Inexpensive car rental in Funchal is considered one of the most convenient ways to get around the island. You can rent a car directly outside the main airport terminal, for example from Ace Rent A Car.
The average price of a car rental in Funchal per day ranges from 25-35 EUR. The cheapest car rental in Funchal is a small car rental (from 22 EUR per day). The choice of cars provided by agencies is diverse. Just be aware that many of the streets in the city center are one-way, and it's easy to get confused.
Tip for tourists: To save money, we recommend renting a car for a longer period of time (for example, if you plan to spend five days in the city, paying for a car rental for a week will be cheaper than paying separately for each day). For comparison: the cost of renting a two-door Ford KA is 25 EUR per day and 102 EUR for a week.
Parking in the resort should not be a problem: most hotels have free parking lots. As a last resort, you can leave your car on the seafront.
And one more thing: In Madeira, you can drive a car with no more than 0.5 ppm of alcohol in your blood (that's almost a whole bottle of dry wine).
