Madeira is a beautiful island that is also known as the Hawaii of Europe.
In Madeira you will find subtropical forests, black-sand beaches, and waterfalls that pour straight onto coastal roads high up in the cliffs.
Funchal is the biggest city, but if you drive outside you'll feel you have the island just for yourself, where you'll definetly be able to disconnect.
When you are in Madeira you will hear and read about the famous "levadas", which refers to a network of narrow canals that transport rainwater. These canals are an absolute hit for trekking lovers. Being Madeira a semi-exotic island with nice weather year round, you'll find exotic flowers, fruits and bananas everywhere.
In Madeira it's extremely useful to have a car or scooter to make sure you explore every tiny corner of the island. At MadeiraRentalCars.com you will find a good range of car rental options in Madeira and supplied by truly local car rental companies.
Looking to rent a car in Madeira with a debit card? No problem! Not all, but some of our partners allow this. In this case the car rental supplier will charge the security deposit directly from the debit card, or in some cases will require it in cash. You can find this information on the checkout page under "Terms and Conditions".
Some of the car rental options on our website for the island of Madeira don't require a credit card. A standard debit card, such as Maestro or Visa Debit/Electron, is sufficient. If a security deposit is needed, it can be charged to your debit card and later refunded.
Plans can change unexpectedly, which is why we offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before your car pickup - no questions asked. You won’t face any extra costs, ensuring a worry-free travel experience.
In Madeira, most of our car rental desks are in Funchal, the capital city. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, we suggest arranging transportation to Funchal for a broader selection of vehicles. Some car rental suppliers might charge a fee for delivering cars outside of the city and airport areas.
Madeira is a very mature market in terms of tourism and car rental and you'll find a diverse selection of vehicles for your needs:
Madeira's roads are well-maintained, though some mountain and rural roads can be narrow and winding. The island's varied terrain might require a vehicle with a stronger engine, especially if traveling with a group or up steep inclines.
For extra peace of mind, consider our additional insurance options. Details about included and extra insurance can be found under the "Insurance" section when browsing our options.
