Lots of mountains so drive slow! Roads were in great conditions though

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Funchal

  • A hire car is by far the best option to explore not only Funchal, but the whole of the Madeira island, as you will have the freedom to go anywhere you want and make as many scenic stops along the way as you please. Driving along the stunning roads will offer you astonishing views; just try heading to the sandy beaches of Calheta, just 40 minutes away, or to the closer Laurisilva Forest, which is around 10 miles away from Funchal.
  • All the major car hire companies, including Avis, Budget, and Europcar, can be found at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 (FNC), commonly known as Madeira Airport, which is located approximately 8.2 miles from Funchal. You can walk straight to the car hire parking lot, which is just across from the terminal. The closest petrol station to Madeira Airport is just five minutes away.
  • Due to recent road work, Madeira now has a great network of both inland and coastal roads that have replaced the older, much more dangerous ones. However, there are still plenty of uphill roads with sharp bends that are also quite windy, so be extra careful when driving in new territory. Some roads are also quite narrow and are not advised for people with vertigo issues, so make sure to drive slowly and carefully.
  • The island of Madeira does not experience traffic jams, and even during rush hour you won’t find congestion bad enough to add too much extra time to your travels. There is, however, a bigger influx of cars on the road, especially between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., and then again after 5 p.m. If you’re heading to the airport during those hours, just plan to leave a bit early.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Funchal for €14 or less
  • Book your car hire in Funchal at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy hire cars in Funchal are around 62% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Funchal

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Funchal?

    A medium-sized sedan is a good option as it’s not too light when driving in strong winds and not too large when exploring the narrower streets of Funchal or other villages. Manual cars are much more common in Madeira, so if you’re not used to driving a stick, make sure to request an automatic in advance.

  • What’s the speed limit in Funchal?

    The speed limit within cities and villages is usually 50 km/h (31 mph), but it may be lower in certain residential areas or on blind curves, so watch out for the posted signs.

Great experience, except for the man that runs the check in and check out of the cars. He was unpleasant and not very helpful. Good customer service starts with a smile and a connection, not a frown and a terse word or two.

I am currently taking this further with Qeeq who were the vendor behind Surprice, I cancelled the hire as it seems the time I selected to pick up was the exact time the rental desk - and out of hours phone number - closed. I was left stranded, and am now out of pocket. Qeeq have been okay at sorting this out but I feel I will be arguing with them for some time. Appreciate this is nothing to do with Kayak but worth sharing.
