Very friendly and professional staff. The car was very useful to travel the island. I recommend the option where the car doesn’t go backward when you have to restart on a steep road. I also recommend a small car as the streets in Funchal are narrow and steep. The pick up is at the airport.

Since I imagine many people have a smooth experience like me and don’t review, I wanted to reassure travelers that everything went as smoothly as expected for us at Sixt. We decided to pay an extra €120 upon pick up for the full insurance. Our car was as advertised and worked well. Pick up and drop off we’re very easy, and staff was friendly.

We have rented an Opel corsa for 2 people, that was ok but don't be shy to shift down to 1st gear every time you lose your momentum when climbing. From start to finish everything was smooth and precise. Had a little chat with Rogerio during the return inspection about what makes a good or bad car for Madeira, very pleased to share opinions with a car enthusiast and get some advices. Other people were friendly too. Price may be a bit above the cheapest you can find here but at least you know what you'll get and have no surprises.

SIXT is an excellent rental car company at the Madeira airport with an amazing staff that really cares about you. I tried before a different rental company at Madeira airport and I was very disappointed, but since the first time I used SIXT, I don't want to use any other rental company, I will keep using them each time I have to travel to Madeira, Portugal. They are very professional, they will explain everything to detail, cars are impeccable, their office is very organize and clean, they also are fast in service, they really go the extra mile while taking care of the costumers, their staff is A+. The last time I got my rental car ( Feb. 04 to Feb. 19th, 2023) I was seriously impressed at the counter with Victor Olmin and Diana and at the pick up rental area with Bruno, wow! amazing people and very exceptional staff. The car was very clean from top to bottom, in and out. Thanks to Bruno's explanation, the return of the car was super easy even though the airport was doing some huge pavement work. Me and my family will keep doing business with Sixt and highly recommend them on your next car rental.
