Car ok and clean. But tank only half full, which is an nucance, as you never know how much to put in the tank. Access is very difficult to find, as it's in the old town with a lot of closed roads. No way to drop the key after rental, so you have to go back there just to drop the key. When I gave it back, there was fuel missing worth 3-5 EUR. They wanted to charge me an amount more then to fill the entire tank. So I went to fill again on my own. What does it matter if it's half full or half full? And yes, very careful checking even tough we had full coverage (for a high price). Good point: one staff was very friendly, and it's central.

We had rented a small car from Whynot through SunnyCars. Upon arrival at the office, we were upgraded to a brand new Peugeot 2008. The office in Funchal operates efficiently and professionally. After returning the car, we received an SMS notification that a driver's license had been left in the car while we were already at the airport. The license was sent to our home the same day. Conclusion: 10-star service!!!

Run away. I was prepared to reccomend this company until I received a message saying they are charging me $600 for damages to the car. We hardly drove the car and never even touched the area they are claiming we damaged. My daughter and I parked this car at our hotel and went shopping. Not too much driving. I plan to dispute the charges and will call my travel agent and friends and family to let them know this company will scam you. I have my own pictures of the car as well.

We came to rent a car (reserved in advance!) and realized that we both forgot our driving licenses back in Canada! We didn't even have a picture of them. A total panic mode! We were desperately searching for a solution! During that time, the agent named Rose was very calm and very friendly to us. She made a few good suggestions; one was to search the Website of Ministry of Transportation in Canada to see if we could find a record of our silences online. Following her valuable advice, we were able to find that record! I felt that she literally SAVED our vacation! Without a car in Madeira for a week - it would be a disaster! Well... having a car was a disaster too, LOL, due to the crazy roads they have in Madeira, but that's a different story! :-) So, we sincerely, want to THANK Rose for her service and advice! An overall experience renting and returning the car was easy, hustle free. Good service! Obrigado!

Had no problems with the car or service. We got a basically brand new car delivered to our hotel, great service, lovely lady working there. Can't comment on the prices since we kinda rented the last minute and didn't get the chance to check the other offers.

It's been quite a journey to find THE rental car place that has good cars and good prices. After reading some really comments, we decided to give it a chance. We reserved a car for 10 days and the car was almost brand new! (only a 1000km on it!). We were super happy since Madeira is quite hardcore to drive with all the curves and hills. We had really really good customer service and our experience was hassle free. I can't recommend this place enough! When we'll go back to Madeira (cause for sure we will come back!), we will rent with WhyNotCar Rental again for sure!

Renting from Why Not was a pain free experience. We rented a car to explore the island for 1 day and Why Not had the best rate on the island. Our car was brand new (not even 50km on it) and equipped with Apply CarPlay to make navigating easy. We were charged a EUR100 gas deposit which was refunded upon returning the car. Be sure to return with a full tank to avoid this! There's also overnight parking nearby for <EUR2 if you need to return the next morning.

They brought us a stick shift when we asked for an automatic, we lost a whole day of use and they still charged us , when they came to swap out the car they told us it would be an additional charge .

The car and price at Why Not Car Rental were fine, but the lady who made our booking (from the rental itself) was unfortunately very unfriendly. There was no room for questions and it seemed like she absolutely didnt want to make time for us. Too bad, because we wouldnt rent here again due to the service.
Translation
De auto en prijs bij Why Not Car Rental waren prima, maar de dame die onze boeking deed (van de rental zelf) was helaas erg onaardig. Er was geen ruimte voor vragen en het leek alsof ze absoluut geen tijd voor ons wilde maken. Jammer, want door de service zouden we hier niet opnieuw huren.

We rented for 7 days through Mietwagen Brocker. Everything is ok, but a caveat is in order. I have never experienced such a thorough vehicle inspection as here, both at handover and delivery (20 minutes inspection each time!). Here it might be appropriate to choose car insurance without any co-payment. Not all damage is caused by yourself, such as parking collisions, etc.
Translation
Wir haben 7 Tage gemietet uber mietwagen brocker. Alles ok, aber ein Caveat ist angebracht. Ich habe noch nie so eine grundliche Fahrzeuginspektion erlebt wie hier, sowohl bei Ubergabe als auch bei Abgabe (20 Minuten Sichtung jeweils!). Hier ist es vielleicht doch angebracht eine KFZ-Versicherung ohne Eigenbeteiligung zu wahlen. Nicht alle Schaden verursacht man z.B. selber, wie Parkrempler etc.

We rented a car for 7 days and got what we expected. An Opel crossland as an automatic. Big enough not to have to squeeze anything in, small enough to get through the narrow streets in Madeira. We paid around 430 for 7 days. Since we booked through a travel agency in DE, you also get the contract conditions from Germany if damage, etc. occurs. I can only recommend this to everyone. The staff was super friendly and uncomplicated. Car had 20,000km on it and was in tip top condition. Gladly again!

Wir haben uns fur 7 Tage ein Auto gemietete bekommen haben wir was wir erwartet hatten. Einen Opel crossland als Automatik. Gross genug um nichts reinquetschen zu mussen, klein genug um durch die engen Strassen in Madeira zu kommen. Wir haben ca. 430 fur 7 Tage gezahlt. Da wir uber ein Reiseburo in DE gebucht haben, bekommt man auch die Vertragskonditionen von Deutschland, sollte ein Schaden etc. Entstehen. Das kann ich nur jedem empfehlen. Personal war super freundlich und unkompliziert. Auto hatte 20.000km drauf und war tip top. Gerne wieder!

Very The car was delivered to the hotel. The employee explained everything thoroughly and showed us next to the car. Minimum formalities. Your driving license details and a few signatures and youre good to go. No credit card needed. I paid in cash. They charge a 100 deposit in case someone forgets to return a refueled car. The car is an Opel Astra in a automatic car (I recommend it to everyone driving in Madeira) You can also return your car in front of the hotel. Quick and efficient and of course the deposit was refunded. I recommend it again.

Auto to Opel Astra w automacie ( polecam wszystkim je d cym po Maderze ) Zwrot samochodu rownie pod hotelem. Szybko i sprawnie i oczywi cie zwrocona kaucja . Jeszcze raz polecam.

Had inquired about the hotel. Very nice and complicated handling by the employees, who came to the hotel especially. Car was a Peugeot 208 automatic. Good condition, lots of scratches (but they are normal on Madeira). We were also able to easily extend another day by phone. Drop off directly at the hotel. All uncomplicated. Oil trips are also super cheap. Clear recommendation

Hatten uber das Hotel angefragt. Sehr nette und u komplizierte Abwicklung der Mitarbeiter, kamen extra ins Hotel. Auto war ein Peugeot 208 Automatik. Guter Zustand, viele Kratzer (sind auf Madeira aber normal). Konnten auch ganz easy per Telefon noch einen Tag verlangern. Abgabe direkt im Hotel. Alle unkompliziert. Lreise sind auch super gunstig. Klare Empfehlung

Rented a car through Sunny Cars for more than a week. We received a spacious Peugeot 2008 that was almost new. When picking up from the airport it took some time to find the right person, but once found we were at the office with a short transfer. Everything was clearly arranged and smoothly. When dropping off at the office in the center of Funchal we were glad it was a Sunday, otherwise it can be a challenge to get there, and parking spaces are scarce. No damage or problems, everything fine!
Translation
Via Sunny Cars voor ruim een week een auto gehuurd. We kregen een ruime Peugeot 2008 die nog haast nieuw was. Bij het ophalen vanaf de luchthaven was het even zoeken naar de juiste persoon maar eenmaal gevonden waren we met een korte transfer bij het kantoor. Alles duidelijk geregeld en vlot. Bij het inleveren in bij het kantoor in het centrum van Funchal waren we blij dat het een zondag was, anders kan het een uitdaging zijn om er te komen, en parkeerplaatsen zijn er nauwelijks. Geen schades of problemen gehad, alles prima!

A very reliable rental company! Simple rules, minimum formalities, very competent service. The car was practically new, everything worked as it should. Zero problems with returns. They charge a 100 euro deposit only for fuel, which was immediately returned to us when everything was OK. Thank you very much to the lady who stored our luggage for a few hours because we had a flight in the afternoon. I recommend it, best regards and thank you again! :)

The rental company was recommended to us by a resident travel agency. The car is in very good condition and at a normal price. It is worth paying more and taking out insurance in the package. The car was delivered to us at the hotel and picked up from the hotel, which is undoubtedly a big plus. There is no deposit, but the rental company asks for my credit or debit card number in case I forgot to fill the tank when returning the car. I recommend

We asked the receptionist at our hotel in Porto Moniz for a rental car. Since the hotel seems to have good contact with Why Not, we booked through them. The car, a Peugeot 208, was handed over to us at the hotel at the agreed time. The car was still fairly new and was in impeccable condition! Everything was fine. The only thing we could possibly complain about was that the car was picked up again an hour later than agreed.
Translation
Wir hatten in unserem Hotel in Porto Moniz an der Rezeption nach einem Mietwagen gefragt. Da das Hotel wohl guten Kontakt zu Why Not hat, haben wir daruber gebucht. Das Auto, ein Peugeot 208 wurde punktlich zum vereinbarten Zeitpunkt im Hotel an uns ubergeben. Das noch recht neue Auto war in einem tadellosen Zustand! Alles war prima. Das Einzige, was wir vielleicht bemangeln konnten, war, dass das Auto eine Stunde spater, als verabredet, erst wieder in Empfang genommen wurde.
