Airport Car Hire
The capital of the Atlantic island of Madeira, Funchal receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Located on the southeastern part of the island, Funchal is both a hub from which the rest of Madeira can be explored and a fascinating city in its own right. These are three of its most interesting attractions:
- Architecture. Despite its relatively small size, Funchal is home to a wide variety of impressive buildings of different styles and epochs. These include the iconic Sé Cathedral, but also the São Lourenço Palace, the Jesuit Colegio Church, the São Tiago Fort which was built to repel pirates, and the Santa Clara Convent with its blue tiles.
- Gardens and parks. Funchal has a disproportionate amount of beautiful public green areas and it would be a shame not to explore at least some of them while in the city. The most famous, Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park, resembles a classical English park with long alleys and impressive gates and has a surprising variety of flora from around the world. Travellers also love the Madeira Botanical Garden and Monte Palace Hotel Gardens.
- Museums. While not as large and impressive as those of Lisbon or Porto, Funchal is home to some fascinating museums giving better insight into the traditions, art, and important historical industries of the island. These include the IBTAM Museum of Embroidery and Tapestry, Wine Museum, City of Sugar Museum, Museum of Sacred Art, and Museum of Natural History.

Travelled 1/2 of Madeira Island visiting key points of interest, the car was a Renault Clio, size wise very good given the limitations of road width, ideally could have had a little more power, as struggled a little on the steep hills leading to the mountain tops

Lovely peak to peak / Levada walks. Wonderful successful whale/ dolphin view boat trip. Very touristy toboggan ride but just had to do it .
Unfortunately did not drive to the natural Rock pools / or the sunrise in the hills as didn’t think the hire car would make it

Brilliant walks and very picturesque from one end to the other of the island. Choose your meat at the Butcher Caniço and have your skewers placed on the fire for a Espetada with a difference.

Hiring a car for the first week was a must. I oriented myself and was then more confident catching buses etc. Also, there were some areas on the island I could never have visited without the car. The surfing was very bad. The Levadas were astonishing. I found very few places where I could swim, but when I did, they were incredible. I loved the locals, and they were SO friendly, and helpful.

Great having a car to get round the island. Need to be very careful driving though - roads very steep, narrow and lots of hairpins and blind bends. Parking also difficult at prime spots, even in January. Most challenging driving have done in over 40 years behind the wheel. That said, some spectacular scenery along the cost and in the mountains. You need a small car with a bit of power and to be very good at your hill starts.
