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.

Car is required for the convenient trip over Madeira, loads of places can be seen within shorter amount of time by driving and it is more convenient. Visiting surf spot on North part, going to Machico beach after and visiting marvelous mountains afterwards. Madeira is full of sport activities: hiking, camping, surfing, walking, swimming.

Other than a short wait for pick up van, the experience was extremely positive. We were right for time at drop off, and the team kindly volunteered to drive us to the airport, even though the shuttle was already out. This made a huge difference to us catching our flight.

During our stay in Madeira, we visited a many interesting places, Funchal, Monte, south coast and nord coast of the Island, the penisula of saint Laurent, the higher pick of Madeira - Pico Ruive, and many many other pleaces. 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.
