Car parking in Madeira was quite cheap and therefore do not worry about using a car park. Some of the car parks can be quite tight, therefore if you are not confident driving a left-hand drive car then hire a smaller vehicle.

Renting a car to explore Madeira is a great option if you prefer not to travel in group - coach tours and allows you to stop & start your journey on your terms & time.
The scenery is jaw-dropping on the island, so being able to pull over into safe stopping areas to admire the views and travel in & out of areas at your own pace & time of day is priceless.

I would recommended a small car due to narrow roads etc, but with sufficient power to handle the steep in inclines with ease. The mini convertible was perfect.

In Funchal.. stick to the main routes as the hilly terrain where some local roads are near vertical to drive up can be difficult to navigate.. so don't always rely on Google map..

Definitely hire a car when in Madeira to get around but I would recommend getting a larger engine or a diesel if driving up the hills as they're very steep. We struggled sometimes in the 1.2 Petrol Punto.

Madeira is s wonderful place I have visited several times now and would recommend hiring a car to everyone as there is so much to see.
I recommend that you don't get the cheapest as the small engine has trouble getting up the very steep hills, I only made this mistake once.
Runt and enjoy !

Madeira is a beautiful island to explore by car, their are some very small roads and lots of tunnels (The tunnels are safe and wide). The local drivers sometimes take rules as advice rather than law, but they are mostly laid back and polite and give tourists leeway.
