When you arrive at Funchal Airport, it’s easy to get to the car hire centres. Once you have passed through immigration and bag collection at FNC Airport you should make your way out of the main terminal Arrivals exit and keep to the right. You can follow the ‘Car Rental’ signs, which will take you to a range of company branches, such as SIXT. Alternatively, you can get a Funchal car hire in the centre of the city. Buses and shuttles depart from outside the airport terminal to Teleférico-Término and take you to the city relatively quickly. You will need to pay for this transportation. From here, you can get to popular car hire companies, such as Renting Madeira on Rua Da Alegria, in just a short walk.
When you get a Funchal car hire, it’s important that you ensure you have the correct documentation before you arrive. Requirements may vary between agencies, so you should check with your provider beforehand. In general though, you must be 19 years of age to hire a car in Funchal. However, you must have held your licence for a minimum of one year. There will also be vehicle restrictions for younger drivers, whilst drivers under a certain age can expect to pay a surcharge too. You must provide the car hire company with a valid driving licence and passport. If your licence uses letters from a non-Roman alphabet, you’ll also need to provide an international driver’s licence. You can pay for your Funchal car hire using most major credit, but they must be in the main driver’s name.
Funchal road laws are the same as in mainland Portugal, so you should familiarise yourself with Portuguese road safety ahead of driving. In Funchal, you will drive on the right-hand side of the road. Everyone in the vehicle must also wear a seat belt throughout the journey. Whereas children under 12, or smaller than 135 cm, must be in a suitable child seat. If your child is under three years of age they can be in a child seat in the front of the car, providing the air bag is deactivated. Drink-driving is taken very seriously in Portugal, and anyone found to have a blood alcohol content of more than 0.05% will be prosecuted accordingly. You must also stick to the speed limits in Madeira. These are 90 km/h (56 mph) on motorways, and 50 km/h (31 mph) in mountains and urban areas.
As Funchal is on the island of Madeira, you will be unable to take your Funchal car hire to other countries. However, this doesn’t’ stop you from exploring the rest of the island with ease. The ER101 is a dual carriageway that takes you around the coast of the entire island. Whereas the ER103 and VE4 help you go from north to south faster. There is also a car ferry that goes to Porto Santo Island, the only other inhabited island of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. You should speak to your car hire agency to see if you can take your vehicle on this ferry. Taking your car to Porto Santo without permission could void your insurance. As most of Porto Santo's main attractions are to the south of the island, where the ferry port is, you should be able to make the journey as a foot passenger.
