A medium-sized sedan is a good option as it’s not too light when driving in strong winds and not too large when exploring the narrower streets of Funchal or other villages. Manual cars are much more common in Madeira, so if you’re not used to driving a stick, make sure to request an automatic in advance.

The speed limit within cities and villages is usually 50 km/h (31 mph), but it may be lower in certain residential areas or on blind curves, so watch out for the posted signs. Non-urban roads observe a speed limit of 90 km/h (56 mph), and highways allow you to drive at a maximum of 120 km/h (75 mph).

The roads in Funchal are quite narrow, which means small parking spots. While street parking spaces aren’t plentiful and are almost never free, there are many underground and multi-story parking garages around the city, including at the Anadia Shopping Center, which is a five minute walk to the old town. Meter parking rates can range between €0.10 and €3 per hour, depending on the location.
