After reading the reviews, renting with Sixt in Europe for years, and renting a car in Madeira for a week…here is my experience and what you need to do: Within your price budget, (1) rent an automatic (2) get the 0 euro deductible insurance (3) get the wheel with windshield insurance. With the steep inclines and elevations changes, I wouldn’t trust the clutch in any rental car from any rental company. The roads are narrow, the garages are narrow, the turns are tight with curbs, some hiking parking areas aren’t paved, and some roads have big potholes. Make sure your rental has those 3 items above and just enjoy a carefree drive of the island.
