Driving in Madeira: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
Bring your licence, passport and credit card.
To rent a car in Funchal, you’ll need a full driving licence, passport and credit card. An International Driving Permit (IDP) is not required in Madeira if your licence is in English or issued within the EU.
Navigating city driving
Expect steep hills and sharp turns.
Driving in Funchal means handling winding roads, tight corners and hillside routes. Use a sat nav to avoid one-way streets and take your time on the climbs — views are great, but roads can be narrow.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
No tolls or low-emission zones on the island.
There are no toll roads in Madeira. Driving in Funchal and beyond is free from emissions charges or congestion zones, making it simple to explore the island by car.
Parking your car in Madeira
Street parking is tight in central areas.
Parking in Funchal can be limited near the old town. Look for blue zones with pay machines or head to multi-storey car parks. Many hotels offer parking or valet services.
Finding fuel or charging points
Petrol’s easier to find than EV chargers.
Petrol stations are common across Funchal. EV charging stations in Madeira are still limited, so use Electromaps or PlugShare to plan ahead if you’re hiring an electric car.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are cautious but confident on hills.
Local driving rules in Madeira are followed. Expect steady speeds, careful overtaking and good lane discipline. Take care on mountain roads and use lower gears on steeper slopes.
