We rent hybrid Fiat Panda and are really happy with overall experience. Car itself was in good condition and clean. Staff was responsive and helpful - we had quick responses for all our questions.

It was Saturday at 17:00 and we had no place to rent a car from, as my wife can drive only automatic car and we wanted both to be able to drive. This amazing company were the only one who were open & had an automatic car (new Toyota Yaris) We rented it in a few minutes since the family who drove before us just came. They made a quick clean and look, and as everything was fine they gave the car to us. We gave the car back after 5 days (to the second company location, where they drove us to the airport) and were so satisfied of everything - the price, the people, the rental experience and the car itself.

After being let down by another company, AP was a great find with Andre going out of his way to get us sorted with a car at short notice. The car was perfect for what we needed and everything was simple and easy to do from start to finish, we know where to get a car from if we return to Madeira!

I researched a number of rental places for our trip to Madeira, however this one stood out because of the reasonable price and location. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, they had you in the car and on your way in no time. Quick and easy return of the rental at the end of our stay too. I would definitely recommend 5

For a great Madeira experience, try AP Rent a Car. They offer clean, new cars at fair prices, along with excellent service, including airport pick-up and drop-off. Marco's extensive knowledge of the island provided me with great tips to explore it further.

Definitely recommend!! Amazing service, great prices and very helpful employees. Andre gave us lovely recommendations and helped us make a great itinerary to make the most of Madeira. They also made themselves available anytime we needed help!! We got the Fiat Panda and they helped us understand the car very well. Definitely the best way to make the most of our Madeira trip and will be hitting them up when I am here again. Thanks a lot!!

I had a great experience with AP rent a car Funchal. They were by far the cheapest but still offer great quality. I got a hybrid fiat panda 4x4 with 70hp which suited me well to go around the whole island. Car was also really efficient so fuel costs were low. Employees of AP rent a car were very nice and helpful from beginning to end. They explained everything about the car without rush. I was able to extend my car rental one day on short notice. They helped me fix a cab to go to the airport. All in all a great experience. If i ever had to hire a car again in Madeira, i would definetely go back here!

So glad I decided to rent through these guys. I had originally rented through the airport, but after reading reviews I decided to rent through these guys instead. When I arrived to pick it up, Afonso quickly told me about the important stuff about the car and afterwards gave us recommendations for the activities on the island. Both the pickup and the delivery of the car was very easy and quick. The car itself was very good and clean and was perfect for the roads of Madeira. I definitely recommend renting your car through this company!

SCAMMERS AND LIARS! The treatment at the time of booking was very easy and pleasant! At the time of returning the car there were other guys, one of them short and with glasses, they were quite rude and were looking for something in the car to make me pay more, luckily it couldnt be, everything was correct on my part! When I arrived in my city of origin a few days later they made a payment on my card without my authorizing it, to this day I am still in contact with my bank to recover my 70 Euros. The company still does not respond, they will force me to make everything longer but I will have to file a criminal complaint for fraud! I know that sometimes they do these things and take advantage of us being tourists, but we should not allow them to do these things to us, especially without our consent! YOU ARE THIEVES AND SCAMMERS! Obviously not all the workers, since the first day a thin guy treated me very well, but as a company you are a shame!

ESTAFADORES Y MENTIROSOS! El trato del momento de la reserva fue muy facil y agradable! A la hora de devolver el coche estaban otros chicos, uno de ellos bajo y con gafas, fueron bastante maleducados y buscaban algo en el coche para que pagara de mas, por suerte no pudo ser, todo estaba correcto por mi parte! Al llegar a mi ciudad de origen pasado unos dias me hicieron un pago en mi tarjeta sin yo autorizarlo, a dia de hoy sigo en contacto con mi banco para recuperar mis 70 Euros. La empresa sigue sin contestar, me obligaran a que sea todo mas largo pero tendre que poner una denuncia penal por estafa! Se que a veces hacen estas cosas y se aprovechan de que seamos turistas, pero no deberiamos permitir que nos hagan estas cosas y menos sin el consentimiento! SOIS UNOS LADRONES Y ESTAFADORES! Evidentemente no todos los trabajadores, ya que el primer dia un chico delgado me trato muy bien, pero como empresa sois una verguenza!

Top!!! Rented a Panda Hybrid for a week. Perfect service on their part, very kind, even though our plane was delayed 2 hours they picked us up from the airport at a non-trivial time. Very organised, thank Marcelo really perfect experience. However, I advise anyone going to Madeira to book a car with more torque than the panda I took because the island has many climbs
Translation
Top!!! Noleggiata una settimana una Panda Hybrid. Servizio da parte loro perfetto, gentilissimi, nonostante il nostro aereo abbia tardato 2 ore ci sono venuti a prendere un aeroporto in orario non banale. Molto organizzati, ringrazio Marcelo davvero esperienza perfetta. A chi andra a Madeira consiglio pero di prenotare unauto con piu coppia rispetto alla panda che ho preso io perche lisola ha molte salite

I can highly recommend! The transport from and to the airport was right on time, we hardly had to wait after arrival and we were transported to the return flight well in advance. Handing over the car and processing the necessary documentation was also very quick and trouble-free, so we could leave immediately The car worked reliably the whole time even in difficult hilly conditions. In case of questions, an employee always responded promptly on WhatsApp

SCAMMERS and THIEVES! They gave us a car and explained everything to us very well, taking photos of the damage to the car, explaining that the gasoline had to be returned full and that for any problem there were 3 telephone numbers where we could call and be assisted! We were unlucky enough to have two flat tires on our car, realizing at 5:30 a.m., we wrote to their helpline hoping that when they opened they would be able to help us, well... we had to keep calling continuously, at 12:00: 30 hours later the tow truck arrived and a guy from the rental company, this guy made no effort to explain to us, unlike the guy who helped us the first day, I told him that I had been without a car all morning, which was not normal having informed at 06:00 hours, his response was Its not my problem, I shouldnt be here , we told him that in any case it is the rental companys problem but that it is not ours either, we had suffered vandalism on 2 wheels and that we would file a report to avoid paying for the damages, since they were not caused by us, this boys response was There is no need to file a report with the police, you have to pay anyway ! It didnt seem very normal to us but the boy wasnt in the mood to help much and was in a hurry, he put us in a car and took us to the workshop where the tow truck would come with our car. This boys driving was very reckless, warning him several times not to run so far or overtake in that way, where this boy did not pay any attention! Once in the workshop, the boy spoke to the workshop, telling them that we would pay for everything through them. The workshop, very friendly and legal, explained to us that the car agency would make us pay a lot more, so we decided to pay the workshop. repairs directly, we asked for the invoice and with them perfect! Of course, leaving the workshop at 2:30 p.m.! The next day we returned the car and the problems returned, we told them that we had already paid for the repair and they began to tell us that we had to pay for the cleaning of the interior of the car, which was almost perfect, when they saw that we did not give in they told us that we had to pay for the tow truck from the previous day, where we showed them the contract that said Free 24 hour roadside assistance , the guy started to get nervous and told us that in order to help us and for the tow truck to arrive sooner he called another tow truck and of course we have to pay for it , we refused and told him that from 6:00 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. we were without a car, having paid for the entire day and that we did not ask for any other tow truck! This guy finally forced us to pay the tow truck to return the deposit, without giving us any invoice and continually trying to deceive us! To return the deposit we had to swipe the card, which the invented tow truck was paid for without our consent! We had to go to the airport and they took advantage of this! We left knowing that they had wanted to scam us even more and while waiting for the bus to the airport we met 3 police officers, we explained to them what had happened and they told us They have deceived you, also in Madeira the tow truck is free for the city and it has to cover it and more If it is because of vandalism They offered to accompany us to the car agency and talk to them, but we were in a hurry to go to the airport! Its a shame that they SCAM and STEAL from tourists in this way, the police informed us how to file a claim for this fact, which we will do! We are still waiting for the invoice for the tow payment by email and WhatsApp as the guy from the car agency promised! They are SHAMELESS! You know when a company is good when something happens to you! Thanks to the workshop and the police for helping us!

ESTAFADORES y LADRONES! Nos dieron un coche y nos explicaron todo muy bien, haciendo fotos en los danos del coche, explicando que la gasolina habia que devolverla llena y que para cualquier problema habia 3 telefonos donde poder llamar y ser atendidos! Se dio la mala suerte de que nos pincharon 2 ruedas de coche, dandonos cuenta a las 05:30 horas, escribimos al telefono de ayuda de ellos esperando a que cuando abrieran pudieran ayudarnos, pues tuvimos que estar llamando continuamente, a las 12:30 horas llego la grua y un chico de la compania de alquiler, este chico no se esforzo nada por explicarnos, al reves que el chico que nos atendio el primer dia, le comente que llevaba toda la manana sin coche, que no era normal habiendo avisado a las 06:00 horas, su contestacion fue No es mi problema, yo no tendria que estar aqui , le dijimos que en todo caso es problema de la empresa de alquiler pero que tampoco nuestro, habiamos sufrido vandalismo en 2 ruedas y que pondriamos denuncia para evitar pagar los danos, ya que no fueron causados por nosotros, la respuesta de este chico fue No hace falta poner denuncia en la policia, teneis que pagar igualmente ! No nos parecio muy normal pero el chico no estaba con ganas de ayudar mucho y tenia prisa, nos subio a un coche y nos llevo al taller donde vendria la grua con nuestro coche. La conduccion de este chico fue muy temeraria, avisandole varias veces de que no corriera tanto ni adelantara de esa forma, donde este chico no hizo ni caso! Una vez en el taller el chico hablo con los del taller, diciendoles que ya lo pagariamos nosotros todo a traves de ellos, el taller muy amables y legales nos explicaron que la agencia de coches nos haria pagar bastante mas, asi que decidimos pagar al taller las reparaciones directamente, pedimos la factura y con ellos perfecto! Eso si, saliendo del taller a las 14:30 horas! El siguiente dia devolvimos el coche y volvieron los problemas, les dijimos que habiamos pagado ya la reparacion y comenzaron a decirnos que teniamos que pagar la limpieza del interior del coche, el cual estaba casi perfecta, al ver que no cedimos nos dijeron que teniamos que pagar la grua del dia anterior, donde les mostramos el contrato que ponia Asistencia en carretera 24 horas gratis , el chico empezo a ponerse nervioso y a decirnos que para ayudarnos y que llegara antes la grua el llamo a otra grua y claro hay que pagarla, nosotros nos negamos y le dijimos que desde las 06:00 horas, hasta las 14:30 horas estuvimos sin coche, habiendo pagado el dia entero y que nosotros no pedimos ninguna otra grua! Este chico finalmente nos obligaba a pagar la grua para devolvernos la fianza, sin darnos ninguna factura y queriendo enganarnos continuamente! Para devolvernos la fianza tuvimos que pasar la tarjeta, la cual sin nuestro consentimiento se pago la grua inventada! Nos teniamos que ir al aeropuerto y se aprovecharon de esto! Marchamos sabiendo que nos habian querido estafar aun mas y esperando al autobus para el aeropuerto nos encontramos a 3 policias, les explicamos lo sucedido y nos dijeron Os han enganado, ademas en Madeira la grua es gratuita para ciudad y lo ha de cubrir y mas si es por vandalismo Se ofrecieron a acompanarnos a la agencia de coches y hablar con ellos, pero teniamos mucha prisa de ir al aeropuerto! Una pena que ESTAFEN y ROBEN a los turistas de esta manera, la policia nos informo de como tramitar una reclamacion por este hecho, cosa que haremos! Aun estamos esperando la factura del pago de la grua al e-mail y al WhatsApp como prometio el chico de la agencia de coches! Son unos SINVERGUENZAS! Se sabe cuando una compania es buena cuando te pasa algo! Gracias al taller y a la policia por ayudarnos!

Scammers. Be careful that when you return the car, they charge you without issuing the invoice! Liars! There is nothing worse than defending yourself with lies! We are going to complain and denounce, and we will demand the audio and videos from the surveillance camera! Remember to save the audio and videos!

Estafadores. Cuidado que cuando devuelves el coche, te cobran sin emitir la factura ! Mentirosos ! No hay nada peor que defenderse con mentiras ! vamos a reclamar y a denunciar , y reclmaaremos el audio y los videos de la camara de vigilancia! Acordaros de guardar el audio y los videos !
