9761 happy clients and a 5.0-star average. Here's what they're saying.
"I'd recommend this place with all my heart. I don't think I've ever had this level of hospitality that came from them completely natural and unforced. They will deliver your car to your accommodation and will help you get back without paying for anything. Truly a 5 star experience. Definitely the best ran business I've ever seen."
"Excellent friendly service. Car was perfect for driving in the island. Option of pick up and collection at the hotels was very useful. On the top of that we received excellent guide to local sites and local restaurants and we used it! It was our first time in Madeira and we will be back for sure!"
"Amazing service and friendly people! We got some local tips for parking in Funchal and places to visit around the island. The whole process is super fast and easy. No wonder they have so many great reviews!"
"Very friendly and helpful people. The car was clean and good. No credit cards needed, only cash deposit for full tank fuel but it was refunded upon return of car with full tank. Unlike other big companies, there is no nonsense from them. They are professional and honest."
"5 stars and reviews are not a lie, this is the best car rental service that you can find in Madeira. Diogo was excellent in communicating via emails, making a reservation was fast and easy. Ana was perfect as well, giving us the best Madeira recommendations that none other website could provide."
"From the moment we stepped into the office, we received terrific, personal service. Everything was smooth and well organized, starting with the pickup from the airport, there was absolutely no waiting time, which was a great first impression. The car itself looked like new, spotless, well maintained, and a pleasure to drive."
"A wonderful experience renting through Auto Rent a Car. I recommend them for an easy rental experience. The owners and staff are wonderful. Pick up and drop off service was excellent. I definitely suggest upgrading to a more powerful car because the hills here are serious!"
"Amazing, family run business! Super helpful describing the car and giving recommendations! Highly recommend!"
"Rafael was super helpful and friendly. Many great tips for exploring the island - places you wouldn't otherwise find. Thanks!"
"Great service! I was skeptical renting a car since I saw so many bad reviews with other companies until I found Auto Rent a Car. Rafael was at my accommodation with my car within 2 hours. He also gave me lots of tips on the car and where to go in the island."
"I had an outstanding experience with this rental car service! The owner was incredibly helpful and went to pick me up from my location, which was such a kind gesture. The car itself was in excellent condition, clean, and reliable. Overall, I highly recommend them!"
"I highly recommend! Nice service gives you a feeling of being taken care of - you even receive an itinerary and all the directions. Also, the car did the best job. Overall, everything was great!"
"Great experience for car hire in Madeira. Reasonable price and very friendly, personal and professional service. We were met at the airport by Sara, who explained everything in impeccable English, including which roads to avoid and what sights to see."
"Great service and very communicative whenever an issue arose. Rafael was very sweet with good advice and recommendations."
"We used Auto Rent a Car to hire a car for three days. Excellent service. Price was very good especially considering we wanted an automatic. Car was nearly new 20k km, and in great condition. It was delivered and collected from our hotel at EXACTLY the time we arranged."
"Felt very comfortable hiring from here, answered all our questions and even gave advice on where to go and what to do. They encouraged us to check the car thoroughly beforehand and even take videos. Never felt pressured or rushed."
"Amazing! Beyond words their support throughout the rental experience. Will be back again."
"This company was top class, could not do enough for us, great recommendations and such good value. We texted a few times during our stay with questions and they were so pleasant. Highly recommend!"

"We are very satisfied with the rental. We received a Skoda with automatic transmission, in great condition and with low mileage. Contact with the owner was smooth and very pleasant. An additional plus was the great tips on what to visit on the island and where to eat well."
"Good price, good car, helpful and friendly people. They gave us a map and gave lots of recommended places to go. I can see why they always get 5 stars. Thank you!"
"Everything worked out great. The car was delivered directly to the port. The staff were super nice and could speak great German as well as English. Would gladly come back again!"
