The person directing me to park caused me to scratch the car.

We reserved a Via Verde transponder device in advance, but were told it was out of stock upon arrival. This made navigating the complex Portuguese highways very inconvenient and resulted in excess toll charges. The original car model we booked was unavailable, and the replacement car broke down. After the vehicle was towed, we were overcharged for fuel. We had to travel to the airport to get another car, incurring additional expenses. Although we initially booked the car for three days, we only used it for one and a half days. At the very least, we should have been refunded for one day's rental. They also charged us extra fees due to supposed changes in daily rates for early returns. Despite having full insurance, we had to handle everything ourselves, and the reimbursement process was frustratingly complex. It was a very unpleasant and nerve-racking experience.

Madeira airport is not very large, and the car rental company is located within the airport. The procedures were quick and there were no issues. Madeira's roads are mostly mountainous, especially in the old town, where many roads have steep gradients of over 30 degrees. If you're not an experienced driver, I really don't recommend driving in Madeira, as the roads can feel like a roller coaster and most people will find them challenging.

The customer service attitude was mediocre.

The wait for pick up was very long with no waiting area. The agent who served me did not clearly explain the rental agreement and I was wrongly charged 350 euros more that what I was expecting as additional extras were added without explanation. Agent at the drop off was sympathetic to my circumstances, but unable to help.
