Airport Car Rental
A large Atlantic island, Madeira combines the warm weather of the Canaries with the stunning volcanic scenery of the Azores. Whether your goal is to hit the beach, go into the mountains, or sample local delicacies — or, indeed, why not all three? — you’re going to have a great time. These are three of Madeira’s main attractions:
- Funchal. The largest city of Madeira is the main port of entry for foreign visitors, but it’s also one of its main attractions. Located on the island’s southeastern coast, it is home to many notable religious and secular buildings, as well as attractions like the Lavradores Market and Monte Palace Hotel Gardens. Many of Madeira’s best accommodations can also be found here.
- Câmara de Lobos. Called the chamber of the wolves in Portuguese, this village’s name actually refers to the monk seals — “the wolves of the sea”. Although nowadays the sightings of these marine mammals are much rarer than during the arrival of the traveler João Gonçalves Zarco who gave the area its name, Câmara is still a lovely place to visit, mainly thanks to its wild shoreline and Cabo Girão, one of the highest coastal cliffs in the world.
- Laurisilva. Located in the most elevated, inland part of the island, this ancient laurel forest is one of Madeira’s most notable natural attractions. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, it is believed to be 1.8 million years old and is home to many prehistoric ferns and other plant species. It is important to take care inside the park not to damage the local flora and fauna, but there are several designated hiking paths that permit visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

We were in Madeira for 11 days and had the car from Airport to Airport for all 11 days. We totally drove over 800 Km. in the 11 days in the Audi A3 which was almost new (just about 15K Kms.). Ideal car for the trip as it has economical fuel consumption and is very powerful which is ideal for the steep roads of Madeira. We practically drove all around the island more than a couple of times. Had no problem with the car or the roads or any other issue. No tickets or fines. Enjoyed very much and having a car is a necessity if you wish to visit most of the places around the island. I would definitely recommend renting from Sixth directly. Very convenient, transparent, honest and reputed. Also the price is very reasonable, we were actually upgraded to an Audi A3 from our original booking of a lower category car. So thank you Sixth - Madeira.

If you have got a car, you are independent to public transport, you have got a more time to visiting intersting places, and not must spend it in bus.

Having a car made getting around madeira much easier for us espas we wanted to get out early to do walks.
Rent a small car as it makes parking and driving narrow roads easier

A car is essential if you want to see Madeira. The scenery is spectacular, the roads good and local driving standards are excellent. However be prepared for some steep mountains and lots of hair pin bends.

Madeira is hill after hill and tight in space, so I wouldn't recommend renting a car if you aren't an experienced driver or if you tend to panic behind the wheel - you will definitely encounter some tricky situations during your rides. Most of the roads are in good condition except for some places outside the main roads where we did encounter huge holes you need to avoid. Get a car with a support system to help you get up those steep hills, it will make your life easier.

Definitely we were glad that we rented a car as we could visit many amazing places in Madeira. It was so easy to check in/out and there were no hidden costs. I highly recommend to rent a car via Discover/Madeira Rent-A-Car!

Car with automatic transmission was very helpful on the steep roads. :)
Besides the most popular spots, we recommend to visit Eira do Serrado viewpoint, Ponta Delgada town, drive along the coastline of the island. :)

We had a broken transmission on the second day. It took an hour for the towing car and a taxi. That was oké. I was brought to the airport where I got a new car. It was handled oké apart from the fuss that I had to pay for the gas for a 100 km while I missed my guided tour through Funchal.

I went around the island and took the car into very interesting places. One needs to be careful when starting the car and shifting from manual to automatic...Make Sure you have the hand brake on every time you start the car and put it on when you park.

Exploring Madeira with a rental is an absolute must. You will get to such beautiful places up in the mountains and down in the valleys where you wouldn’t get without a car or with a tour. Absolutely recommend this to anyone who is visiting Madeira. Just step in the car and go out exploring, and you will be rewarded by this beautiful island!

To explore I would really recommend getting a car so you can explore at your own pace. However we opted for the smallest/cheapest car but it really struggled on the steep hills here - I would HIGHLY recommend upgrading to the next one up from the smallest so you have a little more power to conquer them! Also when driving on the main dual carriageway the turn offs come quickly with no slip road so slow down with plenty of time and know clearly which exit number you are wanting. When joining the dual carriageway you MUST check there are no cars coming - don't just join - this might mean stopping completely until the road is clear.
The roads however are definitely far quieter than many places I've driven (particularly when you're off the main roads). Its very hilly/mountainous so you will need some confidence with navigating tighter, weaving roads.

Madeira is about exploration and without a car would be a very poor holiday. Some people would prefer expensive bus tours so that would be ok for them but we relished in the freedom of our Panda. Just for nipping out to the store or taking a quick ride on a boring afternoon, or a long day with a mountain hike in the middle. Impossible to be spontaneous without a car. But boy are the mountain roads steep!

Rent a car if you really want to explore Madeira. An excellent road network with lots of tunnels linking up the various parts of the island. The roads are generally in very good condition. Mountain roads are narrow but with care you'll be fine.

Madeira is a wonderful island with incredible views from the mountainous interior. The hills can be pretty steep so if you are planning to drive into the interior or explore the island you may wish to invest in a slightly more powerful car than the cheapest available. We opted for the cheapest car and were absolutely fine but in retrospect we probably should have paid for a slightly more powerful car so that the hills were a little less emotional! This is not a poor reflection on Bravacar in any way - they gave us what we paid for - but you should consider spending a few extra pennies.

Madeira has a lot of hilly roads and for easy driving would suggest something with a good sized engine. If, however, you like a challenge and don't mind frequent gear changes a small car will get you round the whole Island and is easy to park.
