I rented a car for one week, and everything went smoothly. It was a brilliant experience — easy pick-up and drop-off at the airport. Communication with the company was excellent throughout. The car was almost brand new, with only 3,000 km on the odometer and an automatic transmission. We drove 1,200 km without any issues. Even on steep hills, the 1.0L engine performed well.I recommend getting full insurance, even if you’re a very careful driver. Some people drive manual cars and struggle with hills. We had a minor accident in a parking lot — someone rolled back into our car. The rental company’s response was quick and professional. No one was injured. We took some photos, described the situation, and the company handled everything.I also saw someone hit another car in the parking lot and just leave without saying anything. So save yourself the stress — go with full insurance.I would definitely recommend this company 👍

In my humble opinion the best car rental on Madera. They offer full insurance and no deposit is required which was for me very important. They offer cars with automatic gear box. I choose Seat Arona. It was a pleasure to drive all over Madera with such a car.

⸻I rented two cars from Girasol, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team is very kind, professional, and understanding. I especially appreciated their flexibility – I returned one of the cars two hours later than scheduled, and they were perfectly fine with it, which really helped me.I had a SEAT Arona, a quiet and comfortable car. Both cars were relatively new, about two years old, and the second one had only 29,000 km on the clock – something rare and very appreciated in car rentals.Albert was especially patient and clear when explaining everything, especially the full insurance, which covered even the mirrors and tires – a big plus for peace of mind. And during the second rental, Luiza was just as helpful and friendly.I wholeheartedly recommend Girasol! A fair, transparent, friendly service – with no unpleasant surprises.

All perfect and Alberto is a terrific, very helpful guy. We have booked Seat Ibiza and the car was in perfect condition, sufficient for all Madeira (legal) roads 🙂

A great place to rent a car. Super nice personel, everything is smooth and quick when picking up and returning the car. The car was very good no problems at all. Would recommend 100% this car rental place.

Really good service with nice cars and perfect communication. Separate thanks for the support and answering all the questions, the car was clean and in time. The roads are very steep so automatic transmission is the best choice!

22:02 21 Jun 25

We rented a BMW 116d for three days. It was a well-maintained car, and the rental company was very good (thanks to Sofia). I'm very satisfied and can recommend this car rental company without hesitation. Thumbs up 👍

5/5 – Excellent Service from Start to Finish!I had a fantastic experience with my car rental here in Madeira. From the moment I arrived, Albert and Anthony were incredibly helpful and friendly—nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Their professionalism and warm attitude made the whole process smooth and stress-free.I even needed to extend my rental, and they handled it quickly and effortlessly—no hassle at all. It’s rare to find such top-notch customer service these days, but these two really set the standard.Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Everything went quickly and smoothly. I managed to rent a car for 3 consecutive days without a reservation.

Rented a car for a week. No problems. I recommend!

The reservation went smoothly. All information was provided in advance via email, and we were in contact via WhatsApp. The staff was very friendly, and the bill was explained in advance. The Seat Ibiza was clean and in very good condition. We would be happy to rent a car here again on our next trip to the island. Many thanks and greetings from Germany

14:33 14 Jun 25

Everything went smoothly. We reserved the car online in advance, and it was all very straightforward. We highly recommend it 🙂

Good prices, good insurance conditions (0 deductible, full coverage).Fresh fleet, cars are clean and well-maintained.They give the car back quickly.On the third day I noticed a small scratch that was not captured on video when I started renting. I wrote to support, they honestly answered that the scratch was there before me.They give it with a full tank, which is very nice, because you don't have to look for a gas station first.

13:22 13 Jun 25

The car was a Nissan Micra, in perfect condition. You can get anywhere in Madeira, and that's saying something (-:The service was absolutely top-notch! Ideal for those staying at the RiuMadeira Hotel, as it's less than a 10-minute walk from there!

09:02 12 Jun 25

We chose this rental company because it was located near our hotel and had good reviews. There was only one BMW available at the time of rental, so we ended up renting it (price difference to e.g. Seat only 20€/day). Everything worked really well, both rental and return were smooth, and we got a few good tips e.g. regarding parking.

I reserved a Seat Arona car two months ago, paying a symbolic fee. When I arrived in Madeira, I went to the office in Canico, Seat had been in a car accident, and they offered me a more powerful BMW 216, with which we successfully visited Madeira. Thanks Girassol!

A very good experience. Easy online booking and on-site pick-up/drop-off was seamless. Only new cars with automatic transmission. This makes things easier on the steep roads in Madeira. I'd definitely go back anytime 👍🏻 🚗💨

We stayed in Caniço de Baixo. Girassol's office was right downstairs. Frankly, that's why I chose them, but on top of that it turned out to be the smoothest car rental experience I have ever had - easy and completely stress free. Their fleet is all automatic. I rented a compact white Seat Ibiza, and, looking back, I cannot think of a better car for the island. I plan to come back to Madeira, and it is definitely going to be Girassol again.

Very good and new car. Clean and nice. Prices are reasonable. Easy to book, pick up and deliver the car. Unlimited mileage , full insurance was included.

08:05 06 Jun 25

Highly recommended, the lady was very nice and we went there spontaneously, luckily there was a car available on the same day, I had no problems returning the car, I had the car here for 2 weeks, a Renault Clio 🙂

This was first experience with car rental in Madeira and Girassol truly didn't disappoint. I had no problem with car rental at all. All went smoothly, customer service is amazing. All was explained and show properly. The guy, who was passing me the car key, was so helpful and polite. Highly recommend! We are very happy with your car price and service.

I rented a Renault Clio and was extremely satisfied with the experience. The car was in perfect condition — clean, comfortable, and ideal for the island’s narrow and steep roads. The Renault Clio turned out to be a great choice: fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and surprisingly spacious for a small car.The pick-up and drop-off process was smooth and quick, and the staff was very friendly and professional. There were no hidden fees, and communication was clear from start to finish.I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Madeira at their own pace, stress-free. I’ll definitely rent from them again on my next visit!

I am very grateful for the service provided by the company, thanks to you we saw all corners of the island. This was not my first rental experience and compared to the previous ones I am completely satisfied with it and the support of the employees as well, they respond quickly and the process of renting and returning the car itself takes no more than 5 minutes. The company also monitors flights and when I arrived, Rita was already waiting for me - it's so nice 🥰 🫶 We rented a brand new car with full insurance, as the roads in Madeira are quite difficult, very narrow in places and parking lots require extreme attention and experience. During the parking process, I damaged the bumper, which left deep scratches, I immediately wrote to WhatsApp, but the employees reassured me - the insurance will cover everything and I don't have to worry about it, although I was very sorry, because the car was brought to me brand new, clean and it smelled very nice. I sincerely recommend the company - the employees are truly customer-oriented and you can choose any rental option for yourself, a deposit is not required.

I recommend 🙏🏻 I had a flat tire - they came and immediately resolved the issue
