I phoned from UK to enquire about renting a small car for 5 days, two weeks before our holiday. Was offered a fair price by Insularcar, so went ahead with phone booking. Car was dropped off at our hotel on correct day, at correct time; rental man checked car with me, all fine. We used the car (Nissan Micra) everyday for 5 days, to see Madeira. Car went well, drove easy. Car was picked up 5 days later by the rental company, agent checked car with me, all good again. Rental process was very smooth, price fair, rental employees friendly. I was very pleased with the service, no problems, and had a great holiday. What more can you ask?

We've got new car with only 5K mileage. Pick up and drop off were very easy and smoothly. They don't block security deposit what is very pleasant.

Car ok but several issues with the gear box but I brought the car back with a full tank by mistake and they didn't try to contact me to give me back 40EUR ( got the car with only 1/3 in it...) So it was very expensive

I do not recommend this rental. I booked via Rentalcars with full insurance and !!full tank!! However, they gave me car with 1/3 tank. And it is really almost impossible to return the car back with the same fuel level. The car which I received was awfull, brakes K.O., tires K.O. and seemed that also engine was not ok ("check engine" control appeared many times). I understand that on this kind of roads it is normal that the cars are in bad condition after 100k km, but the rental was not so cheap and I expected a lot better quality, at least full tank!

Had a wonderful trip to Magical Madeira earlier this month made even better with the car case we hired from Insular after reading through the reviews on here. We booked through the economy car hire now zest as the rates were very reasonable. We hired for 5 days at cost of PS68 for a small car. We took the extra insurance from economy car hire for PS12.50, to include tyres and undersurface of the car. 20 euros paid locally for a child booster seat. I was greeted by Jorge their rep on arrival who explained everything n I signed the agreement. He asked for extra insurance which I refused as I had already taken one from zest. No hard sell. Tool us to our car which was parked outside. It was a newish (abt a year old) Renault Clio. Looked brand new to me. No marks on the car n tyres looked new. The car had an in-built satnav as well which meant that I didn't need to use my phone as satnav. The car drove very well even on the very steep climbs to Monte in 1st gear. The return was seamless as well at the airport and the deposit of 800 euro on credit card was cancelled. So very happy to recommend Insular. I have no affiliation to them. Just a happy customer.

I recommend this rental company. Good contact via WhatsApp before the rental. The car was booked in advance and I received it immediately. I took it with full insurance and no deposit. Payment in cash or card (can be debit). If taking out without insurance, a deposit is required. Nice service. Everything was sorted out very quickly. Returning the car is also hassle-free.

Wonderful experience! We discovered Insularcar through a lady who was passing by on the street and who recommended it to us, as it is one of the cheapest companies and they didnt require a credit card. Everything went very well. They were very quick in delivering and returning the car, agile and without major bureaucracy. We were 2 people and they assigned us a recent Peugeot 208, we paid 35/day (includes insurance against everything) + 20 car delivery fee at the airport + 200 cash deposit, which was returned at the end. Without a doubt, if and when we return, we will contact the island again.
Translation
Experiencia maravilhosa! Descobrimos a Insularcar atraves de uma sra que estava a passar na rua e que nos recomendou, uma vez que e das empresas mais baratas e nao precisavam de cartao de credito. Correu tudo muito bem. Foram muito rapidos na entrega e devolucao do carro, ageis e sem grandes burocracias. Eramos 2 pessoas e atribuiram-nos um Peugeot 208 recente, pagamos 35 /dia (inclui seguro contra tudo) + taxa de entrega do carro no aeroporto 20 + caucao de 200 em dinheiro, que foi devolvida no fim. Sem duvida que se e quando voltarmos, contactaremos a insularcar novamente.

We had a rental car for seven days and were very satisfied with the car and the service. Everything went smoothly. We reserved the car in advance via the Internet otherwise we probably wouldnt have gotten a car. In the high season it makes sense to reserve.
Translation
Wir hatten sieben Tage einen Leihwagen und waren mit dem Auto und dem Service sehr zufrieden. Es lief alles reibungslos. Wir haben den Wagen vorher uber das Internet reserviert ansonsten hatten wir wohl auch kein Auto mehr bekommen. In der Hauptsaison macht es also Sinn zu reservieren.

I rented the car through Holiday Check Cars, complete with insurance. Very friendly staff on site during handover. The lady even spoke German, which I never expected. Everything went very smoothly and the car was in great condition. Returning wasnt a problem either.... Gladly again.... Top service at a fair price...

Ich habe das Auto uber Holiday Check Cars gemietet,komplett mit Versicherung. Vor Ort bei der Ubergabe sehr freundliches Personal. Die Dame sprach sogar deutsch, womit ich nie gerechnet hatte.

Absolutely satisfied! We had to orient ourselves briefly because the handover was not carried out in the building at the counter but directly outside in the parking lot, but it was clarified after a short phone call. Employees were very friendly, quick and very accommodating and relaxed regarding damage etc. Return was also quick and uncomplicated, even though we were there an hour before the time. 6/5 stars
Translation
Absolut zufrieden! Haben uns zwar kurz orientieren mussen, weil die Ubergabe nicht im Gebaude am Schalter sondern direkt draussen am Parkplatz durchgefuhrt wurde, war aber nach einem kurzen Telefonat geklart. Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, schnell und bezuglich Schaden usw. sehr kulant und entspannt. Ruckgabe war ebenfalls schnell und unkompliziert, obwohl wir 1h vor dem Zeitpunkt dort waren. 6/5 Sterne

Uncomplicated car rental directly in the parking lot in front of the airport. We received a detailed introduction to the vehicle. No additional insurance was imposed, as I have experienced with other car rental companies. There were no problems with possible new damage when returning it either. All in all, I can fully recommend Insulacar.
Translation
Unkomplizierte Autoanmietung direkt auf dem Parkplatz vor dem Flughafen. Wir bekamen eine ausfuhrliche Einweisung in das Fahrzeug. Es wurden keine zusatzlichen Versicherungen aufgeschwatzt, wie ich es bei anderen Autovermietern erlebt habe. Auch bei der Ruckgabe gab es keine Probleme bezuglich eventueller neuer Schaden. Alles in allem kann ich Insulacar uneingeschrankt empfehlen.

Overall a reputable company, everything went well. The car was almost new and very well maintained and took us up and down all the mountains despite the low horsepower. The employee who gave us the car and took it back was initially annoyed and a bit unfriendly when dealing with customers, but then apologized. Otherwise great.
Translation
Insgesamt eine seriose Firma, alles hat gut geklappt. Das Auto war fast neu und sehr gepflegt und hat uns alle Berge hoch- und runtergebracht trotz der wenigen PS. Die Mitarbeiterin, die uns das Auto gegeben und es wieder zuruckgenommen hat, war im Kundenkontakt zu Beginn schnell genervt und etwas unfreundlich, hat sich dann aber entschuldigt. Ansonsten top.
