With rugged 4x4s, family estates, high performance saloons and even minibuses available, there will be something to suit everyone's needs. Sixt enables customers to add optional extras to customise their car rental in Madeira. For example, when you book you can decide whether to add an extra driver or extend your personal accident protection. Including a Sat Nav system will make finding your way around Madeira much easier, while a child seat is a must for families. With our help, you can find the ideal vehicle to drive during your stay in Portugal. However, be aware that we cannot guarantee a specific model, only separate categories of car.
This Portuguese island destination is packed with beautiful sights, and renting a car is the best way to visit them all. If you are staying in Funchal, you can quickly get to attractions in the hills like the Monte Palace tropical gardens. A rental car is essential if you want to reach more remote spots like Porto Moniz in the north-west, where you can swim in the lava pools or surf all afternoon. Having a car also makes it easier to visit some of the picturesque villages in the island's interior, allowing you to visit sites like Prazeres, with its gorgeous architecture and petting zoo where kids can meet the local llamas. Whether you want to see breathtaking scenery or discover out of the way gems, having a car hire in Madeira makes perfect sense.
