up the car because of the delay, our €1000 guarantee covers the taxi cost both ways to your accommodation and back to the rental company the next morning.
