After reading the reviews, renting with Sixt in Europe for years, and renting a car in Madeira for a week…here is my experience and what you need to do: Within your price budget, (1) rent an automatic (2) get the 0 euro deductible insurance (3) get the wheel with windshield insurance. With the steep inclines and elevations changes, I wouldn’t trust the clutch in any rental car from any rental company. The roads are narrow, the garages are narrow, the turns are tight with curbs, some hiking parking areas aren’t paved, and some roads have big potholes. Make sure your rental has those 3 items above and just enjoy a carefree drive of the island.

After reading reviews I was a little bit worried, but it all went smoothly. Person at the counter was pleasant and informative, not pushy which is nice for a chance. I have bought upfront fuel witch came with slight car upgrade, fuel was slightly more expensive then at the pump, but I have got better car, so not complaining. Car was clean and tidy all in good condition.

The reviews for all Funchal car rental companies are appalling so I wasn't sure what to expect. For us though things were absolutely fine. I am a very experienced renter so I don't fall for any of the common scams, but they didn't even try them with me anyway. No attempts to sell upgrades, insurance or tanks of fuel. Perhaps it's just my demeanour because I did overhear the desk next to me trying to push a full tank of fuel on the family (you're doing well if you can use a full tank on a 34 mile long island!). Their pickup process was unnecessarily long with the agent feeling he had to show me every existing damage to the vehicle (I only care about finding any damage they haven't already logged). Return was easier and received an email within minutes confirming no new damage. I have my own excess insurance anyway but I'd hate for them to have to pay out due to a car-hire scam. You definitely need a powerful car for this island. We apparently had their best vehicle (Ford Kuga) and it often struggled with the hills. It only had about 20K on the clock but the automatic gearbox felt like a car of 4 times that mileage! Kuga is possible one of the worst cars I've ever driven but that's not really Sixt's problem.
