I didn't notice it at the scene, but later I found out they overcharged me. I explicitly said no extra insurance was needed, but they added it secretly. First time being tricked in 30 years of traveling abroad.

Always check tire pressure after pickup, you can pump them at any gasoline station. Repsol is my recomendation. Make sure you pay for extended insurance coverage in places like Madeira :)

I found the staff at the counter treated me differently as I had used a 3rd party provider and not booked direct and criticised the paperwork I had. They then tried to sell me excessive insurance that I didn't want. When I said no they then told me my car would be inadequate for the terrain and tried to bully me into an upgrade. All the time they were pushing to spend more money at the desk, I guess they get commission.

signage very small in the airport and missed it first time. There was no one at he desk when we found it and had to wait for a few minutes for someone to come. Adding extra drivers was very expensive. The car was excellent - new, clean, spacious.

Got Peugeot travellers as Vehicle. maintenace needs a little updating as tires were worn on outside edge of tire. Brakes were also warped/worn from heat/use and making noise with excessive shaking of steering wheel when applying brakes. With lots of downhills and steep roads left a little doubt about use.

They added mysterious insurance to the order. You must be careful. Even after we told them we didn't need it, they still added extra insurance. The rental company didn't deal with it, so we had to accept the loss.

The counter is good visible and the queue was also not long. However, the counter staff is not friendly and is especially not supportive. We were only allowed to get the car if we sign extras - we told the employee that we do not wish any extras and he told us that this is compulsory and will be charged only if we return the car not filled. We could not read the full document because he did not print it and only showed us the signature field. After return we were charged an amount for rsn. Not recommendable at all.
