Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

Payment

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

The specific car model is not guaranteed – but the category is.

When booking, you always choose a car category (for example “Economy manual” or “Compact automatic”), not a specific make or model. The model shown on the rental companies' websites is just an example – the actual car can be any vehicle of similar size and equipment within that category.

RentX always guarantees the same or a higher category. If the chosen model is not available at pick-up, you get a car of at least the same or a better category at no extra charge.

No, you need neither a credit card nor a deposit to rent a car.

Payment is simple and flexible: you pay on site when you pick up the car, in cash, by bank card, or even with Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Yes, you can rent a car with full insurance.

A “Relax” package covers all damage, including tyres, windscreen and mirrors.

The €1,000 Car4YouMadeira guarantee gives extra security to every booking.

When does it apply?

If you use the VAMOS5 or VAMOS10 coupon code when booking, or if we arrange the booking for you, your booking is automatically covered by the 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 imposed by the rental company
No unpleasant surprises – we cover unexpected costs up to €1,000.

The full description and terms of the guarantee are available on the guarantee page of our website.

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

It's important to know, though, that in high season it's worth booking in advance, to secure a better price and the availability of the car.

In our experience, it's best to book your car 1–3 months before your trip.

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

In Madeira it's especially worth booking early: small-category cars are available from as little as €33 , with full insurance and no deposit.

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

📍 Airport 📍 Machico 📍 Funchal

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

What should you do?

  • If you know you'll be more than 2 hours late, or you arrive on a different flight, it's worth letting them know on WhatsApp or by e-mail.
  • If you provided your flight number, the rental company also tracks your flight, so they will know the exact landing time.

Opening hours and surcharge

  • Opening hours: 08:00–19:00, pick-up outside these hours has a surcharge of €50.

If you can't pick up the car because of the delay

If you can't pick up the car because of the delay, our €1,000 guarantee covers the taxi cost both ways: to your accommodation and back to the rental company the next morning.
