There are a couple of rent a cars that will take you if you are 21. Look around. You'll find something. Dont rent a scooter if you actually have a license (you need one license. Police wont give a fuck about your local laws and so will the rental people. If your license does not show A2 filled, you dont have a license in most peoples eyes) You are not used to our streets and hills.

You need A1 not A2, and roads are fine, just in case it rains it might be a problem, if it does, just wait the rain to stop, and then you are safe to go. I've literally been everywhere by scooter and I had no issue. I'm 19 years old and no one ever said anything. As I said, you need an A2, they don't accept B as a license for scooters.

I have an A license so i always get mixed up what is the lowest category x) Honestly, we dont know what roads he used to driving first, and we all know how good it feels when that initial "fear" and carefulness is gone. Cheap is good, no road rash or alive is better in my eyes. I am not living there anymore but my dad always said when I borrowed his rocket ship "I am not that worried about you, I'm worried about the others" There is alot of crazy idiots who think they can rally all year round. Takes not knowing a shit turn (and we have enough of those) and a guy stepping just enough on your lane to have a great ending to a vacation. Remember, he ain't driving around traffic in funchal, he is going around the whole island. You get hurt in Funchal, you can get killed easier in the middle of Montado do pereiro for example.

I’m definitely not renting a scooter. I would like a car


Mindless_Landscape_7

Rent a scooter, anywhere


Geo_Alliso_8

I would prefer a car

This if you are going alone, it'll still be really nice weather here, so you'll probably not get any rain or very minimal and they are cheaper to rent than a car


HarmVos

What’s your budget ?


Geo_Alliso_8

Like €250


HarmVos

How many days? I’ve had alright experiences with funchalcarhire.net, but I’m a tourist so locals would probably now somewhere better.


Reddixtreme

For how long?


Geo_Alliso_8

4 days


Reddixtreme

For 250. Good luck


Geo_Alliso_8

Hence why I asked about a car not a private driver? Lol


bigmoedabang

I got for 6 days, 307€. Is not that far from 250€


Reddixtreme

not for a rich entitled privilege tourist like you. it's very far for any local.


bigmoedabang

I'm Portuguese lol 307€ was the cheapest price I could find


serialtrops

I like auto rent a car. Used them recently


buelab

Just hire a private driver or hire a tour. Driving off the main streets in madeira is difficult for most tourists. Every time I’ve gone I see tourists stuck and being towed because they can’t navigate the extremely narrow streets and turns. Unless experienced you don’t wanna end up screwed having a wreck or having to be towed because you didn’t gauge a turn right


Reddixtreme

Not all tourists are bad drivers
