Frequently Asked Questions
What type of car is best for driving in Madeira?
For Madeira's mountainous terrain, we recommend at least a compact car with good engine power (terrain rating 3 or higher). Small cars may struggle on steep inclines, while SUVs and larger vehicles offer the most comfort but can be challenging on narrow roads.
Do I need automatic transmission in Madeira?
While manual transmission is fine for experienced drivers, automatic transmission can make driving more comfortable on Madeira's steep and winding roads, especially if you're not used to mountain driving. Note that automatic cars are limited and should be booked well in advance.
What documents do I need to rent a car in Madeira?
You'll need a valid driver's license (held for at least 1 year), passport or ID card, and a credit card in the main driver's name. Some companies accept debit cards, but this should be confirmed in advance.
