I had a really great experience with Rent-a-Scooter Funchal and can honestly recommend them to anyone visiting Madeira. The staff was extremely friendly and patient. They answered every single question I had without rushing me and made the whole rental process very smooth. What I especially appreciated were the flexible return times. Even though you have to return the scooter on the agreed day, you have time until 17:30, which means you can still fully enjoy your last day on the island without stress. That makes a big difference when you want to make the most out of your trip. The pricing is very fair for what you get. It’s definitely worth it. I was even able to borrow a second helmet spontaneously so I could take a friend with me and they didn’t charge me any extra for it, which I found very generous. In my opinion, having a scooter in Madeira is almost essential. The island is so beautiful and diverse, and with a scooter you can truly experience places that would otherwise be difficult to reach. It gave me so much freedom to explore. One thing to keep in mind: if you pay the deposit in cash, you get it back in cash on the day you return the scooter. If you pay by card, it can take up to 20 working days to receive the refund. That’s important to know when planning your budget. I personally didn’t have enough cash with me, so I had to pay the deposit by card. However, I needed the deposit back earlier than expected. Thanks to their excellent customer service via email, they actually arranged the refund faster than planned, which I’m very grateful for. Overall, a very professional, friendly, and trustworthy rental company. I would definitely rent from them again.
