Top tips for renting a car at Madeira Airport
- The conditions of roads in Madeira are excellent, with coastal routes offering perfect settings for scenic drives. However, public means of transport don’t reach some places. That’s why you should take advantage of car rental at Funchal Madeira Airport (FNC). Moreover, you won’t get a direct bus from the airport to the center of Funchal, which is 11.8 miles away. And the available bus services have stopovers, making the journey longer (around 40min). But with a rental car, you will cover the distance in about 20 – 25min.
- Never look for a car rental upon arrival because you’ll end up wasting time at the counters and probably miss your desired car. Through KAYAK, you can reserve a ride and pick it as soon as you land in Santa Cruz. While car rental rates at FNC are generally lower than in most European cities, it is wiser to book earlier. A trip to the seaside villages of the island is much easier when you’re behind the wheels. Many people hire a small car to explore the island because a compact model is the most practical when navigating the narrow streets of Funchal. Feel free to seek advice from customer agents at Funchal Madeira Airport car rental desks. They will help you with suggestions on the best car for mountainous regions.
- Make your online reservations with your personal credit card. The name appearing on the rental contract must correspond to the one on the card. The car rental supplier will use a credit card hold as the security deposit. If you have an international credit card, it must be valid in Portugal and should suffice to pay for the car rental at Funchal Madeira Airport. Avoid third-party credit services during vehicle pick-up. Where applicable, you’ll be debited any additional fees not included in the booking voucher.
- Before booking a car to chauffeur yourself from FNC Airport, consider the traffic conditions around the area. Even though Madeiran drivers are cautious, avoid busy times on weekdays, 8 am – 10 am and 5.30 pm – 7 pm. Therefore, plan your pick-up and return any time outside of these hours. With over 250,000 residents, you can expect thousands of vehicles in other parts of Madeira, especially in the municipal seat, Funchal. Our best advice is to plan your journeys around the island anytime between 10.30 am and 4.30 pm. Road signs are very helpful, and you can always ask the locals for directions. Note that Madeira maintains right-hand traffic, just like mainland Europe, and seat belts are a must.

FAQs about renting a car at Madeira Airport
What do I need to sign a car rental contract at Funchal Madeira Airport?
A prepaid booking voucher is needed at the rental counter to confirm all your agreed-upon services. The printout also outlines the payment rates, car rental terms and conditions, special offers (if any), and the availability of the class of vehicle you’ve chosen. Remember that you can only drive in Madeira if you are 18 or older. A driving license issued by a European Union country is acceptable, and some companies require you to have held it for at least two years. If your DL originates from a non-European Union country, be sure to supplement it with an international driving permit.

Where should I return the rental car I booked at FNC Airport?
At the end of the rental period, you will need to return the car to the designated return lanes. Check the signs leading to the car parks of the respective car rental agents once you arrive at the airport. Again, the attendants should guide you to the parking as they inspect the vehicle. You’re free to leave after dropping the key and collecting your receipt.

Cons:
It wasn’t our fault at all. I believe somebody tried to break into the car during our stay and they scratched a little the top and the door. We didn’t notice until we returned the car. But Europcar charged us 430 euro for this.Budget

A little pricey but an awesome car!! And low on gas for a bmw!5.6 Fair
Jul. 2017
Pros:
The car was clean and once we had sorted out the upgrade pick up was straight forward.Cons:
We were told that the car we had booked wasn't suitable for driving in Madeira. We paid to upgrade but felt we had been duped. We also were told that it was better to pay for fuel upfront rather than return the car with a full tank as it was difficult to find fuel nearby. There is a petrol station just by the airport. We only used half a tank!2.0 Poor
