Statusflamingo Rent a Car - Madeira Island

I wanted to express my gratitude for the outstanding service I received during my recent car rental experience in Madeira. Your staff were exceptional – friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to make the process seamless. The attention to detail in the rental process and the quality of the car provided truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you for making my trip memorable with your excellent service. I highly recommend Statusflamingo Car Hire to anyone visiting Madeira!

Great experience.
Punctual, the car drove well, was in good condition, great price with no ‘added extras’ like other companies, no need to wait at a car rental desk on arrival at the airport… they wait for you outside and it’s super fast. 100% recommendable.

Wonderful experience, highly recommended. Car brought straight to hotel doors, very nice, (almost :)) brand new, no scratches, drove really well through Madeira hilly roads. Full insurance included in price. So again, if you need to rent a car in Madeira, look no further :)

Perfect car rental. The price including full insurance and tyre cover was better than other companies without tyre cover. They wanted no down payment, no deposit, payment was made when we handed over the car at the payment terminal with a debit card.
Communication was perfect and everything went smoothly.

Greetings !!!
We had a very pleasant experience with the company.
Members of staff were very friendly and explained to us everything we needed to know. The car was a Toyota Aygo and it did just fine climbing steep hills of Madeira.
Highly recommend

We had a very, very good experience with Flamingo! Car was new, working properly, everyone was nice, the contact was great and the price was also really ok. I would totally recommend renting a car at Flamingo and surely come back here next time! Thank you!

We are without exception delighted with this car rental. We were received on arrival in Funchal, a signature, the payment and the handover were processed within a few minutes and we could drive off directly from the parking lot. I have never had such a fast and uncomplicated car rental without the imposition of further unnecessary insurance. The car (Renault Clio) was very new (about 4600km) and partly still stuck the protective films on the dashboards. The performance of the car was more than sufficient, could pass the partly extremely steep and narrow roads of Madeira well, (including luggage and 4 people) and due to the compactness we have also always found a parking space. Would also like to give more stars if possible. We had no problems. Everything very good and recommendable. We could leave the car for the return even before opening hours simply at the airport.

Totally recommend!
- very easy process of booking the car, everything clearly explained on the webpage, they are transparent - full information about your insurance, prices, charges for potential damages are described and visible on the page - nothing to hide!
- very good and competitive prices
- very fast process of taking and leaving the car
- very good contact with the company via WhatsApp
- and what is the most important - my experience when not everything goes the right way - someone hit my car over the night when it was correctly parked - I reported it via WhatsApp in the morning just after I saw the issue. No one blamed me and tried to force me to pay or anything like that (I had full insurance and it was not my fault, but still things like this could happen). I didn't need to call the police or report it in any other complicated way. I thank them for trust and for non-complicated process.

Thank you one more time for making my holiday less stressful (driving on Madeira steep roads was already enough thrilling :D)

My best experience with renting a car on holidays. Perfect communication, everything was according to our agreement. Nice clean new car, nice staff, totally recommend this company. Thank you Statusflamingo.

Brilliant service, delivered and collected on time, very good communication. We will definately use again when next in Funchal. Thank you very much Carlos.

Update a year later Feb 2024:
As before, brilliant service, very nice low mileage spotless car. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you.

We have rented Renault Clio for 5 days and it was amazing. Totally new car that had only 1200km. The communication with owner was perfect, he waited for us when we have arrived to the airport and and also when we were leaving the airport. Everything went smoothly and the guy was very nice and polite. Thank you for your time and service and wish you a good luck!

The best car rental service! We rented dacia sandero for 4 days, in good price. Car was perfectly fine, the trip was amazing. Thank you! ❤

Recommended by our friend and I can recommend too. Carlos was really nice guy, the car was in good condition (Renault Clio, 2018, just missing the parking sensors), and he did not care about little scratches. Good price. The only sad thing was a message when I was waiting for my delayed plane in Lisbon saying that there is a surcharge of 35 EUR for pickup after 22h. I should pick up the car at 21.30h so I would expect a notice about this (I do not think delayed planes are something rare here). Also, I have not found anything about the surcharge on the website. But our plane landed at 0.30 and Carlos was waiting for us and he was not angry so I paid the surcharge.

Very good car, friendly service, everything was simply, fast and perfect!

Great experience, quick response’s and informative website. We had the Toyota Yaris automatic hybrid, a new, clean, and fantastic car for Madeira. Our friends were also impressed with the car. My partner calculated the car gave us at least 50+ miles per gallon. Pleasant to deal with Carolina and Carlos, thank you for helping us enjoy a hassle free holiday.

The car was all clean and in a good condition. Everything as expected.

The car rental went absolutely perfect. We got a Seat Ibiza for two weeks. The car has been optical in a used but good condition and technical perfectly fine, even the AC worked good. The prices were below the average on the island.
Pick up and return on the airport worked perfect allthough our flight was delayed. They're very flexible!
The communication has also been very good. I strongly recommend renting your car at statusflamingo!

Best car rental service in Madeira! You do not need to leave a deposit, full insurance included in a reasonable price. There is an opportunity to leave the car at the airport before departure. Highly recommend!

Reasonable car rental with great prices with full coverage, and no credit card needed. They answered e-mails in minutes even in very late hours, and were able to adjust the booking (pick up time and location, and drop off time) easily. We rented Peugeot 107 with hill brake assist and air con, and it was great. We did not have any issues with the car, or its pick up (in Funchal city) and drop off (at the airport). They also gave us quite good tips on how to drive around Madeira.

We were fully satisfied. Quick communication by email. Quick deal. Nice car, relatively new, approximately 13500km has been driven. Fully recommended company.
