Having a car is one of the best ways to fully explore Madeira, guided tours can be expensive, and you only get to stop where they stop, your on a coach or mini bus and they tend to be rushed. Having your own car not only works out cheaper, but gives you the freedom to explore the island at your pace and you can stop as often as you like to get those fantastic photos. The roads in Madeira are great and very easy to drive on , once you are out of the city centre, the country roads are quiet and peaceful and you will hardly see any other traffic. Use my suggested car hire and i will send you 5 of the best routes to take to see the most of the island on your stay, along with a few driving tips to keep you safe while driving, and any other questions you have about driving in Madeira, i will be happy to help.
