Cheap Car Hire in Madeira
Car hire in Madeira is an excellent way to see the island. The usual European rules of the road apply here, but be careful as the roads are steep and windy and fuel stations are few and far between.
Madeira car hire gives you access to the areas outside of Funchal, the capital city, and allows you to enjoy all the island has to offer at your own pace and to your own itinerary. You could use your car hire to access the Levadas system, or to explore the second highest sea cliffs in the world, at Cabo Girão. With a car rental in Madeira you can take a day trip to the natural volcanic swimming pools at Porto Moniz or visit the Jardim Orquidea orchid gardens. There are also volcanic caves with lava tubes at the São Vicente Caves and some spectacular scenery to be enjoyed at the many viewing points along the coastal routes and through the Nuns Valley.
Cheap car hire in Madeira is best sourced by comparing prices online and booking in advance, whilst an airport pickup makes for maximum convenience and easy transfer to your holiday accommodation.
